CPU cooler ?

Also I would use the paste that comes with the cooler as I did and works great. I have built a few computers and this was a pretty easy install.

I don't have that cooler anymore, but I still use that thermal paste, always. It's real good.

Thanks - when I saw the cooler came with paste, I decided that would be the best thing to use.

The 8700K Turbo`s to 4.7 out of the box, the only thing you should do is Sync the cores, it`s done in the Bios, and leave it at that.

Nice case. I think you'll like the D15s. You have plenty of room for the D15.

Hope you're right. Order arrived, and it seems I ordered the D15, not the 15s. By the size of the case I could a small horse in it.

The White Whale is now up and running - thanks to all the good info I got here.
I synced all the cores, as was suggested here, according to Task Manager - the CPU is running a 4.69 GHz - not bad.
I intend to leave all alone for awhile, finish software install and updates.
Let me just say that this case is BIG!

I set it up with the laptop showing the online mobo manual - literally by the numbers - following instructions is a wonderful thing

Again, thanks for all the good info

Looking good 24c. Nice job.

Thanks - there are sides, top, and a front that go on the case - kinda liking the open case look myself though.
