Glad to help. You're gonna have a blast with that rig I think.

PS: The Noctua usually comes with a whole tube of quality paste. Mine did atleast.

Yeah, I used mx-2 because I had it anyway, but the supplied paste is very good. So if you're not going to use the mx-2 for any other heatsinks I'd leave it out. Saves you a few quid

Good choice of hardware and thanks for the reps
