Hey guys let me give you some details about my computer and any hints suggestions or guides you have. I built a new computer about 4 months ago as follows:
Mobo: MSI K8N Neo2 platinum (939)(Nforce3)
CPU: AMD FX-55
Case: Cooler master CMStacker full tower
PSU: Antec Truepower 550w
4 sticks of 512ram
Graphix Kard: 6800 gt ultra BFG

The Vapo chill was bought about 2 weeks before xmas. Its a black vapo chill LS model. the only thing that concerns me is on the manual it says (Socket 478/754/940 Socket kit) does that include the 939 or is the 940 the same?

I also read some about dielectric grease, the tube that came with the LS and AS5. I have AS5 and obviously i have the tube that came with the LS, where do you find the grease?

The main reason i have waited so long to install it I am a very visual person and the directions aren't so visual. I just don't wanna fry my computer i saved up for! any suggestions ect ect would be great thanks!

How are you going to connect the hose to the CPU? I thought it wasn't long enough for a CM Stacker?

S754/S939/S940 mounting kits are the same AFAIK.

You can get it at auto part stores. I believe it is also called tune-up grease. The old use of it was for a points style ingition systems.

I went to Lowes and bought a tube of grease from them for about $5. It's Garder Bender Anti-oxidant compound...the guy told me it was di-electric grease...which it is NOT. This stuff is conductive, so don't let them fool you.

I went to autozone a while back and bought some that actually Permatex di-electric grease. I've been using it without problems.

Few minor troubles i finished the install of the LS (stacker wasn't to big barely) on my LCD screen of the LS its just bright blue... on first start up it said the start up screen LCD and then showed the temp to -10c but when my computer started it just went bright blue.

Heres the computer done. I still have some modding to do I am going to buy another stacker case and basicly join it with this one to make the LS hidden and the LCD screen will stick out of the removable screens. then i plan to stick some LEDs and make some tricked out text :banana:

The Vapochill hose reaches the CPU?? I've been looking for a case...but didn't think it would reach!!
