With the INTERNAL radiator, doesn't this just dump the heat from the CPU back into the case?

No if you have a casing with a vent at the top of the 5.25 bay eg Thermaltake level 10 full tower

The stuff conducts heat real well. Modern day CPU chips get HOT and you want to take that heat away as fast as you can. Manufacturers devised special tops to lay on top of the CPU chips to radiate the heat away. Some of these coolers (heat sinks) even have fans built into them. But ... to get the heat transferred from the CPU chip to the cooler you need this paste that helps increase the surface contact between the chip and the cooler. If this is a new build and the CPU and cooler have never been used before you just have to apply it. If either the CPU or the cooler have been used it is advisable to clean off the surface as well as you can. The shinier the better. Be sure to use an anti-static strap when handling the CPU chip. They are susceptible to even small amounts of static electricity. I used rubbing alcohol and lots of Q-Tips when I cleaned by cooler. I suggest you go to You-Tube and search there for videos on how best to apply the thermal compound. They have lots of them there. One thing I didn't see there that should be mentioned is thermal cycling the computer after the compound has been applied. In other words - run the computer as you normally would for an hour - then power it down for an hour. Repeat this at least 4-5 time letting the on time interval increase by 30 minutes each time. This heating and cooling allows the thermal compound to work it's way into the two joined surfaces.

I wanted to have this push air out of the enclosure, so I simply unscrewed the fans and flipped them over then simply screwed the fans back. It is very simple and works. I use it and I havent had a problem. It actually pulls alot of air through the enclosure that I have my CPU tower in. Keeps it cooler.

It does. It's just the small aluminum orb that Intel has used for several years. At stock speed the g1620 hardly gets over 40c with the stock heat sink in a mini-itx setup.

Yes, it come with thermal paste. You must check the deep and internal space of your case.

the cooling package is self contained in the CPU cooling fan is what I suspect. Mine stays way cooler than a non cooled CPU. You can check the HP web site for more info.

The power supply was on the top of the case. I fried my computer with this case and then went online to Amazon and bought an NZXT Phantom 410 case (after a lot of research) and my heating problems were over:) I have an AMD FX6100 six core CPU with 16GB of DDR3 1600mhz RAM, an AMD M5A99x-EVO MB, and an NVidia 560Ti video card. The Logisys 368 case could not keep it cool. The NZXT case was worth the extra $. Hope this helps!

You would need to disconnect it inside the case, and I would not recommend it, as heat is a major cause of early drive failure.

No but I installed the Corsair H80i Hydro Cooler & I had to remove the heatsink casing from the memory in the first socket.

No it is just the processor. However, I would not use a stock heat sink on this processor anway. You are better off buying an Artic Cooler for about $30.

No forget any type of water cooling unless you want to mod the case and run it from the outside.

yes.the stock cooler is not enough for the job. and the CPU wull shut down due to over heating.better to get an after market cooler

Yes...If it's described as a retail processor it comes with a heat sink fan.
1842339
Yes. The thermal paste is preapplied on the heatsink (with cooling fan attached).

You need a heatsink+fan for the CPU, it will definitely fail under load and/or melt. The main thing is the heatsink, which should have come with your CPU. If you are just trying to eliminate fans, you can maybe get away with removing the fan from the heatsink but that is unlikely I would guess, unless it is a very nice aftermarket heatsink.

Yes... but I'd recommend replacing it. The thermal paste is on the stock cooler. It comes in three thick bands with gaps in between them. I'd recommend at least spreading these out to cover the entire CPU before installing. I removed the stock paste completely and went with my own application to ensure even coverage.

you apply it to the cpu processor. It goes in between the processor and the cooler to dissipate heat evenly :) I usually use something very flat edged and apply a VERY THIN AND EVEN COAT.
