Normal
Got the motherboard, memory and the APU delivered, will try to benchmark the power consumption. The stock cooler comes with thermal paste preinstalled, I heard it's of dubious quality but I'll be ditching this cooler in a matter of days so I guess it works. The design of the stock cooler is terrible. I tried two orientations and it either interferes with the VRM heatsink or one of the memory slots, so running half memory for now. Worst of all it's not even the fan casing itself but the AMD logo protrusion, purely decorative. The bottom of the radiator also seems dangerously close to the VRM chokes to my taste but there is still a small gap.Apparently I can't upload images yet so here it goes
