Hey Steemians, I hope you are well. I went the Pentium G4400 for its efficiency and price of less than 50 euro on average. It also comes with a stalk intel cooler, which is more than enough.

Luckily the fan came with thermal paste already spread on it:

Installing the CPU was straightforward as ever, the corner with the visible triangle set in correct place:

Followed by a fitting of the case and setting the lever under the array to lock it in place:

The fan legs just popped into the motherboard and the rotated 90 degrees to the left for a lock on their hinges and then I plugged in the fan to the appropriately named plug:
