i just recently took off all the factory thermal goop off my hsf and tested to see what temps i would get it sat around 30/50 idle without it so then i got thinking what might work in place of it and came accross the idea of tin foil my buddy runs a flat penny so i thought what the hell i will try tin foil so i cut a square of heavy duty foil and attached it between hs and cpu shiny side up of course, now my temps are 29/42 using mbm5 and it has been on for 2 days straight, i have seen it go to 30/51 after playing gta3 for 3 hours but have to say im impressed at what a little piece of tin foil can do.
