I just had scare here. I took off the heatsink and decided to put on some AS5 for the core and AS ceramique for the memory. A very thin layer was put on for everything. Afterwards I booted up and my idle has risen to 65 C, and full looad on rthdribl is 100C
I quickly shut the comp off and checked over the videocard. It turns out the core and some memory chips, particular the 2 right above the core is barely touching the heatsink with just a thin layer of thermal paste. A thicker layer of AS5 was put on and now my temps dropped to 51 idle, 68 load. Just waiting for AS5 to cure now.
