I think if you take off the heatsink and see a AS3 footprint on it, then the core is making contact with the heatsink...if not then clear up and reapply I guess.

Paper thin is all you need...too much will just hamper heat transfer and make a big mess.

I guess I have enough then ... I dont wanna remove it cuz cleaning up is a pain in the ***.

On the site (AS) it said, that its going to take 72 to 200 hours to achive the maximum of AS3 ..is that so ?? does that means that the temps going to drop even more after that period ?

Thanks for help.

I think during that time the silver particles settle down and you should see a 1-4C drop in temps.
