Well, does the heatsink touch anything else?

What brand is your card?

On my Xfx, I have one heatsink that covers the GPU and one that covers the AGP bridge. They don't touch anything else, so nothing else needs paste.

It is best to use artic silver alumina adhesive to sink bga ramsinks on your memory. If you dont want it to be permanent in nature, you can mix the alumina adhesive with some artic silver ceramique.

i have said it before, and i will say it agian. AS5 does nothing....did nothing for me at all...on my GPU and my CPU. temps are exactly the same. its a gimmic, and yes i applied correctly to the T. just leave the stock paste on there.

hey jtracc20 are you getting the numbers in your sig(for the vid card)using the stock cooler? I have the exact same card and haven't really gotten to crazy with it yet cuz of crappy case cooling . . . getting some different case fans however so that should change.
