Man this is great. I just looked at my temps which I havnt looked at for a few days. They use to be 35idle but now its only 31. When I saw that it brought a :) to my face. I guess it jsut needed some time to conform to the heatsink and cpu. And its doing its job now. :clap: :clap: .



PEACE
 
as does has a 'burn in' period, where over the first several weeks of use temeratures will gradually drop (usually around 2-5 degrees total)
 
Naw pretty sure its the arctic silver. It's ALWAYS hot as a B!@$! in my room. Ofcourse I get the room thats the hottest ;) . But either way I'm happy.

I usually see an imediate drop after applying AS5. After it gets its time, then I see a deg. or two more.
 
The feeling of going from a stock heatsink to a miss-placed XP120 to a properly placed XP120 is even better. :clap:
