Stable Overclock Now Gone Help

[MROBBO]

I had managed a stable overclock on this crap mobo P5N32-E SLI bios Version1203 @3.2Ghz 1425Fsb. My Temps was quite high 60-60-58-58 {Vcore 1.3750} any lower Bsod anyway I thought I would have a spring clean and tidy my wires and give my fans a good clean very dusty,and apply new thermal paste arctic silver 5 I stript the pc down and rebuilt it.
So I booted into vista Bsod!! Huh? looked into the bios still the same settings nothing had changed tryed again and got no luck its been doing my brain in any Ideas?

Arctic Silver 5 takes a few hours to setup completely so it's possible your temps are running a little warmer than they were before. However, this is also assuming you applied it properly and didn't make a mistake during application. Have you tried raising your CPU voltage some to see if your stability comes back? If so, either lower the CPU clocks down until the paste sets up or increase the voltage until it sets up. Either way, it's hard to believe you wouldn't be able to run the same clocks at the same voltage after a minor cleaning. It should all go back to normal soon.

Thanks for the quick reply!
I had placed the thermal past correct read through the arctic webiste
Still new to overclocking, Question what does lapped mean? and how high should I go if I do not reach a stable Oc at 1425Fsb So at the moment I have reduced the FSB 1333=3.0Ghz stable Vcore 1.3250

double check ALL of your connections.chances are you just loosened something up or didnt plug something in all the way.

I followed the directions on the AS website and I still didn't get it right until I learned to use less compound. As little as humanly possible. It made a huge difference! The pictures (particularly the thickness of the line, which corresponds roughly to what comes out of the tube) give the impression that you need 5x the amount of compound than is really appropriate. The people saying that the total volume shouldn't exceed that of a grain of rice are dead-on.

I more than doubled checked its so strange its doing my head in
Currently now stabble 3.00Ghz 1333Fsb but I can not hit my maximum on this board at 1425Fsb, When I hit 3.2 it felt like I won the lotto! If you were stupid enough to have one of these boards you would know what I am on about .

Lapped = rubbing sandpaper all over your HS and CPU

You sand them to ensure a flat good contact between the two. Most HS are ok, but the CPU's are "horribly" concave (most of them).
