| Just glad you didn't overheat the CPU doing this "test"!!!
There's a reason why Arctic Silver is so well known with such a good rep!
If you used the Silver paste, don't expect good results for about 3 days or so
because it takes a bit for it to setup.
But once it does you'll be happy with the end result of temps.
Now that mine has setup all the way my high Load temps are 20F lower than when I first applied it.
