[quote=“Viper966,post:6,topic:33648"”] i jused the tape that came on my AMD, and its holding steady @ 32 degrees C [/quote] Just out of curiosity, which processor are you using? I have an AMD x2 5600 with a huge HS fan w/ Artic Silver and normally run anywhere from 35c-44c. ---

[quote=“RobHimself,post:9,topic:33648"”] use toothpaste, it will work the same, look it up [/quote] I thought you were full of it so I did indeed look it up and low and behold: [http://www.dansdata.com/goop.htm](http://www.dansdata.com/goop.htm) Apparently diaper rash cream works even better. However I don’t think it’s a permanent solution, because doesn’t toothpaste cause corrosion over time? Anyways, I think I have some paste down here in the lab somewhere. You can PM or AIM me if you want me to look for it.
