It's true that Artic Silver 5 sticks to everything. You just can't ever get rid of that greyish tint even after cleaning where you're spilled some for several minutes.

I guess that's another reason why the Zalman paint-on compound is a very good choice for beginners.

Thats pretty cool, what heat sink do you use?

BTW is that under load or when you are idle?

I use a tt blue orb in my 939 machine 28-31
In my AM2 machine I use a ac 64pro and get about the same temps.

98.6 is mostly when I am idle, because I dont like to be under load unless I am getting rid of a load. ;)
