You could use Artic Silver 5. I heard that usually decrease your temp to about 5 Celcius.

yup AS5 is great, hyper 6 with fan, does your case have intakes outakes for air fan wise cos thats a major contributor. and amd stock cooling isnt a joke the stock cooling whihc came with my mates skt939 3500 a64 is exceedingly good for a stock cooler and its near silent. u cant actually hear it unless u stick ur head near it.

Yeah, I think everyone on this forum would recomend AC5. Hybrid recomends another paste which I heard is great, but I forgot what it is called. Maybe he can tell you when he gets on.

ok tanxs and yes i have 3 intake fans and 2 outake plus the 2 fans in my antec psu...

now how can i clean safe the actual thermal paste and put (how many by the way) the artic silver

[Mr. Miyagi 2]

You should use a 99% alcohol solution and use a non-static cloth or swabs. What type of CPU do you have?

The OCZ paste is supposed to be pretty good, but I still go with AS.

Clean it off real good and you'll be good.
