    Great temps!
    Why do you want a better thermal solution? if you have an XM CPU I can understand that, but why do you want to improve the already great temps?
    Be very careful when applying the Ultra liquid, also if I were in your place I'd take out the CPU/GPU and apply outside of the computer.

    Those temps are very good. What are they on 100% load and what is your ambient room temperature?

    Those are really good temps. The only temperature you have to worry for CPU are 85+ and 80+ for the GPU.

    As long as they are below those you don't have to worry.

    At least 6 months I would say. I am using Coollaboratory liquid ultra on both CPU and GPU. CPU recently upgraded, so can't tell how long it will last there, but graphics card has a fresh paste job done around 6 months ago and still going strong.
