    I used an Arctic Silver 5 Thermal Compound, 3.5grams to my vga card and it went down 48 temperature of idle from 70 of idle.

    Just used whole arctic sillver thermal compound 3.5 grams to VGA.

    Most impressive thing is even i play cs source for 4 hours it's keep low temperature as

    like 65 with cooling pad.

    :) what are you wating for? just buy it and feed your c90s this one.



    p.s - with arctic siver 5 themal compund, cpu tempercher is 59 at idle.

    will check later that what temperature of saving battery mode.

    I highly doubt your GPU is at 48 at idle unless you just started it up.

    It depends on how efficient the standard Asus thermal interface was. If it wasn't that good, then such a drop is possible. With the addition of the AC5, and a good contact between the heatsink and core, the temperature can be brought down quite a lot.

    Cooling pad?

    48 seems low to me, I was at 50 in idle on a desktop 6600 (they both go in the same temp range) with an aftermarket cooler (Iceberq 5) with case open
