    Is it true that when u apply thermal paste (arctic silver 5) it has to break in for about 200 hours for best performance.

    And after those 200 hours do the temps drop a little more (COOLING WISE) or do they stay the same?


    :) THX EVERYONE IN ADVANCE :)

    Yes.

    Arctic Silver's own site cites it: http://www.arcticsilver.com/as5.htm

    The RMclock does it have any side effects to it like: loss of performance, bsod, or anything of that nature.

    Maybe some good links to step by step guides would help me through this.

    THANKS IN ADVANCE :)
