I took the stock fan off of my video card, cleaned off the paste that was on there and put on some Arctic Silver 5. Runs about 5 degrees cooler, I'd say the stuff works pretty well.

AS5 no question....yet to put any on my CPU at present. Just make sure you buy thermal compound and not permanent stuff. A few ppl have made that mistake....
