well here is the situation. I went from 50*c load with non lapped CPU and non-lapped Zalman 9500 with cheapo silver thermal paste. Switched to Lapped CPU, lapped Big Typhoon, Modded the Typhoon with Antec tri-cool fan(80CFM vs. stock 54CFM) and AS5. Load temps are 46-47 now. I should see a WAY better temp drop. I think maybe I put too much AS5 on.
It has not cured yet, but I should still have seen much better drops. what consistancy is AS5 supposed to be? I think mine might be too thick. It's so thick it is hard to spread a thin layer. Almost like it's a little dried out.
EDIT:
O.K. re-seated everything and same temps still. Are these seriously the right temps? Everyone said the Big Typhoon at stock was better than the Zalman! I even lapped everything and modded a better fan on the Typhoon! And only got a 4*c drop? I don't know what to do now. I think I might lap my Zalman and mod a bigger fan on that.
