well i just re did the artic silver 5 application and remounted the waterblock. temps are still as high as they were before and i definately put significantly less arctic silver and i followed the directions carefully.

maybe i'm expecting temps to be better than they can be? i thought with water cooling i'd have the temps down close to ambient (75F, 23.8 C). right now idle i'm still getting 28C-29C.... which considering the ambient temp i thought might be high.
