Ok so im running a 6700k at stock speeds with a Hyper212 Evo cooling it.
I recently had to replace my mobo(RMA) and in the process I decided to try some Arctic Silver 5 thermal paste as I found some I bought a while back and wanted to see if it would give me better temps than the standard coolermaster stuff that came with the 212 Evo.
After stress testing with Aida64 (Stress CPU and Stress FPU selected) average temps seem to have gone up about 10 degrees (interestingly the mobo temp went up 4 degrees as well) from my previous tests.
I know Arctic Silver is meant to have a "setting in" period but is this to much of an increase ? also if I need to reapply thermal paste should I switch back to the paste that came with my heatsink ?
Thanks in advance
