I been having anxiety attacks and rage fits over this because I hate when things don't work properly (OCD 
). so two weeks ago I bought a new HSF which had preloaded paste along with the small amount I had left on the processor. Worked really well clocking in at 27c. Last night everything was starting to fail and malfunction. My temps were 60c so I figured "oh, I better clean and reapply thermal grease!". I opened up my box, removed the HSF and I noticed the little bit of grease on the processor I had was damn near dried up. I bought some new grease to try since I was given a little bit of spending money before Christmas. This grease is called "Halnzyine". Cleaned the processor,case,HSF with canned air as the usual maintenance goes. Applied Grease, put everything back,hooked it all up. Normally I get 27c-35c on idle. I checked the temps again and it's sitting at 50c,but changes from that to 47c and goes up to 59c and then back down to 50 again.I won't try running a game because I'm don't know how it will handle that.
I checked every bloody forum topic here based on this and I've reseated,reapplied,recleaned 4 times and still no change. I am using the Rosewill Challenger (I think) case and equipped with 1 front fan,1 tops fan, 2 side fans,back fan and one on the power supply. The cooler is new and don't know the name. Starting to wonder that this is junk grease I never had this happen on this box and frustrated beyond belief! I don't want to wreck the processor but starting to just say "well **** it." but is there anything I missed? What do I do? Thanks for taking the time to read this and I hope someone can lend a helping hand here. Thank you.
UPDATE: huh? Well this is weird. I had to go to a friends house to have a holiday drink. Shut down the PC and booted it up again when I came back the temps are now running in the 30s range! Glad to see that but it marks a question. I know Arctic Silver 5 takes time for the process to sit and/or cure (Approx. 8 hours?..read that somewhere) but seeing how this grease is silver does this have a "Sit" time too? Don't get me wrong I am glad it appears to be keeping the PC in the 30's range when opera is loaded or when playing a low cpu demanding game. What do you guys/gals think?
