Hey, I bought Arctic Silver 5 and applied it on my i7 2600k Sandy Bridge. Before I was getting 95C playing Battlefield 4 (stopped as soon as I found out, hadn't played a demanding game in a while). Now, I get 68-73C with a 65% load on CPU. However, I had hoped it would be less than that. I also cleaned my whole computer with compressed air, specifically the CPU fan. It has been 2 days since I applied thermal paste and the computer has been on for about 20 hrs. So, is 70C respectable or did I apply thermal paste wrongly?
