More Information

OK in hopes of getting lower temps,decided to re-apply the thermal paste on my GPU's that are being water cooled with.."Danger Den 8800gtx full Water blocks"
I originaly used the paste and thermal stickies they came with,this was like over a year ago.Now I applied AS5 on the core and Ceramic paste on the memory.I noticed I had put a pretty good amount originally and I went lighter this time around.But now my temps are 8dg higher.Did I mess up on the application or will the temps drop over time.

i think you might have needed to apply therman paste. It makes all the difference in the world. Make sure you cleared the previous glue that was stuck on the GPU before applying new paste.

Hmmm... souds like there is not so good contact in someplase. The contact surfase is not allways completely flat.

Agree, sounds like you may have left some of the old paste/sticky stuff on by accident.  However, yes AC5 will lower in temp after time, but I don't think it would be that many degrees.
