30 Days after Lapping / Arctic Silver 5 application.

Obligatory video:

Happy to say my idle temps have evened out, between 88-91F (~32C) and the highest temp I've seen lately has been 190F (~88C).

Pretty sure the AS5 has fully cured by now

What were your temps before applying AS5?

I did this once on one of my laptops but the temp difference was only about 5c on idle.

This is in a 78F ambient room, btw.
