[QUOTE="Vasudev, post: 696784, member: 30411"] Hmm, I didn't say the PC was overheating after repaste but I was unhappy about the temps reaching 80C on gaming. It took some effort and I lapped the HSF to get perfect contact, used a surface method of TIM suggested by der8auer and got some tips from Overclockers like Mr. Fox, Papusan, iunlock, Mobius 1, judal57.
