OK, so I was fed up with my 8800GT overheating (90C+) so Grizz hooked me up with some AS5 to re-apply the compound.

I cleaned up all the old stuff, then removed the thermal pads for the mem chips, and added the AS5 sparingly to all contacts. I don't spread my compound, instead the mem chips all got a small dab and the GPU got an even criss cross of compound.

I booted up, and now my idle temp is higher than before (65C) but my load temp never breaks 80C, seems weird to me, any insight?

Reapply and remount.
