It lowered my CPU temperature to 41-43 while doing things that pushed it to 79-81 before. I know turning the fan around helped some because it even lowered the temp of the GPU 8 degrees but Arctic Silver must be the shiznit for a 38C degree drop. Thats about 70F. Only time will tell if that was my problem but I'm feeling pretty confident.
it should get even better over time. It needs to settle in to really perform.
