    jp, good sir, i will buy and try the arctic silver tomorrow. The heatsink already came with the paste applied to it and yes your right when i was trying to lock it in place i did move it around a lot. Also how come bios and speedfan are saying the cpu fan is spinning 27++ when the highest RPM the fan can go is 2500? Am i reading something wrong?

    yeah all fans are running, according to speedfan speed01 and 02 are 100%, and in bios the cpu fan is running 2766 RPM. i played cod4 for 20 minutes and the temps got up to 56 celsius i have never seen it go up that high..the cooler also comes with mx-1 thermal compound pre applied. I have a q6600, dual 8800gt's running sli. nothing is overclocked all stock speed. If i put the stock heatsink/fan on do i have to reapply thermal paste? or should i just keep the new cooler and use a different type of thermal compound? im thinking of using arctic silver 5. thank you

    I bought a new cpu heatsink/fan for my pc. i bought an arctic cooler freezer 7 pro. for some reason my cpu is running hotter :D when i had the stock hsf on it was running 46 47 48 @ idle and when underload 51 52. now with the new cooler its running 51 52 @ idle. Also my case displays temperatures cpu, hdd, system. my motherboard is a P5N-E SLI. I have two exhaust fans one is 120mm and one 40mm, my intake fans are one 120mm fan and two 40mm fans. any help is greatly appreciated
