How do you know that thermal grease wasn't absolute crap? Did you also try it on an AMD processor? I can't see why for some odd reason and intel processor would somehow intelligently choose to overheat itself on anything lower than the best thermal grease. This topic is just a stupid intel-bashing piece of worthless crap. Nothing about it is true, it makes no sense, and the author is blatantly lieing.
Yea I put some thermal grease on my 3000+ and it started idling at 80C. Once I put the AS5 on then it cooled down to 21C, but apparantly AMD processors are so stuck-up they only take the good stuff and purposely overheat on ya if you give them anything less.
Wish my damn processors weren't so picky, and they only drink spring water too!
