On stock and after market: At first I didn't install the heatsink and fan that came packaged with my XP 2800+. I installed an after market one. When I started having some temp issues I noticed the stock heatsink sitting to the side and how much bigger it was than the aftermarket one. I decided to try the stock one. My temps went up 4 degrees. I put the after market one back on.
I'd like to know more about this "special" alcohol (or is just plain ole isopropyl OK?). When I changed heatsinks back and forth I just wiped the excess arctic silver off with a paper towel and put some more on. Everything still works fine.
