Ok, after having the computer off for more than 12 hours, the temps hasnt changed. I think it hasnt yet. The temp reading on the BIOS was at 50*C!!! and Mobo temp was at 28*C. How can this be possible?
thats because the CPU needs to be on, preferably under load, for the thermalpaste to achieve nirvana.
i reseated mine last night, i used a very thin line of paste across the processor. seems to be running cooler than it was.
btw, your nail polish remover, does it contain oil? the oil is usually there for fragrance and that can affect the temp.
also when you apply the thermal paste, make sure you apply like this:

this was actually taken from a source but im not sure if i can post links to other sites here. you dont need to spread it out urself as well. just put HS and apply enough pressure to spread it out.
and make sure u dont have any substance or particles on the HS and CPU before applying paste. THAT INCLUDES YOUR FINGERPRINT!
LOL. but cant u just cusstom add the the fans into your armor? that piece is pretty pricey.
i thought the armor has adequate air flow thanks to the 'vent' design.
