Click to expand... When I had said 10 in my earlier post, it was "10 and 12" as in those were my my respective cores, not the actual CPU xD. Sorry if I worded it weird so you t hought it was the whole CPU, lol.

The paste is non conductive so its nothing to worry about but make sure not too much is applied. Click to expand... Arctic Silver 5 is conductive. The fact that silver is in the title should give it away.
