Holy $#1T holystarlight - you don't hang around do you!

That drop in temps was quick too... It's taken me about 20 hours "burning in" time to see a drop in my temp. Perhaps your original mount was not good? Those temps you had did sound a bit hot to start with.

Good to hear it did the trick anyway!

If you're lucky you might see a further drop as your thermal paste cures.
