Core i7/X58 Overclocking Thread

I was a bit worried that I originally put too much thermal paste. I applied a layer to the entire cpu and spread another layer onto the bottom of my Thermalright Ultra-120. Did I overdo it? Could this be why my idle temps are about 43-45*C and not in the high 30's?

That seems like a lot of paste. Just a dot in the center and then let the weight of the Heatsink spread it out. Good luck OC'ing!

Also you could lap your True 120 and run a second fan (if you don't already).http://www.overclockersclub.com/guides/lapping/
