The temp drop came from the cleaning and reseating the HS. Dont think that the AS5 gave you that big drop in temps. It may have helped it by 1-2° but thats about it.
 
hey...i didnt notice your case earlier but is your case the black x-pider case? I have the same one if u do. I broke the door on mine tho :(. I also lost the keys for it but my dad has the other set at his house and me afraid to ask for it.
 
yay .. I'm not the only one with dust covering the bottom of my case :D
 
It makes good sense to at least every 3 months to give the inside and out a good clean up. As long as it is done correctly of course.

I made sure that all the ribbons were twisted, all the dust was removed and an extra exhaust was added just the other day.

My PC feels very cold still and with a little bios changing can get 15% more speed out of my processor. I got the speed of 1.75 from 1.5 without frying the chip!

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
