After a busy week, I finally got around to buying some Arctic Silver 5 to use on my new Dell system that fails the Prime95 torture test. I plan to start by using it on the heat sink that came with the system, but I'm a little apprehensive. The AS5 instructions point out that a processor can damage itself very quickly if it doesn't have proper cooling. How much of a risk am I taking by doing this? Are there any hidden snags that could leave me with a dead chip that I'll have to pay for myself? And can anyone recommend some good online guides for this sort of task?
