Re: finaly finished my W/C
that thermal paste is extremely thick, I have a Q6600 right here w/ a Koolance 330 block and im pulling 20c idle 32c load.

Try using a razer blade to smooth out the thermal paste into an ultra thin layer.

also the best thermal paste to use on a water cooling setup is Arctic Silver Ceramique. Arctic Silver 5 takes for ever to cure on water blocks, AS5 is designed for air coolers where the vibration cures the paste over 200 operating hours and drops the temp by 12c. Ceramique does not need to cure.

Oh and I must say that is one sexy system!
