Aigomorla - I think I did put a little too much AS5 the first time but it did not spill out to the sides.
I still applied it to both the cpu and hsf but put on less this time around. I'm certainly not complaining but was just curious why it did what it did.
Thanks all for your help...
So I went back and took everything apart. I did install the hsf backwards so air was actually blowing into the case rather than out the back. I cleaned off the artic silver and re-applied it to both the cpu and heatsink. I also discovered that the hsf was not completely attached to the mobo...

yeah....I just started playing COD and it seems like a fun game to play with a group of people. Well, if anyone is interested in playing for fun, let me know and we could possibly start a small clan.
Question for all who have more than 1 vid card in their system:

I highly recommend the Logitech z-560. I just picked up one for myself and they're amazing for the price! I've read so much about them in the various forums so I checked them out at a local computer store to hear how it sounds. The sound was crisp and clear. The bass is incredible too! I am...
