How long is the curing period for AS5 and what kind of temp drops should I expect after its done breaking in?

I just got a mobile barton and its running a bit hot for my taste. I had it at 2500 (12.5x200) at 1.78 volts and it was running 58C at full load and around 53C at idle. I'm using a SK7 with a 2500rpm fan on a NF7-S v2

the site says 200 hours. you should notice 3 degrees drop full load at least after 1 night. that's the difference i got after the first 24 hours passed.

I think your temp is a little bit high, but it is right.
I got almost the same setup as you have, except for the processor, I got a XP 1700+ @ 2.2 Ghz, vcore 1,60.
But my temps during the Summer with a room temp of 28ºC I get about 48ºC running 24/7, full load, running UD here.
Maybe changing the fan will drop a little bit the temp.

If by curing, you mean how long will it take to set or harden...it won't. It is not an adhesive...it doesn't set.

Those temps should be fine because of the low fan speed my aeroflow @1.8V gets 54C load
