My temp keep dropping...

[Gamingphreek]

I had stock cooling about 1 month ago and was idling around 63C. So i upgrade to an SLK-947U with a Panaflo fan and my temps dropped to 56C. i was somewhat disappointed. Now however, they just keep falling day by day, it is now at 48C and my roomm temp is probably around 78F. Is this because the thermal grease is starting to act at peak performance? If not why?

(I can only imagine at winter when my house is ~68F. My computer should idle around 39 then 🙂 )

That could be the reason

Makers of Arctic Silver says it can after lots of hours later.

if you read on the artic silver site.. there is a thing called a "break in period" where you turn your computer off after using it for a while and turn it back on after a while of it being off after you have just applied a new heatsink or new paste. This could be the reason why.
