That stuff is like putty. My application sucked so that's why my temps are not as great as they should be (but they're a lot better than my TR Ultra120).

The dab and squish method.

Can anyone say HOLY S**T NVIDIA?!?!

Got my temp monitors in today. Attached them to CPU, NB, Back of GPU, RAM, PWM Heatsink, and Watertemp.
Under Prime95 load:
CPU Socket (Physical): 62C
NB: 100+C
GPU Back: 33C
RAM: 42C
PWM: 68C
Watertemp: 33C

EDIT:
Everest Readings (Winbond):
47-51C Core0-3
40C CPU
38C Motherboard
38C GPU

Once you get good cooling on them, those G92 cores can run very cool. RivaTuner has my 8800GT @ 700 at 29-30C idle/36-38C load (20-21C ambient) on a Swiftech MCW60.

The NB reading seems mighty hot. I assume that's on air?

Yeah, the NB is on air. My GTS is rather cool, idling at 35C or so. It's just my NB that's the problem. I need to pick up a Swiftech MCW30 soon.
