For how long has the paste been applied?

EDIT: I said something stupid so yeah......

I haven't refreshed it since I bought the whole thing. 2 years or so ago.

Anyway I got my pc back from the shop. They applied paste to the CPU and it's steady on 40-45 now but the card has been sent to out of town service since it's still on warranty.

Good to see it's solved.

Sad I have to stay 2 weeks without my card. Cant play anything on this onboard

well when you get it back and start runing things and it still hapens, run a fan on the front of it to try and blow all the heat to the fans in the back. I did this with my 360 and it runs smooth, so im thinking it should help a CP also.
