I squeezed a bit of AS5 on centre of my e6600 c2d, and i got one of those thermalright ultra-120 heatsinks sat on it which i find quite troublesome to keep still until you get at least one screw in, anyway i visited arctic's website to now find out that they recommend you put a small strip of AS5 on dual core intel cpu's and not a blob in the centre. So i got 200 hours to see the final cool results
