I have orderd Arctic silver 5 i should be here tomorrow (i hope it wacks the xx°C right down) i also wanted to know whats the best way to apply arctic silver 5 i usually spread thermal compound with a card but i heard with arctic silver 5 you put a small line and put the heatsink on or a small pea size then put the heat sink on i dunno theres alot of arguments on the internet how to apply thermal compound
i was also thinking of cutting a hole on top of it and having a corsair 7200rpm fan blowing in the ps3 fan but i need advice to see if thats safe
thanks guys i have had loads of phat ps3s before and they all died of over heating
