I'm gonna be using artic silver on my new 1700+ tbred that im getting this week and i've heard that it takes 70 some hours for it to fully settle. I was wondering if it would make any difference if I overclocked my processor a little and ran burn in tests with 100% cpu usage. Would this reduce the time it would take to settle.
