sorry for the delay
i'm in europe, it took a long time to get the arctic silver 5.

half an hour ago my temps were: 50c idle, 75c loaded

my new temps are: 35c idle, 45c loaded !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

now i dont know what the hell solved this, maybe its the magical arctic silver 5...

but this time i used alcohol to clean off the zalman greese (looked the same to me when i cleaned it without the alcohol)...

also there is still a slight chance that the mounting was not right... (even though i installed it like 5 times...)

now i'm not taking off the heatsink anymore!!! finally its working... it took me a month of nightmares...

thanks everybody for all the great help...
