artic silver settling times?
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.

If it has arctic silver already then you can overclock as you wish.

To answer the question, no, I don't think it will make a difference in setting time, and it's only going to drop the temps maybe 2 degrees when it's set anyway.

I haven't been to AS's site to confirm, but I read somewhere that they (AS) say the time is 72 - 100 hours. Personally, it doesn't make a diff to me as I do not change any habits whether I'm using a pad or AS on a particular build.
