He only used the spread method with the crap silicon paste. How come not the arctic silver? Probably because it works fine LOL.

It was quite a bit the cpu was in its socket so couldnt get it on pins... I cleaned up all residue.

Ok, I wanted to wait till this morning and see what it would do when the room is cool.. it is 76f in the room and CPU is running 38c when basic stuff running to include me on internet... Is this still to hot... One yea.... and i will remove cooler verify all my paste using the proper spread technique not demonstrated on video using artic silver...
If that doesnt work I will swap out coolers with OEM I7 running stock numbers and see if I might have a bad cooler.. We will see more to come.. Thanks

If ambient temperatures change the CPU temp this much, it means the case airflow is insufficient.
Umm his ambient temp was 20 degree's hotter before, I think thats gonna have an affect on case temps and CPU temps.

you need to ventialte your room better!
Clearly because you can get decent temps with the setup you have now, it isn't your rig or the cooler causing the issue. Maybe get an AC unit or simply move the case to a smaller rook, or, you said that that particular room gets most of the sun, get some light curtains/blinds and that will block the light and heat right out when you are using your computer.
With the thermal paste, each to their own, but I have always put on a little blob in the centre of my chip then whacked my heatsink straight on, never have i had overheating, except when with a small overclock on stock HS+fan, but that is expected, with after market heatsink though, nothing wrong, so it works just fine without spreading

Yep, it was the room temp.. It got a little hotter today so I turned on AC down to a cool 76F and clocked the comp up to 3.4 and ran prime 95 for about two hours (i know it should run longer) at full stress the temps where 72C...I will run prime over night with the cool temps and see what it handles... Thanks for all the insight and suggestions...
Maybe, but just don't know if that is neccesary.

At the bottom right of that page it shows an i7 with its heatspreader on and off, and you can see that the cores are only right in the centre - directly where you would put the paste with the line method (also demonstrated on that picture).
Not sure what CPUs you guys are talking about, but I think that arctic silver guide I linked shows information and diagrams for all of them. Go back to Step 1 of that guide to select an AMD.
