arctic silver curing time?

[UriA702]

I just applied some arctic silver compound and noticed that my temperatures actually went up a few degrees. is there any curing time where i will notice a significant drop in temperature? its only 2-3 degrees higher. is there any curing rise?

I think it's about a week +/-

Not sure you should see a rise though?

took me about 1.5-2 weeks until i seen a drop in temperatures... for a couple of hours i did see a 1-2 degree increase in core temps

I saw a decrease in temperature on my Cpu as soon as i put the arctic silver thermal paste on this being because i used some cheap stuff that came with the cpu that hardly worked at all.

it has allways dropped my temps as soon as i applied it.... as long of you used the proper ammount of artic silver on your cpu, then give it a week... Artic silver is the best you can buy...
