35C sounds like a nice temp as it is. Maybe you need a re-application.

your cpu temp doesn't seem that high, but check the arctic silver site to make sure you applied it properly. About the video card, i think you need the epoxy for that, but i'm not sure.

Also, if you read the fine print, it says AS5 takes like 300 hrs to fully "break-in" and reach its optimum performance.

Interesting i've never read that fine print... so there must be a point where artic 5 breaks down no?.. would anyone know when?
