So I finally got around applying AS5 to the GPU and ceramique to the ram.

Here's a picture:

How did I do?

Here's the back of the inside (nothing special):

I'll post temps later.

I have question: The thermal pads in the back I left alone, since they didn't have any paste on them or any ram modules protruding out. Should I have done anything to those pads for a leadtek 6800? I should have taken a picutre, but I hope anyone that owns a LEADTEK 6800 can answer. Also, how tight should the screws in the back be?
 
Update:
So I've been watching my temps closely since I've applied AS5 and Ceramique. The new temps are more than before.

Original: 56-58 idle, 62-65 load
Now: 59-60 idle, 65 load

Playing games is pretty much the same, except it's always 65c, my idle went up by 2 degrees.

I also noticed that the leadtek fan only spins up when i'm watching a movie or playing a game. The fan stays in low speed when running programs likerthdribl.exe. Thats why my idle temps are so high too.

Idle when doing nothing: 58-60c
Watching a movie: 52-53c
Non graphical main menu of a pc game: 53c

Is there any way to keep the fan in highspeed?
