Performance and Closer Look

As far as testing I used AIDA64 to load the CPU for 5 min. I never noticed any temperature increase after this amount of time. So I stuck with this threshold on all the paste I tested. I used the cleaning wipes in between each test. Ambient temps were at 72 +-1 degrees Fahrenheit.
