I got some silver 5 TP and a northbridge cooler, I think its called the Blue Ice or something by coolermaster. The temp has decresed about 11C in the n-bridge! I also put the thermal paste on my GPU and CPU, not much of a dif for the CPU only about 1-2C and the same for the GPU. I was afraid of messing up the system by smearing the paste around but its fine. My comp still freezes though, but the beeping comes from the speakers, I still suspect the X-fi. Should I put thermal paste on the x-fi heatsink???
