      Does thermal paste really loose effecitvness over time? I understand this is kind of an extreme, but I would that that if the hsf is securely connected that it would not loose any effectiveness...

        Yeah Wiggo could be right...standard white goo and the original Arctic Silver do tend to "crystalise" over time and need replacing.....or it could just be that you processor is starting to suffer some electromigration..in other words it might be on its way out.....or the fsb increase is taking its toll on some other components...more likely this is the case from my experience...

        Try the new grease and clean the hsf and the rest to get rid of the dust that attaches itself to everything...hot northbridges tend to cause instability too...

          Every 4 weeks I dust out my pc and that includes removing the HSF to get all the dust out of it and reapplyin' fresh paste. ;)
