I just built myself a high-end system. It's AMD X2 5600+ with 4GB RAM, Nvidia 8800 GTX video card, and 500 GB HDD.
I had been using a rather cheap (~$25) heatsink until now. I decided to overclock and so I got $75 Zalman CNPS9500 AM2 heat-sink and some artic silver 5.
I put the system together yesterday around 5 and let the burn-in test run for about 3 hours. I was able to overclock the CPU by 7-8%.
My question: how long should I wait before trying to overclock again? I read some place that termal paste takes a while to settle down between the CPU and the heatsink, so that had me wondering.
