bought most of my stuff new, except for the extras. my video card runs the game like a champ so i wont be replacing that until i need to.

Semp, you were right, didnt think i had that much wrapped up in this 

Well nothing in a tube lasts forever but AS5 isn't like say caulk. Keep the cap on it of course. I've had a tube for a couple of years in a cool place and just used the last of it on this current build. I think it says in the application guide that you can keep it in the fridge and it'll keep longer.

Also get the smallest tube you can find. I got the teeny one at a Radio Shack for around $11. Since you're only using a tiny dot at a time that should last you quite a while.

exactly why i was asking, newegg has it for 11.99.

nice puter.  i am thinking of replacing my tempest, but the damn thing dont give me a reason to do it.  I got it from TD a couple of years ago and it hasnt let me down, talking from the cooling point of it.  any case will last forever, but a case that cools your system and lasts forever not sure if it's a plus  .

I crank all my fans up on my phantom and my cpu temp drops 1 degree... for 5 or 10 minutes then it warms up again (probably because the heatsink isn't working as hard)

I think you just set up your cpu cooler, it takes about 2 weeks for the paste to set.  so you will be seeing lower temps coming up.  also  what are the temps on your cpu right now?

I'm looking 28-30 C right now, if i turn all my fans up ill be between 25 and 27 C.

dude you know that is awesome temps right?  you get it any cooler than that and your cpu wont work due to ice crystals forming  .  antyhing below 50 is great.
