I've left the t4500 in which is currently at about 45c temp. The thermal compound ive ordered is New 1g Gold Thermal Grease Paste CPU Cool Heatsink Silicone Compound #2, When it arrives I will install it on the heat-sink asap.

The performance is slightly better. I ran x3 rolling demo - before I had avg 36 fps on lowest possible detail (1024x768). Now I can turn the shading up for nicer graphics and get 34 fps which used to get about 24 fps.

Right now CPUID Hardware Monitor is showing my highest temps at 58c and 63c for cores 0 and 1 respectively.

I'm pretty sure you were correct about the thermal throttling.

Everything seems to be working as it should and windows boots quicker now. The fan is constantly on now as I updated some drivers for it, whereas before it would constantly start/stop allowing overheat.

I'll just use my laptop for occasional internet surfing until the thermal paste arrives. When Ive used it I'll post the temp/stability. Hopefully the max temps will be lower then.

Once again, I'm eternally grateful for all support. Cheers :toast:
silicon paste sucks don't use it it will DRY and become useless its also conductive

When I read this I ordered some arctic silver. I applied a half-pea size blob on the cpu and installed the heat-sink and fan. My laptop cpu cores sit at an avg 40c - 45c temperature and below 60c even under load. I adjusted the power settings so that the cpu can use less power if only surfing the net etc.

I just loaded HWMonitor and both cores are at 44c.

Also I have no frame lag now.

Overall it's nice to be able to leave alone now that it works well. Updating the BIOS and using arctic silver are a must for anyone else considering cpu upgrades.

I'll be sure to use this knowledge when I build my gaming pc - already got half the components; Using an am3+ socket board but installing am2+ cpu, as the motheboard bios needs updating for the am3+ cpus.
