Temp increases when swapping motherboard

[The Last MeMe]

I swapped my motherboard today and my CPu temps have jumped about 7 degrees C. I am not really sure if this is because the paste needs time to seat or what but this is concerning because i upgraded my paste to Arctic silver 5 too so i should have seen a decrease in temps... Its the same water cooling block and stuff so i dont know if i maybe used too little paste or not. Probably about a little smaller than a pea

Never really got a straight reply and i messed the thread by selecting good answer by accident.

AS5 takes awhile to settle in. Tinting helps reduce that time. AS5 manual tells you that and so will website manual. 

 

AS5 is kind of overrated now. People just say AS5 cus people always said AS5 back in the day. Mx-4 and Noctua grease are both better and Noctua is prob sweet spot for performance/price.

 

AS5 can be worse then budget stuff without tinting at first though.

 

No I am not saying buy new paste. Tint it like the manual tells you. Use line method like the manual tells you and it is fine. 3 degrees is about the max swing on these greases from worst to best.

Would you suggest if my temps dont decrease to like 27 degrees (what i was getting before) in the next like three days i remove and re-apply the paste? What other pastes would you recommend for a liquid cooler?

Yes wait for it to settle a bit.

 

If not? If you have extra paste reapply it, with a tint on the copper (follow the pictured instructions) and a bb sized dot in the middle of the cpu.

 

AS5 is in no way bad. Mx-4 might be a whole degree better. It is definitely not worth buying more paste.

Do you think the temps will drop back to normal?
