hello all thanks for looking,
I took out my BFG 6600gt Apg today to clean it, the fan was very dusty. So i get the fan cleaned and almost all the dust of out the fan.
Now i decided to replace the heatsink, i whiped out the stock heatsink that came with the 6600gt and put a very thin layer of arctic silver 5 on the core of the 6600gt.
Now my issue, when i load into bf2 in about 5 to 60 seconds the computer locks up this didnt happen before i cleaned the videocard.
Now after i did this i was looking to see if i could use arctic silver 5, i seen a few fourms where they said you could only use a special heatsink for videocards.
Please help any advice would be helpfull.
