Should not have opened it. Its better to just take the $130 up the ass (if your warrenty is out) then have to pay for a new box just becuase you though one of the fixes would work.

He means the TIM, thermal interface compound... the "goop" that goes between a heatsink and chip to help transfer heat.
The good stuff is called Arctic Silver 5, check Newegg.com. You can get it pretty much anywhere online.
