It still runs warm around 64 degrees Celsius browsing internet, using excel, and listening to music, and around 75 doing anything involving flash.
I run a lot more than that at a time, which could be the cause of my overheating problem, I would reapply it if I had time, but right now I don't. Thanks for the info though. I think I need to get something to get more air to my computer. Right now it is sitting on a wooden desk surrounded but another computer to one side and a monitor to the other.
