Hi I have recently installed an Arctic Cooler to my 6800GT. Since then I have experienced some graphics "lag" kind of weird skipping, while playing CS. I haven't tested it with any other games since I don't play much else. My question is when you install it do you just apply the thermal paste to the GPU or to the ram aswell? I only applied to the GPU and the ram it said on the instructions was to be left and covered by the thermal pads already installed on the heat sink its self.

Now the graphics "lag" or skipping I have getting recently also coincides with the installation of anti virus programs and other programs that could be causing it, I just wanted to make sure I had installed the cooler correctly. It appears I have, temperatures have dropped on the card.

Thanks,

Majik
