when i first put on the paste to my p4 3.2 it sat idle at 26 degrees and around 36 load, i overclocked it to around 3.8 and it ran sweet for ages. the other day i tried it at 3.2 again and im getting 30 idle and 50 load. at 3.4g's i get the same temp, its not until i go around the 3.6 mark the idle and load temps rise a good bit. i was just wondering would it be a good idea to clean the cpu and apply new paste
