^sorry to hijack , but can you over do it with paste? how much do you need of that stuff?
I don't have any paste to apply, but would it cause problems similar to this? Running speedfan it shows Core0 at 81c when its lagging, after I close CounterStrike it goes back down to 52c and then CPU usage on task manager goes back down to 0-2%

If you go any where near 80C you should stop what your doing cos thats when CPU's fry. Me and my mate tried to see what temp and on old athlon 64 would get up to without a heatsink before it fried and it was in the 80s.
I have run a C2D @ 80 deg for ages with no probs.....
If you visit Intels site you will see the MAX temp is 73C, which you should be able to keep it well bellow.
Obv if his Heatsink feel off in transit to a Lan Party he ain't gonna have TIM in his pocket and all the stuff to clean it up and refit.
Get it remounted properly A.S.A.P IMO.
