Decided to try the small blob in middle of CPU method and my temp actually went up to 45c when idle, decided to cover the entire CPU in a thin layer and now i'm sitting at 39/40c idle.

Will my idle temp actually come down a little once it's cured? takes around 200 hours apparently.
 
I don't have exposed heat pipes, i have redone it again and just coated the bottom of the heat sink. The temp is the same as coating the entire cpu but this is less messy. Maybe when i did the blob on the middle of the cpu it wasn't quite covering all 4 cores once the heat sink spread it.
