Laggy Performance SOlution

I had posted a thread last week about how my games started to run very slowly even with my specs. I found out that the CPU Thermal COmpund had dried and become useless, so it was like i didnt have any there. Well today i got some Arctic Silver 5! This stuff is great, i re applied the Compund to the CPU and my temperatures for the CPU have dropped considerably, the fan has been on SLOW for as long as the PC has been on. Usually i would have heard the fans rev up because i wanted to go on the net, but no not yet, not even when i play Counter Strike. This Compund is the best out there, and i reccomend it to anyone with the slow performance etc.

    Yes, that Arctic Silver stuff is great but I wouldn't recommend anyone who is within the Dell warranty to use it as it could technically invalidate your warranty.
