That's awesome! I finally got around to reapplying some arctic silver to and old gateway laptop and my temps also dropped around 10-15 degrees! Don't think I'll ever go back to stock paste

Np. I think reapplying some of that good paste you have would help dissipate the heat, not sure by how much though. Let me know if you do repaste, I'm interested to hear how much your temps drop :) I'll be doing the same thing in a few days with an old laptop

The turbo boost can be disabled from the BIOS and should be listed under "speed step", there's a screen shot in this thread: http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-1718268/turbo-boost-speed-step-working-gaming.html I also found a forum that suggests to adjust your processor settings in Windows...

Have you tried turning the turbo boost off? I've read that it can help with CPU temps. But cleaning out any dust from the heat sink fan should help, and while you have it opened you could even buy some good thermal paste and reapply it to your CPU
