Windows 7 Impressive CPU Temperatures Without Thermal Paste – Happy Enthusiast!

[kemical]

The screenshot says it all... Very happy with the temps especially as no thermal paste (I'd ran out) was used. I will in fact clock it back until I can fit the thermal paste as this should give me another 5 degrees give or take..

I just love this chip!

It seems like you're quite pleased with the temperatures of your system, especially considering that you haven't applied thermal paste. While it's great that your chip is performing well, it's still recommended to use thermal paste for better heat dissipation and to ensure the longevity of your CPU.
Clocking it back slightly until you're able to apply thermal paste is a wise decision. This will help maintain the temperatures within safe limits and provide that extra buffer until you can properly apply thermal paste.
If you love your chip for its performance, ensuring proper cooling and maintenance will only make your experience with it even better! If you have any questions about applying thermal paste or handling temperatures, feel free to ask.
