Alright guys I reinstalled my cooler, with my 2 fans on it too.
Redid thermal paste, didn't put that much this time, just some to do a circle when it touches the cooler.
Overclocked to 4.2 Ghz, voltage is at 1.228v~ and at 1.208v under load (?). Prime95 is stable, running at 55~65º C.
Mario Galaxy now is full speed and cpu temp is at (cores; 49~50, 51~55, 55~59, 54~55).

Also would you likes recommend me to use Asus auto overclocking features?.
I've heard that the Asus Auto Overclocker or whatever they call it sets voltages a bit higher than necessary. You can try it, but see if you can't get a stable OC at the same clock on lower volts than the utility sets it.
lolol.
Can you tell me if Coolermaster thermal paste is conductive?. Because now that I remember.. I had some in one of the motherboard sockets, just in one, very few small point of thermal, and I can't reach it with anything on my hand, and I really don't want to touch that ;D
And my computer is running like normally...
I've also read that if it's conductive when you turn on the computer it will crash or die, and my nothing happend to it actually, I've also read many forums and ppl say "if it ain't broken, don't fix it", or like "if it's working better leave it working, but if you want to put it out, be careful with the pins".
20c difference just for putting less thermal paste ?
You must have done something alse wrong when installing the cooler first time.
There is no way a more paste then needed should produce 20c higher temp!

It
might. Thermal paste has poor thermal conductivity, which is why it is very important that it only serves to fill gaps in the metal and isn't a layer between the metal. But CPU cooler's are designed to mount very tightly to push out excess thermal paste, so you'd need a ton of the stuff (or a bad mount) to have that kind of issue. But if you overcome those safeguards and have a thick layer of thermal paste between the CPU and the cooler, you are going to have a big problem.
Quote:when i run prime95 my temps to over 75º C~80º C in less 10 seconds, I'll resetup my cooler including the thermal paste.
Be careful. With my 3570K, I've found that it usually takes 10-15 minutes for it to hit peak. Just an quirk of the architecture. Make sure you run prime 95 for at least 15 minutes to get a proper read.
Alright people,
the temperatures have become significantly lower after reinstalling the thermalpaste, and the cooler.
Overclocked 3570k to 4.2 Ghz at 1.220v, decreasing the vCore even by 0.005 will BSOD the computer
Idle Temps; 26º C same as mobo.
Normal CPU usage: 36º C
Full Load: 60~65º C
I believe that themalpaste on the cpu sockets wont harm it, because yesterday I ran 2 Dolphin Emulators to play Resident Evil: Archives Wii Edition with a friend, we played 9:43:00 hours in Hard Mode, never crashed and temps were 49º C~62º C, the cpu load was at 100%.

@Twisted Scorpio, How could you play two dolphin?
Dolphin here, always stop the controler and the keyboard, when the window is not focused on it.
Is there a way to leave the controlers work in dolphin, when the window is not focused on it?
Edit: I just find out :p check "Background Input" in "GC Pad" or also on "Wiimote"
Oh, is that what that does? No wonder it doesn't do whatever it is I was expecting it to.

Well, MAYBE the GTX 690 
But SLI/Crossfire isn't supported by Dolphin.
Are you sure or positive about that? I hope you do know that there's a GTX 680 4GB edition and a 6GB HD 7970
The amount of VRAM of the GPU doesn't influence the performance afaik.
