If I get arctic silver 5 thermal compound & apply to the core , how much temp drop will I get using intel stock heatsink?

Additionally If I install a cpu cooler such as
Scythe Infinity CPU Cooler

or
Tuniq Tower 120 Cooler

how much these coolers lower the temp if my ambient in summers remain 35-40°?

You can never say exactly how much your temperatures will drop. Every individual case is different. But on an average I would say that just using AS5 can reduce temperatures by around 2-5 degrees and installing the Infinity might give you around a 10 degree drop.

You sure your ambient temperatures go up to 40 degrees?

Yes Delhi becomes hell in summers, Its quite common to have 38° (mesured many times)ambient temp if AC is not on, & if the powercuts happen as regular then yes you run a risk of actually running ur comp in that high temp bcozthe comp has UPS backup for 45 mins.

10° drop by cooloing fan sound what I need, as I am now running at 52° ideal & on load it goes 65-70° the ambient right now hovers around 18-22°.

65-70 is too much IMO. I feel the temps should not exceed 60 under any conditions. I would advise you to get the CPU cooler/AS5 ASAP.

You get a very good drop using Artic silver. I have two computers and in both cases, the drop was around 5 degrees for ideal and 3 degrees on load. It surely helps than having normal thermal paste. But for more temperature drops , buying a aftermarket cooler is the best bet

that is still too much .. even my p4 3.2 ghz is 40 /50 degress at idle/load settings .. with cooler master ultra vortex . (not great cooler )
try to change to better psu .. :)

Do you think my PSU "Zebronics 400 watt" is generating heat, it has its own fan to throw out the heat.I am presently testing the comp overclocked at 2.8Ghz

nope . .when ur overclocking .. all u need is better cooling and very good and solid psu .. so that u dont fry up ur components ..

i am using my p4 3.2 @ 4 ghz .. but with cooler master 600w psu ..
