WELL PROVEN QUALITY: The design of our thermal paste packagings has changed several times, the formula of the composition has remained unchanged, so our MX pastes have stood for high qualityHIGH PERFORMANCE: With excellent temperature reduction performance, the MX-2 is ideal for CPU and GPU cooling, and other applications between power semiconductor components and heatsinksSAFE APPLICATION: The MX-2 is metal-free and non-electrical conductive which eliminates any risks of causing short circuit, adding more protection to the CPU and VGA cardsHIGH DURABILITY: In contrast to metal and silicon thermal compound, the MX-2 does not compromise over time. Once applied, you do not need to apply it again as it will last at least for 8 yearsEASY TO APPLY: With an ideal consistency, the MX-2 is very easy to use, even for beginners
You can get two hour delivery on https://primenow.amazon.co.uk/dp/B004D3TUG0
You can do it with only a shitty Phillips Head TBH and Check out This MX-2 for a cheaper alternative. When applying TP keep in mind that you only need enough to form a thin conductive layer between plates, so a fairly small sized drop will do (Half a Garden Pea in size will do like this)
Hey MrSpazomo! Thanks for the reply and things to check! I did try to provide as much information as possible at the time :) I'll answer as many as I can now, and will come back to you on the cabling.

Thanks for taking the time to help me out!
So I’ve got it booted up with one stick of RAM and I’ve ordered a thermal paste which arrives on Friday.

That’s the paste I went for.
I’ll quickly do another bench mark to see if the RAM is improved
what about this? https://www.amazon.co.uk/Compound-Performance-Heatsink-Interface-Material/dp/B004D3TUG0/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1519230706&sr=8-3&keywords=arctic+silver+thermal+paste
