ok it the circle wasnt as big as the one in their picture, but prett close....this is weird....the first time i turned it on after applying arctic silver, at idle my cpu was 33 degrees (5 degree drop)...and then i restarted it like a minute after cuz i put the keyboard in the wrong slot, and now its idle at 36 (2 degree drop)....

so should I not leave this on overnight?? how long should i leave it on, then turn it off?? cuz i usually turn it on in the morning and leave it on till midnight....

Monitor the temps for the first 10 minutes or so and if it stays stable then you can leave it on overnight.

You could also try to put your CPU to work to see what the temps are under load. Run a game or do some folding@home (see link in my sig.)
