Naturally, removing a heatsink from the CPU will mess up the paste if it's already been applied and used. You'll optimally want to apply a thin, even layer over the entire surface of contact between the two. And by thin, like, paper-thin. Just enough to coat it. That's why it looks as though only a dot of paste is added -- that's all you need, but it [i]is[/i] best to spread it. And Arctic Silver 5 is still the go-to, I think.

    Yea I know all that mumble jumbo. Ive done that with my PC i built and to my cousins PC that was about to take off. But here at Intel(let me correct and say The Team I work with), they don't really care. Its all a bit messy i have to say lol.

  • Well, I image that it's hard to really screw it up, but I think there are noticeable differences in CPU temperature and maybe heatsink functionality, when it's applied cleanly.
