Okay, so CPU and THERMAL PASTE!
Okay, correct me if I'm wrong, but does it matter how you put on the thermal paste? ANy thermal paste. Im just using the word thermal paste. Ive read countless times that missing any area of the CPU will make it bad and all this bad junk.
It really got me thinking here at work, all they do is just put a dot in the middle and thats it. ive taken off CPU fans from CPUS that have been running HD 4000 IG games for months, and that CPU is holding up pretty good even if the paste is all weird and ugly and all over the CPU and fan.
So does it really matter? This Intel chips i'm talking about.

I only use a bit.

That little dot is really all that's needed, and when the heat sink is mounted, that little dot will be squished and spread all over the CPU. The point of thermal paste IIRC is to provide a heat-conductive material to fill the microscopic imperfections in the surface of the CPU and heat sink, so more heat is able to transfer quickly off of the CPU to the sink. Hence why a small amount is all you need.

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.
