Hello everyone, I recently finished my new build with an fx-8320 and used a tim called shin etsu g751 I left it to warm up in a bag with hot hot water because many have said that it's pretty hard to spread. I then applied a pea sized dot into the center if the cpu and ran prime95 immediately after to use the heat to help spread he paste. Does there seem to be any flaws with the method I used? Temps are at 60c on full load with a slightly over clocked to 3.7ghz though the cure time hasn't finished.
 
Solution
thats a normal temp but it was better if you applied it in the middle of the cpu "pea sized" next time of you want to place it do it in the middle. wont make much difference most important that theres thermal paste applied not too much you're ok.
