ok ok put i little blob in the middle of your cpu then put a plastic bag over your finger and spread it evenly,, you cant go wrong .. hope this helps
i did that before but apparently i should just do a short grain rise side and it will spread automatically
yes that will work too.. ON YOUR CPU..

NO just a dot in middle of CPU will do the job

I always spread thermal paste with card I get it together with Akasa thermal paste! I stop 3 mm before the end of CPU! When I buy new CPU on the old CPU was thermal paste almost to the end of CPU.
Works perfect every time idle temp. 28°C max temp. 55°C in games max 50°C (average: 45-50°C). I only trust my eye

wow nice I have to reinstall my heatsink and it isn't placed properly
an d on games im getting 60 up to 90 degrees, especially on arma 3 its constantly like 80-90 degrees
I hope once I installed it correctly and put artic thermal compound it will perform better
with my intel core i7 4970k.
my heatink is an enermax t40 blacktwister.
