So everyone says that the pea method works, but yesterday i applied my Antec formula 6 nano diamond and opened the case and the cpu cooler and didnt even spread all the way...
 
Hi again,
The pea method does work fairly well, as the CPU itself only produces heat near the middle of the heat spreader (for your processor)
I personally spread it out evenly with a credit card or similar, just to make sure its even, and no air.

You will hear many different ways to do it, none are more "correct" than the others for the most part.
