The circle of pre applied thermal paste looks like it is a little small for the 5820k (it is the same amount applied to all new Kraken's). When it heats up will it expand to cover the whole CPU or do I need to apply new thermal paste? Thank you.
It will most likely be more than enough for what you need, when attaching it to the CPU/Motherboard, it will spread and or cover more than enough of it to keep it cool. You can apply your own thermal paste if it will comfort you, but I have no doubt about it 'Not being enough'.
