Solution
remember you don't need ALOT of it.. if unsure how much there are lot of very good videos out there by "linus" that show the various methods to put it on and what differences it makes in the end, pea, spread, cross, line... up to you.. I use spread myself and never ever had issues.

I'm sure the thermal paste I put is bad it is very cheap and Intel fan works fine the mx-4 paste on the way to me
