Hey all, I just installed my CM Hyper 212+ to my Phenom II X3 using Arctic Alumina. I wasn't expecting it to be so pasty! 
This is my first time doing it. I put the AA on the HS and rubbed it in clockwise and then counter, then took a coffee filter and wiped it off similarly. It seemed to work fine, I'm just nervous about the coffee filter fibers, though I didn't see any. Anyway, I seated the HS onto the CPU and put a dab of the AA in the middle, and it's all together. My PSU comes tomorrow and I'm hooking it up then.
What should I check for to determine if I got a "good" thermal grease application?
Thank you!
