Hi
I was wondering how much thermal paste coverage needs to be on my GPU chip? I have bought a Arctic Accelero S1 Plus for my Radeon HD6570.
Heres a picture of the heatsink from the Accelero

Now heres what my GPU Chip looks like. Same design but this is from a 5570

Will the amount of thermal paste on the heatsink currently be too much coverage? SHould it cover just the plate or the chips as well?
To give you an idea of size the GPU chip is the same size as the thermal paste on the Accelero heatsink
