How do you apply the heatsink compound?
I am using a preused intel stock cooler for the CPU on a GA-G31M-G2SL rev. 1.0. I have cleaned the old compound off of it with rubbing alcojhol and will clean the surface of the CPU on the motherboard also.
I have never done this before ,and am scared.
I know you're not to use your fingers to apply the paste. what do you use?

Just apply a drop of paste in the heatsink and press the heatsink over the processor the heat itself will spread it evenly.
