grain of rice or 2 on cpu, 1/4 grain on GPU then mount and tighten the heatsink.

Mounting and clamping the heatsink will spread the paste.

 

[iceie]

the clamping will spread the paste do you mean by that?

 

[tinytomlogan]

when you put the heatsink on mate

i find that a little twist left and right, just a little one also help the compound to spread evenly

I normally do it with pressure of the heatsink, did it with a credit card this time, but it is too much headache, just let the heatsink do it
