Hi all,

Can someone confirm if i need to cover the hole cpu with this paste

Or can I just put a line of paste across CPU as Ive always done in the past,

A pea sized dot in the centre will do, the pressure of the cpu cooler will spread the paste evenly.

thanks for that, I had seen a youtube video and the guy said to spread the whole cpu LOL

Pea size will do me

I contacted Gelid and asked them this very question, their answer;

"I suggest you just place a small amount in the middle of the CPU, then fitting the heatsink."

thanks PieEater,

What also confused me was the supply of the mini spreader,
