Guys it comes with a spreader lol should I just use the single dot method or use the spreader?

I would assume they send the spreader for a reason?

I would use the dot method ...and put the spreader in the bin

Be really careful not to put too much on, i used it recently, its very runny, when i had to take my cooler off the week after even a tiny amount had spread onto the side of the cpu holding plate.

Ive tested it with the pea and line method, i'm currently using the line method and only a very thin line and i stopped well short of the edges as this stuff really does spread out as its very thin and runny.

If you have a Sandybridge-E type CPU then spread it as the heatspreader is large.

How about AMD Phenom 6 core. It's pretty large as well, isn't it?

Also, fantastic guide you did. Many thanks
