Socket 2011 thermal paste question

[Adam_101]

Hey Guys,

Please can you settle an argument, regarding 2011 (3820, 3930 etc) cpus and the correct thermal paste application method.

I believe that there is no difference between a line and pea sized amount where as my kind hearted mad brother believes a pea sized/thin layer spread is the best method.


Thought I would ask on the greatest forum on earth and get this settled - so I can go have a cup of tea!

Thanks!

Adam.
