Spreading Arctic Silver 5

[bbasra]

i followed the pdf. I draw a line of mx-2 across the cores, put the tuniq on top, turned it a few degrees each way so that the paste spreads out.

i then had to RMA my mobo so when i took the tuniq off and using the line method, there was like a round circle on the cpu and tuniq but the whole cpu was not covered.

i'll probably use the finger and plastic bag method to get a even spread.

bbasra, I belive the idea is for the tim to cover the cores and not the whole CPU !!! If I am wrong I am sure someone more knowledgable will put me right
