Thermal paste and Tuniq 120

Hi

Just got a quick question re. the application of thermal paste onto the CPU when installing the Tuniq 120.

I applied an amount just bigger than a grain of rice as per a post I read on here and the instructions. Do you think this is enough as in comparsion to the size of the CPU it did not seem very much?

Thanks
David

Which CPU?

You apply just enough so you can just about see the cpu through
the silver the idea is to spread evenly the grain of rice sized amount
accross the entire surface area.

Arctic Silver has website recommendations, should be the same for any paste.
