Quick question.

Just got parts etc and got Arctic Cooling MX-1 instead of AS5.
Should I use the AS5 method for a duel core proc (line down the middle) or AC`s method (just a blob in the middle)?

Thanks for the help.
 
A grain of rice sized amount between the cores (down the middle vertically). I 1st thought this wasn't enough but believe me once the heatsink is on it will spread to cover the entire heatspreader' surface. Too much causes a right old mess I tell thee! :D

The difference is probably unmeasurable outside of a lab.
