well after all the issues I had with bent pin on the motherboard I have had the motherboard exchanged(through asrock as mentioned ocuk wanted nothing of it) I came to fit the ocuk h2flo cooler and had to use new tim as the pre-applied one was used previously hand had been cleaned off, I have read rice grain to pea size tho I think I may have put a little too much(tried using a spreader plastic I got with some akasa tim years ago to try and remove a some).
here's the pic
prob should have removed a bit more, hope it doesn't get into the socket though the gap you can see in the pic.
oh and I used the 'let the cooler spread the tim' technique rather than the 'spread using card/plastic bag' technique.
