To spread or not to spread?

[Zeebedy]

Hey hey,

Due to the great service at OC I will be recieving my new mobo tomorrow.

I have used the pre applied thermal paste on the CorsairH50 and will be using a tube of thermal paste. What I want to know is, due I put a spot of paste on and then apply the the water pump OR before that do I spread the paste accross the CPU before the pump goes on?

Thanks guys,
RTJ
