Your preferred TIM application method.

I'm currently running some tests on my newly acquired 2500k before I lap it.

I noticed the delta between the hottest and coolest core is 10 degrees at idle, this is with the centre spot method letting the heatsink spread it out itself.

As it'll be coming off again I was wondering what peoples suggestions would be for a more even delta t across all cores?

Thanks.

I've been using noctua nh-1 recently instead of my AS5 stable mate. Especially on naked GPU cores as it's non-conductive. I'm gonna try the line method next I think. I'll double check which direction for my specific chip. Thanks all.
