So I've removed my cooler and I'm now in the process of reapplying thermal paste (Antec formula 7).
I have been following the instructions on Arctic Silver's website. It says for copper heatpipe coolers you should spread paste into all the gaps, which I think I've done.
See pic:
I've used as little as possible and spread it thinly over the base of the cooler. It's quite wide though and certainly wider then the CPU plate? It's not going to end up all over the internals is it?
Secondly, do I then need to apply a tiny amount to the CPU? Like a grain of rice?
Thanks for help.
