What's the proper way to apply TIM

Thermalright instructs to apply a thin layer of TIM to both the CPU and heatsink base
MX-2 instructs to apply a small dot of TIM to the middle of the CPU
Arctic Silver instructs to apply a thin line to the middle of the CPU

So which one to follow?

Basically neither one make too much of difference ..

I used to apply a thin layer .. but realized that it's possible with Artic Silver but not on MX-1 //

so when I started to use MX-1 I just drop a tip at the center of HIS then mount the heatsink..

Because MX-1 just not as liquid as AS5.... so can't spread evently, it would just stick to the what ever being used to spread it even..

that's why don't use chapalang TIM ..

most well known TIM now days feature non conduction characteristic ...

MX-2 would be one ...
