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? |

So thin that it looks like that part isn't covered with TIM but it is... Don't apply on both CPU and heatsink... CPU is enough... Btw how much is MX-2 you bought? I ask a shop about it they say its RM42... Some LYN forummers here are selling them as well. U can do a search on MX-2 under the Trade Zone section. |
