Ok so I am planning on building a PC soon and I am 99% sure of how to do it all but today I was thinking, do I apply the theraml paste to the CPU, then put the cpu into the motherboard, then put the heatsink on top or do I put the CPU into the motherbaord, apply the thermal grease to the heatsink, then fix the heatsink in place?
I am guessing the second way is easier but does it really matter? Should I apply thermal grease to both?
Please help me to be sure in my mind. Thanks
