Thermal Paste Application

[DrCool_DCT]

What is the best way to apply thermal paste?... anybody have any good tips?

Would using a toothbrush to apply the paste give you the right consistency?.... *just a thought*

I use an old credit card to spread the paste out in a nice thin, even layer on the core. Seems to work fine, just make sure to use an old card or something similar, I dunno whether you could damage the magnetic strip with the paste (don't see how you could, but better safe than sorry).

LMAO! toothbrush for thermal paste.

no I use a new razor and that seems to work easy.

Ive always had good luck with a toothpick. Use the point to pick up the globs in just the right amount and then angle it however you need to spread it.

thanks for the tips.... the Artic Silver Link was extremely helpful.

has anybody else used Artic Silver 2?

I also used the toothpick it's the best solution
cause it's small and easy to spread
and no mess

A glob of AS2 on the core and toothpick all the way :)
