I'm building an intel i5 2600K with a mATX mobo (mobo to be determined)
WHAT thermal paste would you recommend?
I used Artic Silver for my old build, but they offer more than one kind!
Second, how MUCH do you put it on, how do you apply it etc??
I saw one YouTube video where the person put a small amount on and spread it on thin with a credit card.
Another friend said to put the amount the size of a pea in the center, and let the heat sink spread it across the surface.
What if I put too much on, and it squishes out w/the HS is put on?? My friend did this for me last time, and I watched. I forgot what he did exactly as it was about 10 years ago.
Thanks in advance!
