Hi folks .. I have yet to complete my build as I am perplexed. at all the techniques I have found on the Internet and YouTube. I am installing a 2011.3 socket with a Hyper 212 Evo cooler.
I'm leaning towards doing it as the manufacturers website for arctic silver 5-- that is they recommend tinting the cooler and a line on the cpu
I also found this demo on the matter:
https://www.pugetsystems.com/labs/articles/Thermal-Paste-Application-Techniques-170/
I was hoping to get feedback from any rig vets here if possible... I found some older threads here but was also wondering if some TIMs are better than others and obviously I have a 6 core processor that may run hotter than older cpus. Maybe there isn't a "best practice"?
Just for laughs I found this video... the Kentucky way of applying things:
