Ok, so I've read two ways to apply this stuff. Which is the best?

1) Put a little bit on the core then put on the hsf. This smooshes the little mound of AS5 causing it to spread. This leaves the corners of the proc bare.

2) Put a little bit on and spread across the heatspreader, then apply the hsf.
 
although the website said you didn't have to, I rubbed AS5 into my HSF core and then applied a little to the core. I figured it never hurts to make sure, although you have to make sure that you don't add too much onto either one.
