Ive been searching, and i cant find anything on how to apply thermal paste to dual core cpus, im getting my Pentium D 930 today, want to apply some arctic silver 5 and an xp120, im guessing theres a heatspreader on the cpu, should i still just put some paste in the middle and let the heasink spread it? or should i be putting two dabs of paste?

thanks
 
if i am correct the 9xx series doesnt have 2 physically seperate cores. just one big cap in the center with the 2 cores underneath... 1.5 grains of rice will do you perfect right in the center.
