I have the TT's 735 watercooling kit right now, and although I know its not the best kit out there, it stops me from spending 50-60 bux for some decent air cooler, and give me time to put my custom waterkit piece by piece...

anyways, When I first bought the arctic silver, I got the instructions from the interntet, and I remember that it told me to put literally like a tiny dot on the cpu, and to spread it with a credit card... while this worked, how is that any amount of 'enough' compound? I mean that was so little (especially when spread) I could see the writings through it!

Few hours, I'm going to get my rig, so I don't want to mess anything up while putting the heatsink to the CPU, so I wanted to ask how much you guys put when you used arctic silver.... just as much as the manual said, or a tad more?
 
you know what, I thought I put this in the coolign section... sorry I'll repost it there, jsut delete this one :(
