That amount of compound looks like enough for a few dozen computers.

aight, i get your point guys.
I usually use a smaller amount but i guess again its too much, i just emptied my syringe thinking that it had 1 use,stupid me.
but never had any issues in the past,especially such high temps, and did that a lot on computers at work etc.
I'm waiting my new paste to come (arctic mx-4) gonna try half a rice or something and feedback ya back
Btw one quick question
I'm now looking at the photo i posted and as it seems theres a lot of paste but not applied to the whole bronze circle of the heatsink.
Maybe its that the heatsink is not seating correctly?
Or it seems ok?

Did you watch the video I posted?

yeah and a lot others!
and thats the reasong i made that question actually.
doesn't look much spreaded

I think maybe this will help...

When you take the IHS (Integrated Heat Spreader) off a CPU, it looks like this pic. Just the pinkish area in the center, is the CPU.

Also, the guy in the video, can't push on a glass plate as hard as screws can push on a CPU cooler.


/e When attaching the CPU cooler with screws or clamps or w/e...it will push down a LOT harder, on the CPU. That little piece of rice sized blob, will spread over the heat spreader, just fine.










/e Here's a modern Intel for comparison...same size...

Aight then so i guess its spreaded enough to make it work.
But if the heatsink pressing more than the guy in the video.
With too much paste i applied it should be more spreaded in my case right?

The secret to thermal compound is: Not too much, and not too little.

Yeah, with the amount of paste you have on there, when you tighten the CPU cooler, it will be forced to leak out the sides, and then run down into the CPU socket.
I always use the 1st method in the video. Seems to work fine for me.
