Just make sure the entire surface is covered, and that there are no air gaps between the processor and heatsink.

hi precise thermal paste is regularly located on the 1st installation of the heatsink. it extremely is used to make the suitable thermal flow between the processor and the radiator. As a suitable prepare, I recommand to function new thermal paste in case you probable did maintanance on the processor's heatsink. do no longer located to a lot, carry on with in basic terms an extremely skinny layer of thermal paste. additionally attempt to wipe out the previous one.

You only need a very light film of thermal paste. Apply a little and spread it over the entire surface wiping off any excess.
It is only to fill any gaps on the surface and should only be in the 'gaps' to permit as much surface contact as possible.
Too much is more harmful than too little.

because if theres any air pockets over time your glue will weaken and crumble leaving u with a cpu chip that needs glue. Personally.... I put some of that gorilla glue in there and it works perfectly. its a thick paste so it wont create air pockets and last's for like ever. then again I have also been building myself gaming computers for like 4 years now so I know all the tricks to computers:]

Go to your manual and look in the specs of your machine. If you cannot find it there go to the Manufacturer's site and see if you can find it there, if it is not a proprietary spec. if you can't get any where, just ask them; they may tell you. I don't think so but it will not hurt to ask any way.
