Hi guys,
My new Coolermaster V8 is on its way somewhere in the post along with some Arctic silver 5. I should have it in the next five days so I was wandering what is the best way to apply thermal compound?
-Some people say its better to put a pea sized blob in the middle and then put the heatsink on it, which will spread it out and create a vacumn.
-Others say its best to spread it with your finger in a plastic bag, as you can then be sure you have even coverage.
Can anyone give me some advice as to which way is better any why?
I like the blob method but I dont like the way you cant be sure you have a full coverage when doing it.
Thanks,Greg.
