I have a tube of ARCTIC COOLING MX-2. Here is AC's installation instructions: MX-2: Installation Instructions
The installation instructions (a small dollop in the middle of the CPU) seems about right for a single core chip. I want to use this stuff on a 45nm quad - so my question is, "what is a better way to insure that I have TIM evenly spread between the HSF and the CPU (all cores)?"
I called AC Tech and they are useless. Guy didn't have a clue. I know, I know - this is another "how do I spread TIM" question, but this is specific to this product. My inclination is to spread a very thin layer over the chip and then just tighten down a HSF (with a slight twisting action).
Anybody have experience with AC MX-2 and quads? Or MX-2 in general?
