So a while back i tried building my pc unfortunately the motherboard died. so i took my cpu out (along with the stock intel cooler) and sent it back. It took the shop over 3 weeks to give me my money back and once they did i ordered my asus motherboard which should be here tomorrow, now the problem that thermal paste didn't spread properly it looks a little like this. half of the paste is on the cpu and half on the heatsink.
