Step Three: Application of New paste.
Once you have removed the old paste from both your processor and heatsink, you are ready to apply your new thermal paste!
Since we are using Arctic Silver 5, the application will be slightly different. Unlike other pastes, Arctic Silver 5 requires us to apply the paste in a vertical line method on specific processors, in this case we are using the Intel Core i7-2600k.
For a list of processors Arctic Silver specifies, click these links:

Right after applying paste you should install your new cooler! Personally, I use the weight of my cooler to spread the paste. However, you can spread it around to a thin layer with things such as an old credit card.
Step Four: Installation of New/Old Cooler.
Now we have installed the Hyper 212 EVO, we are good to go!
