When I first installed my E8500, I put just a few drops in the center and then used a credit card to spread it out to cover the entire surface of the chip (above temps have been solid for a year).I hope their method works. ![]() So I followed their directions and hope it doesn't screw things up. They gave similar instructions for a Duel Core chip. They said once installed with the heatsink and running that the grease would then spread out and form an oval pancake shape over the cpu heatsink. It said to only spread a thin line horizontal across the center of the chip. I do have one other question though.that link above has great info in it and I read the Intel instructions on how to apply thermalpaste (grease) to a Quad. My current paste has probably been on 6+ years now, Im due a CPU upgrade in next year or 2 maybe, so it will probably stay until then. Its application to the processor chip prior to installing a cooling solution to fill in any air gaps helps in facile heat dissipation. Thermal paste is changed if I have to take my CPU cooler off for any reason or I start to have problems with high temperatures. Like other TIMs, thermal paste has high thermal conductivity and low thermal expansion. It looks like I did have more than enough AS-5 paste to do the cpu and heatsink, so I won't be able to give you guys a current update on the mixing of this stuff.but when I first built this last year, I did mix a tiny bit of the Artic Silver and the Zalman thermalpaste together and I believe my cpu temp were running in the 29-32C range. Thermal paste is a TIM applied between a processor and heat sink to enable heat dissipation. Well.I now have the new cpu installed and everything reassembled.
