I am ordering a new Opty 165 to replace the 3200+ in my rig below. From what I have gathered, I want to first clean the grease off of the headsink with rubbing alcohol. Then I want to apply just a small drop in the center of the CPU and then put the heatsink back on? Is that correct?
I have always (in the past) put on the material and then used a credit card to spread it out in a thin layer over the entire heat spreader. But apparently this Arctic Silver is different.
Just wanted to double check.
Thanks!
Aaron
