@mattmga If you are using a newer processor I would recomend that you follow the directions provided by AS5 as they are going to be optimal. This video was made for the application of AS5 on an older Intel P4 proc which at that time used this method. Apparently people are still having an issue grasping the fact that this video was not created when we got dual and quad cor proc.

DO NOT apply thermal with a credit card ffs :S It can cause airbubbles

[ubertiny]

@2009RaisedFist You do realize this video was done with an Intel P4 processor and back at that time it was actually the process done in spreding the thermal paste across the proc. Do your research before commenting.

The website says just make a line of paste on the CPU and put the heatsink on top of it. It will spread out on its own, you don't need to smear it. Is this way of doing it effective?

[ubertiny]

Hey, very good. Have you read any of the previous replies to this video. It has been mentioned many times that this is in fact an older way of doing this. Try reading next time.

"Place a SMALL amount of AS5 on top of your CPU"

*video shows globs of compound spread on the CPU*

ROFL

haha thats priceless put a little arctice silver on the processor and he put like half the tube on the cpu

@superbura9 Dude, I was 5 when I penetrated your mom the last time. I can come to your family again so you can see how it has grown in the past 15 years.

@Kenji314159 ...you can probably use your penis because it's probably the same size as a credit card i.e. very small and extremely thin. Good luck!

[Kenji314159]

using something like a credit card, drivers licence, someting straight and hard enough... Can I use my pen!s?

[aLinuxTV]

Way to much paste ..and that looks nothing like a Core 2 duo or even a Quad core. You shouldn't post video's like this unless you're a professional. I happen to know.

[mattmga]

Ubertiny, I read the comments here after the fact, and spread the AS5 out over my processor. Should I clean off and start over, or does it make that big a difference?

you can apply thermal like 10 different ways. it all does the same thing. isnt a best way to do it

[MrWildfire92]

1. not all new CPUs have the pin-less design, amd possessors still use pins

2. this is the absolute worst way to put thermal paste on a cpu, only put a small dab in the center of it and use the force of the heatsink to force the paste in a outward direction, this method will have air bubbles in between the heatsink and the cpu which i bad for it
