Pea-size applying method

 

[David Hull]

Honestly it doesn’t really matter just do the line or the pea method I wouldn’t recommend spreading it though as the heat sink/ aio water cooler does that anyway

 

[Austin Miller]

Dime size dollop in the center

 

[Seth Aaron]

Dot dot,not a lot

 

[Shaun Soutter]

Linus did a vid on this, it basically doesn't matter as long as you don't use too little.

just splatter it everywhere like porn when no one else is home. then blame it on the dog.

 

[Magnus Moland]

Make a cooked rice sized one if it is a big tube og dry rice corn if it is a small tube. Or just make an x

 

[Eko Prasetyo]

Peasize drop on the center of heatsink of cpu

 

[Steven Gunnoe]

All the methods are very close to the same results, Just do not put too much. (around a pea size for most)
