    I agree, way too much.I follow the artic silver tutorial where you wipe the chip and heatsink with alcohol,then with a clean plastic baggie,apply onto the heatsink,then wipe it off with a clean cloth.Then with a credit card smooth out a thin coat of paste on the cpu.
    The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

    what? I cleaned with alcohol pad, applied arctic silver then popped one of my whiteheads and rubbed the "arctic-sliver" in with my finger. That was Fastgame's method
