    I had to do it twice, first attempt was way too little paste, and of course the temps are abysmal 😂
    The second attempt, I put a bit more and temp is 11°C cooler. I use the spatula method.
    Thanks for the guide 👍

    I have started applying it to the heatsink. A thin layer and then install the cooler. It works better for me than the 1000 other ways I've tried. Give props to the heatsinks they send with new processors for the idea. I just copied it.

      Best idea. Also just to make sure you can also apply a very thin layer on both... A lot less on the CPU just to be sure all the valleys on the heat spreader have the air removed and are filled with thermal paste. You should almost see the metal under the paste to make sure it's not too much of it. Too much paste is always a bad thing.

    Method #2 the pea is what I have always used = No air entrapment easier install and after a year or so taking the cooler off it has always been evenly spread. But I have seen these Graphene sheets with their results showing great effectiveness I want more info on the Graphene sheets might just be the thing? They don't need changing ever or a long time.

    Thermal grease is a very important auxiliary accessories, can bring more high performance for the CPU to play, I recommend MJ M12 thermal grease, its performance and price are very advantageous, better than MX-4!

    I really didn't trust the"pea" method.. but everyone seems to mention it. Of course lots of people say lots of things that aren't correct...
    Either way i don't trust it; even if it does appear evenly, how are you supposed to ensure that it goes to all the edges? That seems impossible to me.

      @@ECPUz I just spread a layer with a thin guitar pick. I'm pretty certain it was done fine but who knows because I can't POST. I'm almost certain it's the BIOS; it's 5th gen Ryzen and the mobo ships with 3rd gen... But the stupid Asus website says they don't have any software available.

      @@ECPUz do you have any advice ? I know the PSU, GPU etc work; all that I changed is the Mobo, RAM (since I was on ddr3) and CPU. I'm reasonably certain that I installed everything properly and that the issue isn't the hardware of the mobo or CPU ... It could be the one stick of RAM but what I'm betting on is it's the bios firmware ..
      But I don't want to go down the rabbit hole of customer "service" ... Why the hell does the Asus site say they have no software for this mobo? The documentation is littered with them pushing the virtues of their bios flashback and related stuff... But then they don't have any. And no explanation as to why.
      I'll save my cynical rant , I'm just annoyed. But I figured it would atleast bring me into the BIOS, or an error screen, even if the BIOS firmware didn't support 5th gen.
