Yeah, probably 10 times over... you are trying to fill in microscopic inconsistencies in the surface, not making a sandwich.

Oh yes. You will use only a tiny bit for each application.

If the end products looks like an Oreo, you are doing it wrong. A tiny tube they sell should be good for a dozen cpus.
Yeah, probably 10 times over... you are trying to fill in microscopic inconsistencies in the surface, not making a sandwich. Just to ask, do I just apply it in a straight small line from a quarter way down in the middle to three quarters up in the middle? Nov 11, 2006 2,057 0

Yeah, probably 10 times over... you are trying to fill in microscopic inconsistencies in the surface, not making a sandwich. Just to ask, do I just apply it in a straight small line from a quarter way down in the middle to three quarters up in the middle? There are so many ways to apply it that it's almost an art form. Some people like to spread
it out, some peopel make an X, some peopel make dots in patterns... but really if you just put a small pea sized amount right in the middle then the pressure from the CPU going on will spread it out quite well. You can look up some tutorial videos if you want to estimate how much you should use based on that.

How long does 4g of thermal paste last?Lasts 8 years. Arctic MX-2 Thermal Paste, 4g High Durability/Performance, Lasts over 8 years, Easy Application is rated 5.0 out of 5 by 2.
How many grams of thermal paste is enough?Make sure to use the correct amount of thermal paste, which is roughly the size of a pea or a grain of rice. An insufficient amount might not cover the surface area needed in order to be effective.
Is 1G of thermal paste enough?Is the 1g of Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut Thermal Paste enough for both? Yeah 1G should be enough for 2-3 repastes.
How many ml of thermal paste should I use?0.2ml thermal offered the best thermal performance, no matter which application method we used. That's because 0.2ml is the perfect amount to be applied on this size of CPU.
