There is only one "right" way to apply thermal paste.
A small dot no bigger than a cooked grain of white rice at the center of the CPU.
The spreading will be done by the heatsink being secured...
I dunno about that, some people swear by a grain of rice sized dot, others a pea... some say to just set the cooler down on it right after applying it, others say spread it around...
I just put some that was right between a grain of rice and a pea. spread it around with a old gift card, I got temps no different then anyone else running the same cooler.
