Hello!

I just bought an AMD Athlon 4200+ dual core AM2 processor. I was wondering what the proper method for applying the arctic silver 5 stuff. I've read that the stuff needs to be spread around with a credit card, but I also read that all you need to do is apply a small dot in the center than twist the heatsink around on it.

I'm confused on how to apply this! A simple question, I think. Any help will be greatly appreciated!
 
The amount should be no bigger then a cooked piece of rice and simply placing the heatsink down and latching it is the only thing requirered
 
Hmm... I usually make it twice the size of a cooked piece of rice... maybe you eat bigger rice than me. :laughing:
