[stalin90]

Ok so i picked up some MX-2 today and i was wondering how much should i use, i plan on reapplying it when i get my new ram but right now with my as5 i dont think i put enough on. i was wondering if i could get a few pics maybe???

Rice size amount.

Since both your cpu and heatsink are lapped a grain of rice is perfect. It they weren't then closer to half a pea would be more realistic.
