Far out, how much you putting on? As far as I’m aware, doing a cross over the processor is all that’s needed
1 tube per processor but sometimes I get hungry and need 2.
Hey I respect it man.
Even that's a bit much. For normal sized CPUs, a dot in the middle a tad smaller than a pea is enough to cover the IHS.
Idk the tube of arcticnaut I have came with a little wide applicator that I used to just kinda paint the whole thing in the thinnest layer possible with the coherence of the paste being what it is. Squished out a bit over the sides but didn't get around the socket or anything.
Idk what Thermal Grizzly Cryonaut comes with but dammit if it doesn't do the job. I've seen 70C on my CPU once and that was during a video render, a game has never broken that barrier. It's Ryzen Master Auto O/C'd so idk what it would be getting without that boost in performance.
