I am a pure believer of the line method. The best way to do it is hot-dog style (adding the amount that spans the longest distance of the dimension of the CPU, but not all the way of course).
Great vid. Thanks!!!

@vicx05 because the thermal paste would fall from the CPU into the mother board, also there's the need for space for the pins of the CPU

This is by far the best video I have watched regarding how to apply thermal paste. Fantastic job! That's science at its finest. Thank you!

The small chip heats up very fast and the metal case absorbs it but it still needs support from a large or small heat sink(mostly large). Thermal paste helps the transfer of heat between the cpu and heat sink. (Good question idk if all chips are in the center but most ones are from major brands).

Cross method is the best

@ZomgACake is the chip always in the center for all CPUs and GPUs? why is the heatsink over the chip so big if the chip is so small? most of the heat would be transferred out by the larger heatsink/fan on top of it, so why not have a smaller heatsink on the chip?

@vicx05
Still to much just a pea size in the center is fine because the actual chip is in the center.

Can you make a video showing the proper way to spread thermal compound on a HDD.

YOU, good sir, are brilliant

what about 5-10 peas spread out, would that be alright? |
