I saw this on DSLreports.com and thought I'd come share the wealth.. Even though I know most of you already know how, it's always good to have a visual reminder.

I always just squeezed out as much as possible and slapped the processor on.. (Must be why my current rig runs at 50c all the time.. heh..) I'm just waiting for my Arctic Silver 3 to come in the mail so I can put on my new heat sink

Thanks guys, I've used the credit card technique to smoothe the compound on the chip in the past and it's hard to get an even coat, especially when you have shaky hands like myself! The plastic bag thing seems promising.

Remember...the coating should be between .003-.005 inches thick according to the manufacturer(if anyone could ever discover how the hell you figure that out!!!) :confused:
