PMFJI, but since I was a newbie like Lobsterboy in applying AS5 paste, may I share my experience with it? I followed Arctic Silver's directions exactly, using only a rice grain's worth of paste in the middle of the CPU, and then using a credit card to spread it out. I was unable to get a really smooooooth film of the paste no matter how hard I tried. It never looked like the pictures that I fund at various internet sites. However, I was careful not to put on too much, per directions. Anyway, I must have done something right, because I have no heating problems -- it idles at 38 degrees C, so I'm happy. I just wish there were some better photos/videos available someplace to show what it's supposed to look like. I was one very anxious newbie, I will tell you!
