Thermal on EVO 212

[Deleted]

Just a really quick thread. Installing the cooler master hyper 212 evo. What method of applying the thermal paste would you suggest? I know everyone uses different methods, and the pea shaped dot is the 'best', but is there a better way for this cooler? I only ask because someone suggested 3 lines in a video.

It really doesn't matter.

As long as you have not too much, not too little, and don't have it in a stupid way (a thin line on the out edge, or something) you're fine. There is no 'best' way, despite what people think. It's pretty much the same. Semi-liquid substance pressed between two flat surfaces.
