Applying AS3.. Question

[jmeyer2718]

Hey,

Im about to apply arctic silver 3 to my 1.6a. I just cleaned off the pad and am ready to go.. but I have a
few questions first.

I dont know what exact area of the heatsink is going to touch the chip. Can I just rub it on the heatsink
in the general area - a bigger area than the chip - to play it safe? Will it hurt anything?

Theres a small hole on top of the chip.. how do I apply the AS3 without getting it in there? Am I not supposed
to cover the entire top of the chip or what?

Thanks for the help!

No, put it on the core of the CPU only, apply the heat sink, and your good to good
