Arctic Silver 5

[sparka]

Hey, I was just wondering how much Arctic Silver 5 thermal compound I should put on the IHS of the CPU.
I've heard that on these forums, people are suggesting about a 1/3 grain rice.
However, the Arctic Silver website calls for about 1 1/2 grains of rice. I'm not sure which one to choose, so I'm asking you.

How much do you think should be put on?

Thanks in advance

How about just a grain of rice.

That's about what I have on mine.
