*HELP!* Questions about AS5 install on northbridge and processor...

[InlineFive]

I can't figure out if I put a small amount of paste on the heatsink (more then for CPUs of course) and spread it paper thin. Or if I put the paste on the Zalman ZM-NB32J northbridge heatsink and then put that on the northbridge.

And also, the base of the ZM-NB32J is a little smaller then the nForce2 SPP Ultra 400 Chipset. Should I worry about this?

Thank you!

Bump!

The Arctic Silver site has a guide. Basically put a bit on your chip(s) and then let it spread via pressure instead of spreading it thin (which may introduce bubbles).

That doesn't seem very sure to me but whatever. I looked at the guide but I didn't find it very clear. I can't do that with the processor though. I don't like that because it might not cover the whole northbridge... Guess I'll do it the old fashioned way.
