i need the exact instructions on how you applied your thermal paste on your p4 northwood. The arcticsilver website instructions don't include p4s, because p4s use a heatspreader not a bare core...

Please tell me how much aa/as did you use and how did you apply it?

I applied a paper thin layer of AS2 on the heatspreader using a plastic bag to spread the thermal paste. Just don't use too much or else it will hurt the heatsink performance. =)

The only st00p1d question is the one that isn't asked ;)
What boi said is pretty much it. Do it that way and you should have no problems.
