Hello,
I just received my new i7-970. It came with a large heatsink and fan and a small syringe of thermal paste.
My question is about installing the heatsink/fan. The Intel instructions specifically state to deposit the entire syringe-full of thermal paste on the cpu. This amounts to at least a cc of paste. This seems to be a lot more than the "grain of rice" amount that I've seen suggested as the proper amount to be used.
Has anyone had any experience (good or bad) following these instructions?

Hello;
I recommend to check the installation video for your processor :

Now, in regards the amount of thermal interface material indeed is recommend to apply all the syringe , for more information check the following URL:
