[QUOTE="Firewalker, post: 8727475, member: 676743"] Nope not supposed to be that way. Those pre-applied pastes never paste never contact correctly. When doing the past now. I take the CPU out of the motherboard very carefully of course. I clean and purify the CPU with a small soft cloth. Don't want to do that with it in the motherboard just in case. I then apply the paste to the cpu with a small thin layer so the entire top of the CPU is covered, don't get it on the sides and if you do clean it off with that soft cloth. Double check that there is enough on there, make sure nothing is on the side. Clean of course the cooler with the cleaner and purifier with a few drops wipe it off with the cloth. May take a few drops and cleaning of the cloth as that stuff can be a pita to get off sometimes. Once you double check everything a couple times put the cooler back on the CPU carefully, lock it into place and let it sit for a couple hours so it has time to setup. Any questions text me! [/QUOTE]
