While building my PC, I've ran into sort of a predicament with how much Thermal Paste I should put and/or if I should spread it with an old gift card.

Can someone please help me out as I'm not too sure myself.

Products used:
Arctic Silver 5 Thermal Compound
i5-4670k
Enermax ETS-T40-TB CPU Cooler

Thanks

Put a pea-sized dot at the center of the CPU and then install the heatsink. This method gives the best contact. Don't spread anything!
