The Ultimate CPU Overclocking Guide!
This is how you change the heatsink on an AMD K8 or later based system. The computer in the video is the MTDX Black Max edition which the AMD Phenom II boxed cooler just couldnt handle this overclocked AMD Athlon 64 CPU, so I had to bring in the heatpipe cooler.

Thanks for the vid!
@UKSDragunov True, but you want to use as much of the processor’s heat spreader as possible to get the best heat transfer.
@CubeComputerChannel Actually the centre is where most heat is generated and where the "cores" sort of exist. Thus this is the best place for the paste to be.
Great vid. I learned something.
Man your computer is a mess, I think your airflow sucks very bad.
@CubeComputerChannel i use the vacum cleaner whit great results
to bad i can`t remove the fan it has no screws so maybe it has some protection caps who knows but i wasent`t going to remove the entire cooler 
anywas thanks
@selo2010 what I do is blow the dust out with compressed air, and if anything’s stuck to the fan blades, I use a paintbrush or paper towels to the out the rest.
hey man how do i remove hust the plastic fan i want to clean it a littele ?
@CubeComputerChannel
Actually it is a product that does that, it is a liquid for the most part.
( or a liquid with micro particles in it, like your silver paste)
Google "best thermal paste application methods" and check out the frozen CPU article.
I’ve tried many different ways myself too, and I have the same temperatures with the squashing technique and with spreading, so at the very least its more efficient : ]
@thepantherx12 Thermal compound is not a product that spreads under pressure. Putting a small amount on the center of the CPU may work somewhat, but realize that the majority of the thermal compound remains compressed in the center, resulting in not-the-best cooling performance. It may look even to the naked eye, but it’s not. The method that you see in the video is probably the best method. I have always done it this way, and so does my friend Tim who’s been a tech for around 2 decades.

@CubeComputerChannel
In my experience that is not the case, its spreads across the entire CPU surface evenly, just need to use the right amount.

@dwarfer777 No that is not how you do it. The paste will not properly spread across the CPU, it will just compact in the center, resulting in poor performance.

ANOTHER BAD VIDEO!!! you dont use anything to spread the paste EXCEPT the heatsink itself!!!
if you spread it with another item before the heatsink is placed then you will get bubbles and less thermal efficiency.
proper way: Put a rice-sized blob on the cpu and then put the heatsink on top of it DONT LIFT IT just place it down and lock it!!!
