I used a small dot and smoothed it until it covered the CPU.. I reapplied a SMALL dab to areas that needed coverage.
I mean, I just used enough to color the top of the CPU.. and I know all to well about using too much, I've seen people goop it on to where it runs off the side of the CPU and onto the socket.. LOL! I've done that in my earlier days (before joining here.. haha ..I love this board..
)
It's idling at 34* now... waiting for it to cool down all the way.. And amazingly enough, Aspire was right (of course).. The CPU was reading 55* thru HW Monitor, and the GPU (Same loop) was only reading 36*!
I can't believe that liquid cooled down that quick by the time it hit the GPU..
