^ I'm afraid of letting the Heatsink spread it out.. The liquid tubes kind of push my waterblock off to the lower right when I first slide it over the screws, until I can get a spring, limiter, washer and nut on the top left. It's a two handed deal, and I can't let go of it until I get a couple nuts on. I'm afraid of it pushing it to the upper right. I smeared it on with my finger last time, just enough to color the top of the CPU..
And I didn't use much alcohol, just some on a rag, then wiped it a couple more times with the dry side. and I had to walk across the house to get my wallet.
