|  Thermal Paste on GPU....which method?
Ok I took apart my Ultra. I'm going to put some of my MX-1 the GPU and the ram and whatever else needs it.
Do I use the line or the blob method for the GPU? the GPU is larger than a CPU. |

Use a blob i guess since it's how most people do it.

I don't think it's vital. He just replaced his TP because his HSF covers both the GPU and the ram.

I smeared it. I tried doing the blob but I used too much doing it.
