    Its not that hard...

    1) Clean the surfaces with Articlean or Isoprophyl alcohol

    2) Apply a rice grain of thermal paste on the CPU die.

    3) Spread a thin layer over the whole area using flat blade or something straight. Make sure you only put a thin layer!

    4) Reseat heatsink properly
