Default Best method to apply Arctic MX-3
I'm gonna assemble my Liquid Cooled system in a few days, and I've researched and found a lot of ways to apply TIM.

I wanna know what is the best method/methods to apply Arctic MX-3 to a screwdown waterblock.

that's for a Dual Core

I guess I should've mentioned - for the Core i7. surely the 4 core arrangement requires a different method for optimal heat transfer...

Oh, forgot to mention, apply the thermal paste vertically just like the Core 2 Duo. If you want input from others, read this thread.
