each person has their own way of applying thermal paste, best is to follow the thermal paste manufacture's recommendation. if i remember right, arctic silver's recommendation for a c2d was a thin strip across the die, and just lay the heatsink on, which will spread the paste evenly, no need to get messy spreading it urself.
