Default Thermal Greasing you Chips, It needs to be done

It seems like now that AS5 and many other greases are coming out that nobody can figure out how to use them, let alone do it right, and i am out to tell you how!!

Words of Wisdom: PATIENCE, everone is just globbing it on and it makes a mess.
NEVER, unless nessary, TOUCH THE PART YOU PUTTING GREASE ON, the oils in your hand can seriously impede heat flow and cause rising temps
REMEMBER THAT AS5 takes 200 break in hours and you will see lowering temps over that time

What you need,
Your grease, and X-ato blade without the handle, Rubbing Alchol, some Q-tips and the chip that needs greasing.

What you do,
Im starting out as if you have loads of grease on the chip after you have taken it out of your system and you have the chip in one hand and the Heatsink in the other,

First, you take a Q-tip with rubbing alchol and rub the grease if the chip and the HSF, after all the grease is off (there may be some residue from where the old grease was and this is fine), let them air dry until they no longer have any alchol on them.

Second, you will need the grease and the blade, what you do is put some grease on the chip, what you do is make a VERY thin "layer" of grease on the chip until the entire surface has a layer of grease on it, make sure not to get any on the pins because this grease conduts electricity and will short things out (not good)

After this is all done, re-assemble it and your done!!
