    • Clean the old thermal paste both from the cooler and the CPU. It is best to use isopropyl alcohol and cotton buds or paper towel, but be careful not to go too hard on the CPU.

    • Dont use too much thermal paste, just enough to cover some portion of the pad. If you have a spreader, use it. The thermal paste will apply evenly after you tighten the heatsink.
