Just wondering what you guys do to apply very very think compounds, like IC7 for instance? Ive used it once so far on a non WC'd system and couldnt believe how thick it was, I endded up just following the directions on their site, which reccomendded to put a pea sized amount in the center of the CPU and let the Heatsink/waterblock pressure squeeze it over the proper area.
But that really does seem to put a bit too much, it will never squeeze thin enough in the center if you use enough that would let it reach to the edges of the CPU when compared to a much thinner compound that you spread thinly over the whole thing.
Was considering using this for the GPU/GPU ram but now im not so sure, since I don't know if it can be spread thin enough.
