I've always placed a small dab on the heat sink, smeared it around and then scraped it off with a business card. This will leave a thin film on the bottom of the heat sink.

I agree with Gecko's advise, but scrape might not be the right word to use--use the flat part of the card and gently drag it over the top of the cpu--you want a smooth coat--like a very smooth paint job too much and it gets a little messy--too little and you may have the sysem lock up now and then.

jester you should read this, AMD will not honor your warranty on your CPU if you use thermal grease, other than Shin Estu G 749 (and even that is only for evaluation purposes.) Please read this:
