Do I have enough thermal paste for my CPU cooler?
Asked by

I recently applied thermal paste to my CPU cooler using the pea method, but I'm worried I might have used less than needed. Here's a picture of what I have left. Do you think this amount is sufficient for my setup?

Honestly, that amount is overkill. When you mount the cooler, the pressure will likely push some paste out the sides, causing a mess.
