is this a cass sunstein-esque cognitive infiltration thread (discrediting legitimate information by associating it with illegitimate info) or is op just a retard?   learn how to apply thermal paste. you're using way too much. just apply it to the center and let it spread out as you tighten the heatsink down or you'll end up cavitating the center which experiences the least pressure from said tightening. you'll also have too much material overall, making heat transfer suffer. thermal paste is supposed to be a very thin layer to transport heat to the heatsink efficiently. it should not have a heavy ridge around the edges like that or contacting the board, you're applying it like an ape. this advice is assuming you are just a legit retard and not doing sunstein's work. link for good measure.   sunstein#%22conspiracy_theories%22_ and_government_infiltration
