If you have the correct compound then its important that you make sure to
clean both surfaces, Processor and Heat sink before applying the compound.
You need something like Isopropyl Solvent to do the cleaning
I use a smear of compound only.

Subject: [The Computer Hardware Technician] Application of thermal compound
for processor
I have disassembled (using Dell's online service manual) two Dell Inspiron
9300s and combined them into one. Because I had to separate the heat sink
from the processor (2.13 Intel Celeron), I had to reapply the thermal
compound to the processor before putting the heat sink back on. Everything
works great except that the computer now runs at 233 mhz instead of 2.13 ghz
From what I know about computers and the heat sink, I am pretty sure the
problem is my application of the thermal compound.
Before I spend big bucks to take my machine to a shop, I need advice about
how to apply the compound correctly. I've read and printed out several
online places where it tells how to do it.
I know the problem doesn't lie with my had drive, as I have a new hard drive
and I have a home network with an AT&T gateway and I have a computer
firewall and I have constantly running anti-virus software and anti-spyware.
Can you give me some advice? How thin does the application have to be?
