I actually put a medium dot in the center, and 4 smaller dots evenly distributed about 0.75 cms from all edges. I use the AC MX-1 paste, which is extremely thick and it seems to work very well.

I've got AS5 on my chipset, GPU and CPU.

 

Dot on the CPU, thin layer on the GPU and chipset.

 

When I get some compressed air I'm going to take my whole system apart, dust/ clean it and reapply AS Ceramique to everything in a small layer. :)

Heat spreader - dot in the center.

 

Naked core - thin layer.

 

I use a single -edged razor blade. For me, it does a better job for me than a plastic card.
