Ok, thermal paste seems to be the last frontier of computers that I'm not knowledgable in...Well I'm sure there is much more. 
Anyway on to the dumb questions. One thing I have noticed is that when I apply the paste to the CPU and fasten the heatsink...If I happen to pull the heatsink off again there is next to no paste on the CPU, it's all come off. I'm assuming this is not the case when the heatsink remains fastened.
Also, should the thermal past only be applyed to the CPU? Should it also be applied to the proper area of the heatsink?
Is there a link to a tutorial that anyone can leave for me?
Thanks,
Jeff
