just a small dot on the cpu, then use a credit card or similar to spread it out, and only so much paste that it covers the cpu, very thin layer

and then use realtemp, coretemp, or hwmonitor to check the temps

put about a pea size amount in the center and mount the cooler

The old cooler MIGHT be a pain to get off so be careful as you might need to gently move the cooler left to right so it looses grip with the cpu.

HWMonitor is a good app.

dual core 65nm, looks a bit high keep under 75 will be good so i think you need better cooling
