You should go to the hard forum and ask these type of questions because you never know if someone here is pulling your leg.

Remove your heatsink/fan. Clean both mateing surfaces with pure denatured alcohol using a lint free cloth like a coffee maker filter. Place a small dab of thermal greese in the center of the heatsink surface and spread it around with your finger inside a plastic baggie. Clean off the excess with a clean coffee filter. Now place a small dab in the center of the heat transfer surface of the cpu. Remount the heatsink, jiggle the heatsink around a little bit.
