How important is it to cover the entire CPU with thermal paste? I didn't think it was at all (as you only really needed to cover the centre) - is that right?

Which cooler do you have? If its the 212 the best way to do it is three strips down the aluminum bits between the heatpipes.

It's been a mystery how the new tri-gate technology would handle overclocks. I was hoping for better, but it seems it might be worse.

Tri-gate sounds FASTER not more stable. . .
