    Am I understanding correctly that you put the paste on top of the plastic that’s covering the CPU? 😁 Pretty funny, heh

      Do cpu’s come with a cover sticker, now? They never used to.

      Anyhow, I believe by the looks of it that OP left the protective sticker on their cooler side, and not their cpu side.

            I understood it fine. I just said:

            the plastic that’s covering the CPU,

            rather than,

            the plastic protective sticker on their CPU cooler side, and not their cpu side

            Yours is marginally more correct, but mine is pragmatically the same thing. Come on, now. :⁠-⁠P

                Be a little pragmatic for god’s sake. What I said was basically the same thing. They left a plastic cover on their CPU and they put the paste on that. Dead simple. You could’ve just said yes, to an already rhetorical question by the way.
