Remove the old paste with isopropyl alcohol, then apply with the dot process. Tiny dots of paste on AM4 CPUs. It’s better to put more than not enough. I use it on my AMD Ryzen 9 5900X with air cooler. It maxes out at 80 degrees (C)

You can start using your PC Immediately after applying and reassembling your PC. It does not need to dry.

Immediate results. Best way to apply is first clean with alcohol and non lint cloth to remove old paste on processor and heatsink on fan. Then apply a dot, about pea size, to middle of cpu. Place fan back and tighten, this will evenly spread the paste

You put a small dollop on the center of your cpu, the tube is actually labelled with dashes to show just how little you need. Then you put the fan down and it will spread from the pressure. Don't spread it yourself. Once everything is hooked up you can use it immediately.

The paste works immediately...as far as applying to your Water Cooler, I’d ask the company.

almost immediately after everything is put back together it will be at full efficiency, application is just a pea sized drop of thermal paste, which will spread out by the heat sink on your water cooler
