I'm about to install an Athlon64 3200+ to a Zalman HSF and I was wondering what is the best / most efficient way to apply thermal paste to the setup. Also, with the Athlon64 there isnt a visible core like on the Athlon XPs so do I just put thermal paste on the whole top?

Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

depends on what thermal paste it is I guess. AS recommends a small dot in the middle of the cpu and let the hsf spread it out.
