That 30 year IT guy said something about thermal paste that got me thinking

I was swapping a GPU for a client in Austin last week and the old timer next to me said "too much paste is worse than too little." He mentioned how a pea-sized drop on a CPU cooler actually spreads perfectly under pressure... has anyone else seen damaged boards from someone globbing it on?

Geez, how much paste did they actually find oozing out of the board?

Ten pounds of thermal paste from one board?
