Nah, it’s not necessary to do more than an X for larger CPUs or a pea for smaller ones. This is just thermal paste that’s dried up.
Yep, the X method has served me well for decades. I honestly don’t understand why some people insist on slathering on thermal paste like they were making a cake. An X and nice even pressure while you’re screwing down the heatsink is all you need.
