Most of the heat is in the center from what I understand. When I apply my thermal paste, I only put one small dab about the size of a grain of rice, directly in the center of the die. After taking it off down the road, I see that the paste only spread to about the size of a fingerprint -- and the CPU had run pretty cool over its life.
