10% less on both GPU or CPU or both?

GPU too little. Consider X method

 

CPU could be a little thicker and longer (line method)

I'd say at least 50% less on both, it is just going to ooze out the sides... but what do I know, other that I do not like cleaning paste off of those little chips.  Looking at the picture it looks like there is a bunch of old paste stuck in-between them already
