Some websites advise to apply a thin layer all over the core or IHS and then put on the HSF while some say you should do it the way you mentioned.
And I've read it's good to have the computer running for a few hours and then turning it off and turning it on after a while. So that the AS5 gets a chance to warm up, cool and then warm up again.
