Question about thermal paste application methods

I keep seeing other techs glob it on like mayo instead of doing a proper pea-sized dot. Just had a guy bring in a gaming PC that was hitting 95C under load because the paste was oozed all over the socket pins. Anyone else run into this or have a preferred method that actually works?

Man that's rough, I feel for the guy. Thermal paste all over the socket pins is a nightmare to clean up. People really gotta stick with the pea method, it works fine.

95C sounds like a bad mount more than too much paste.
