Hello. I purchased a used delidded i7-7700k and will upgrade my i5 2017 5k iMac. I want to relid the cpu and was wondering which Thermal paste is best to use besides liquid metal? (Previous owner used LM). Also this is my first time relidding a cpu. I have the delid/relid tool and will reseal with black silicone gasket maker. How much thermal paste should I use on the cpu die?

Help much appreciated. Thanks
