You're not going to brick anything. The worst thing that would happen is that they'd run hotter and you'd need to redo the TIM application.

That's how I used to do it lol. But then I got paranoid that was contaminating the tim so I would stretch a piece of sandwich baggie, stretch wrap or trash bag over my finger tip (whichever was closest at hand). Then squeeze a tiny dollop of tim onto the ihs and smooth it around. Ceramique became my go to because it spread so much better than arctic silver and I didn't have to wait for it to cure. I still kind of employ the same method but now I use a spatula... haven't quite mastered the spatula method yet.Just tried something new based on another user's question. See the following.
I used very little TIM and was able to spread it out very evenly.
When applying TIM gets a little too personal...
Ok this is one TIM application method I haven't seen tested before. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/OF1nO_nN3fw Pros: Thinner and more consistent application. (not too thick) Cons: Finger cancer? Thoughts?www.techpowerup.com

I've used practically always the dot method*, LM TIM is the only one I spread as it's supposed to.
* on few cases, I've used the line method.

What about cornering the die when I'm tightening the screws on the cooler?

Don't tighten them with gorilla strength. Never killed a GPU when reattaching a cooler - just calmly get the screws to thread in opposite corners first.
I know it's an useless tip for you, but with a common sense, as a noob teen I had no problems installing then-popular Zalman VF700s for cards with a bare die.

Those were the times! Zalman and the Arctic Accelero series FTW!
Thanks for the tip, though. I'm in the mood to dust off one or two of my spare cards and try it out right now, but the only paste I have at hand is a tube of TG Kryonaut which would be a waste.

doesn't cost that much over 4g, and is enough for hella many installs.

That one is a good TIM.
Be gentle and...
...this. Careful work and you'll be fine.
What? Putting TIM on an IHS is not difficult regardless of the motherboard or case.
