Hi Guys, looking for advise on Repasting my Laptop,
I open the thing up about once a month and give it a clean out but to clean the dust from between the two GPU heat sinks i have to lift one of them off a but.
When you do theres a white pad between the metal work and the chips that pulls away and i assume that this is the Thermal Paste.
Just wandered if i was to repaste do i just take the heat sink off completely, remove existing paste and then apply the new stuff where the old was? Is it that easy?
The machine is still running great at the moment i was just considering for future or if i was to upgrade the GPU myself at some point. I dont see the point unless that stuff needs to be renewed after so long.
Any advise appreciated.
