| J_Allard said: Acetone + Q-tip to remove the old paste. Only things to really worry about when opening it up is forgetting where shit goes that you have to remove. To lay down new paste, I always put a little dot of new paste on each corner, then take an old credit/grocery store card, and spread it in towards the center. You want a thin layer, but not so thin that it offers no protection. |
thanks. i just happened to have the same question and saw this. I've replaced my thermal paste twice, both times with a drop the size of rice, and my pc is still 45º C sitting idle. It's time i tried the credit card method.
