• Should I apply more thermal paste?

  I got a new Dell heatsink for my desktop Studio XPS 9100 (i7 960 processor).  The new heatsink came with a thin layer of fresh thermal paste, completely covering the surface of circular contact.  The new thermal compound was protected by a green plastic above the contact area Cap. I had already bought a tube of Arctic Silver 5.  I must:
  1. install the new heatsink without adding any money Arctic to the CPU as the contact on the heat sink surface is covered? or,
  2. Add a vertical line of the Arctic Silver 5 to the CPU, and then install? or,
  3. remove the factory thermal paste and aim Arctic Silver 5 the heatsink from the CPU to avoid the mixing of the two types of paste?
  I'm leaning towards alternative #1 since I guess that Dell is familiar with this paste to apply and how to apply.  Any ideas?

  I'd go with #1 too.

  Probably, you want to clean the old thermal paste on top of the processor before installing the new heat sink, but do not remove CPU in its socket.

  You can google for various methods remove the old thermal paste. If you use a solvent (e.g. isopropyl alcohol), do so carefully so it doesn't drip on the motherboard, or other components.

  And make sure not to touch the surface of the radiator after you remove that Green Hat.

• HP Probook G1: thermal paste and buffers

  Hello, I write here because I couldn't find anything on the subject in the manual, at least he said thermal material which can mean thermal paste but also thermal pads. If I open the HP Probook 450 G1 to clean dust, change the thermal paste on the processor unit, do I need to buy for the thermal pad to the GPU, and if I need tampons and not only stick, how big exactly (how thin - 0,5 mm, 1 mm ar even 2mm)? Thanks in advance for your help. It's always nice to have a professional guide you a bit in these specific areas.

  On the CPU and under the radiator, anywhere that is metal on metal, you will install thermal paste. On video and, possibly, the main chip of I/O, you will usually have 'pads' thermal that are made a composed like rigid silly putty. On some models, there is even a thermal "pad" on the CPU. If you are careful with those you can simply reuse. Don't put thermal paste on them. When the manual talks about heat 'material', this means the pads. When you remove the heat sink, it will be obvious when it is metal on metal and where it's a towel. Metal to metal contact points must be cleaned and have composed again applied. Cushion points should just be kept intact and reinstalled.

  Personally, when I rebuild a laptop, I don't like these thermal pads and I remove the protections and use the material of copper shim and you will sometimes need to use more than a wedge to make the heat sink have just the right connection. It must make good contact, but not to distort the heatsink. But if you use the copper shims you will need to use a thermal paste (for example, Arctic Silver) on the points above and below the shims. Cooling performance is much better with shims.

• Equium A60 overheating issues - thermal paste fix

  Hello

  Recently, I experienced the same problems of overheating seen by many others on this forum. I even found this forum searching for a fix for the problem.

  * This announcement should be used as a guide only - repairs are undertaken at your own risk *.

  Now, my laptop is sitting next to me, idling at about 50 degrees - which is a massive improvement on the 64 degrees it was yesterday!

  To resolve this problem, I used the method to blow all the dust from the orifice (covered many messages in this forum). However, I also dared to disassemble the laptop and give it a THOROUGH clean. It is a process long and complicated - but not beyond everyone. Firstly - I used this found here guide to disassemble the laptop - http://www.irisvista.com/tech/laptops/ToshibaA65/satA65_1.htm - be sure to keep * ALL * the dismantled parts!

  Once this done, you will find with the main card exposed. After that, I undid the screws that keep the TFT on the hinge and separated it from the chassis, while he was in two parts. Then, I removed gently the connector TFT from its place on the motherboard. There is a small screw, an additional wire to the TFT Ribbon to the chassis - I left it on, as I could not? t remove it! Then, I removed the Ribbon for the touchpad (carefully!) and carefully lifted the plastic all silver, away from the chassis part. Then I disconnected the power switch of the card mother - and completely taken off the plastic part.

  Now, the heat sink everything will be displayed. From there, it gets a little more complicated - and consists of removing your radiator and the processor. If you are not willing to do that, or just think you don? t want to tinker with the "inner workings" - have a good clean around the parts that are exposed and then replace all the parts you have subscribed. For people who have problems of overheating worse - the following steps worked for me very well.

  Presentations will be the whole radiator and fan. The silver on the metal heatsink screws are numbered - and I removed these sequentially. Then I unplugged the fan power cables and removed the screws at the right end of the fan. The heatsink should now clear the chassis lift, exposing the processor set. Then, I took the processor out of the chassis. You should now have a processor and a heatsink in front of you. The two should be a gray paste, gunky. This is known as the thermal paste and ensures a dispersion of heat from the chip on the radiator. On my parts, dough was propagated by the heat and on the sides of the chip - shifted far from where it was most needed. Now, I didn? t actually have a spare block when I took it apart last night - so I'm a plectrum guitar and smooth paste heatsink of heat and the chip on the surface of the chip. Once I covered the chip in a level amount of dough, I placed in the chassis and refitted the heatsink. Finally, I replaced everything what I had - and the powers of the laptop on the property.

  I realize that this might not work for everyone - I had nothing to do last night, and it was a ditch last try to improve the management of the heat of this laptop. Fortunately for me it worked. I am looking for a thermal paste today, so that I can make a good application of paste on the chip before that I re - assemble again.

  Of course, if you have a warranty on the laptop, it is not a good idea to open it up and execute this method. I recommend that people who have confidence in the performance of this procedure to try - it? s not dangerous - but you can mess up the inside of the laptop / your processor, if you're not careful.

  Good luck!

  Hi Samuel

  First of all, I want to thank you for this very detailed and long ;) description.
  But as you say if the warranty is valid the user shouldn't? t open Notepad and do something. In this way the service guys should check. Then if people don't have any experience in this method they shouldn't? t do that, because it might be possible that something different is going dead.
  However, thanks again.

• HP 15A 103tx: deleted unconsciously thermal paste from surface of cpu and gpu.

  Hello
  Last Sunday I accidentally poured alcohol on my laptop I went and cleaned my laptop. While cleaning I have unconsciously remove thermal paste from surface of cpu and gpu and now my laptop shows lines and points as a TV screen when it is a bad sign. I went to a local store of den the guys checked my laptop and the screen is fine, but something's wrong with the video card. I googled and just to know that I removed the thermal paste that must have been stuck back after cleaning.
  Please help what should I do now?
  After starting the laptop starts "auto den, but nothing happens then."
  Help, please.

  The guarantee has disappeared while they charge you for it and fat. Of course, you know how to get there because you did once before.

  Use things like:

  http://www.Amazon.com/Arctic-Silver-high-density-polysynthetic-compound/DP/B000OGX5AM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&QID=1454709376&SR=8-1&keywords=Arctic+Silver

  Apply it on the heart of processor and the flat surface of any piece that comes in contact with a metal part of the radiator, not the parts affecting flexible. Apply a point the size of a BB in a gun to air. You can send it with a spatula as thin as possible plastic until it covers. A little goes a long way, as long as get you coverage.

• What thermal paste works well for Satellite A200?

  Hello

  I have the problem of heat for months. I have tried serval OCZ Freeze extreme conductivity compound thermal times there worked in the first week. But the second week, it became worse and worse until the laptop could not start. Someone has suggestions thermal in which the brand name paste works fine for Satellite A200?

  Thanks in advance,

  Hello

  I didn't change the thermal paste on my laptop Toshiba still but on my desktop computer, I use Arctic Cooling MX-3. I also read some tests on the Internet on the thermal fat and MX - 3 is still a better. Grease thermal OCZ is also good but the Arctic Cooling surpasses the OCZ.

  In addition, it is also important to clean the surface of the heatsink and processor. So, I can recommend the ArctiClean cleaning kit. Use Google to find some online shops where you can buy it. If you can ensure that all of the old thermal grease is removed properly.

  Good bye

• Thermal paste change void the warranty?

  I know what may seem like a stupid question but opening up a laptop to a vacuum of change (since the current seems to be terrible) guarantee thermal paste?

  I wouldn't really take the laptop all the way to a service center because it is an operation I can easily accomplish on my own.

  Yes, it will void the warranty. Support action that can be made by the owner of the laptop of RAM and HARD drive change. No more than that. Disassembly of the laptop should be done by authorized personnel only.

• HP Pavilion ZV5000z thermal paste

  Is there a video or instructions step by step on how to renew the thermal paste in this laptop?

  This one is pretty good. Your processor may be slightly different. It is a 'lid' processor with a metal cover on the die of the entire processor. Your perhaps without eyelids, where you can see the Green circuit part printed outside of a metal core. I posted a picture of this kind of processor in response to another of your questions.

• HP4530s: HP4530s - time to change the thermal paste

  Hi all

  can you please help me to decide if now is the time to change the thermal paste on my processor on laptop HP 4530 s. I have this laptop for almost 5 years now and lately I noticed significant overheting. Of course, the fan is always on. Home, take a look at the screenshot of Speedfan application. As you can see Core 0 (I guess that's the CPU and sometimes reaches more than 60 ° C).

  Since the fan was cleaned not so long time ago, I thought I'd give laptop to some experts to disassemble, remove the radiator and change the thermal paste. I've seen many of these videos on you tube.

  I have win 7 pro installed on this laptop and is mostly used for surfing the web, MS office and youtube.

  What is your opinion?

  Thank you!

  Thank you for your help Hüffer. I also found on many places that these temperatures are almost normal. However, given that the laptop is almost five years I decided nevertheless to change thermal past and for cleaning the air in detail.

  Is there not a lot of dust in the fan or heat sink. My firend exchanged thermal paste and after the test, the results are given in the following picture. Core0 temperature never exceeds 50 C. The test is carried out after an hour with the same content to youtube. The lapopt is not really hot on the side left (where are placed HDD and the heatsink) more. I think it was the right thing to do, something like a review.

  

• Thermal past on the GPU
