Title: Laptop Thermal Paste
Post by: Ben. on October 18, 2009, 12:58:22 PM: Hey guys, Im a noob when it comes to the proper hardware etc of computers/laptops.

Anyways, Long story cut short, I took the heatsink off, and looks like it needs some new paste, I just dont have a clue what to get :S.

So if you guys could grab me a link of ebay of a good thermal paste, and step by step instructions on how to apply it etc, that would be amazing :D

Thanks in advance :) :)

When I do it, shall i remove what ever is on there, then just squirt this on, and reassemble?
