Thermal Paste on laptop

km991148

Hi,

I am just about to replace the palm rest on my xps 15 930.
Looking at the guides I essentially need to take the whole lot apart, which will mean separating fans/ heat sink form cpu and gpu.

I guess if I am doing this, I should replace the thermal paste?

Any particular type I should get or will any old stuff do?

I forgot to order this so will need to find it in Dublin this weekend -

Will this do?

PC world also have the liquid metal, but I dont really want to be using that on a laptop.

You should definitively replace thermal paste.

Prices are miserable to compare to what you pay if CPU/GPU goes "belly up"

Brand reviews on google

Personally using Arctic MX-4(other opinions welcome)

ye - thought I should replace - I just didnt think about it when I was buying everything else.

Kind of stuck with what I can find tomorrow - but new anything will probably be better than the 5 y o gunk thats on it!
