Will do , as long its a thermal paste. Since TX3 is new I recommended that. It does not matter , apply it and temps should drop

@prasys
Ever tried putting the thermal paste onto CPU/GPU in laptop?? The one that usually they put thermal sticker ..maybe you got experience can share with us

@want
Well, i guess that would be it as Linux won't have any support from NV to create drivers for hybrid, even in Window rarely we see update for hybrid ones ...

Hi guys ~
Wanna know does DoX still provide drivers for XP ?

@fab
Sorry fab, Dox doesn't do XP drivers no more...he just modding Vista & 7 for the moment ..maybe you can try the 19x modded series for XP, some of them are quite nice

Thermal pads ? Its made of paraffin wax. On my u100 , there were not any (cheapo guys). Applying a bit of thermal paste should do the trick. But this requires some careful stuff

i'LL take a picture or two later on with my U100.

But what if there's a gap couple mm? Any suggestion to fill that gap?

Did the same thing with my friends Acer, need to put a bit of the thermal paste will fill up the gap...

Pictures explain everything ..can give us later on will do good

You mean by putting alot more to make up the height?
But isn't thermal paste meant to be as thin as possible?

@lee
No lah...mine just put a little bit of thermal paste onto the sticker, not much...and then i did bent it a bit so that it won't have much gap ...but need to be careful lor, wrong bent will cause temp shoot-up ..like BBX did

@monza: i think it's kinda easy to see one..if u over bend it, u can see the edge side of the heatsink(the further out part) bend upwards if u bend it too much, if u bend it nicely, then it would be u see the thermal sticker finally being pressed down and have proper contact with our GPU memory

You can actually inject thermal paste in a laptop ?
Now I'm interested...

just need to open the notebook, pretty much same with desktop
warranty is another story

Do the same way like a desktop ?
But laptop proc doesn't have a heatsink...

I suck at laptops ~ >.<

but for ppl like me with warranty over...hehehe..itchy hand is a must

got heatsink lah
this is when last time I open my acer


Attached thumbnail(s)

So that orange thing is the heatsink ?
OMG you are daring to open it up lol
I scared when I open it up I can't get the parts back in. >.<

the silver and the copper would be the heatsink
well, last time notebook is overheating... need some emergency measure

I see... Is it risky to inject thermal paste on a laptop ?

Well, by default, it already got its own thermal paste, but who knows what kind of it
As long you get the one non-conductive and didn't spill too much at the surrounding, should be fine.

I see... thanks..
BTW what model is your Acer ?
Can this be done to the s42 too ?
