lets continue discussion

Only could find thermal paste at shop, none of the sticker

selling for how much?

bending the cooling system might fill the gap

perhaps,
after some thinking, even if I tried on my acer, I can't measure the temp since none for intel gpu
and trying it on others laptop, not feasible...

prasys, what about Tuniq TX-2? Currently using that. Would TX-3 make any changes?

Making me wanna try TX-3.
Any idea how to fill the gap without using the sticker?

Doubt if using hammer would make the heatsink touch the GPU since its would give kinda an angle, not letting fully contact with the GPU

ehm, what about using aluminium foil, fold it up to square then put some paste.... Would it transfer heat better than the sticker?

Another excuse for a new notebook, no?

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

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

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

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


Attached thumbnail(s)

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

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.

Acer Aspire 5551 ANWXCi, as stated on my sig
S42 sure can, can say all notebook should be able, as long you manage to open the notebook and get access to the cpu and heatsink...
BBX already opened S42 before, can ask him how

tried it, not working much XD
its has much better usage in rerouting the heat path from hitting the hand

Wonder how it would work if without cord
Doubt it would be wireless
