ahhh i forgot to clean up the heatsink maybe got dust trap inside there . i just remember when was halfway assemble it back...nvm will do again next time













This is how the stock thermal paste looks like. almost nothing left


After i clean it with zippo oil with cloth. shiny again. and im using Artic Silver 5 for the paste.

ezzydamvp, was it hard for you to repaste?

What is the hardest part of opening the laptop?

@ezzydamvp

Perhaps you can demo to us by showing to us on how much we should apply the thermal paste as I never done it before.

Oh yea, have to clean it Zippo oil before we apply the thermal paste?

If you do it carefully(follow the guide) and with all the nescessary tools, then its not hard.
hardest part is to flip the motherboard as u might need someone to help u hold the motherboard while flipping it.
Other than that all was easy. done it around 2 hours. but i forgot to see if there a dust trap inside the heatsink

for the thermal paste amount just put it bigger than a piece of rice. then u put back the heatsink and let it spread. after that u open back the heatsink to see if the spread is perfect.

yup need to clean it with some alcohol type coz it easy to vaporised. so i use zippo as alternative.

usually how long needed to repaste again?
why many laptop almost din repaste at all, but asus g-series i saw many review on repaste?

the default thermal compound dun seem to be handling the heat so well...

i ve done so even on my N81Vp...

Hmmm, dont know should i do this or not.

Your N81Yp is probably easier to do.

G73 is quite hard, and G53 is even worse.

well, it's pretty easy to do, granted... everything comes with screws that re easy to spot...

planning a major overhaul now that the warranty is over soon...

boy am i glad it's not so complicated...
