| + | [title] Apply new thermal paste |
|---|---|
| + | [* black] Use your tube of thermal paste to apply a small drop to the middle of the processor die, about the size of a grain of rice. |
| + | [* icon_note] The mounting pressure from reinstalling the heat sink will usually adequately spread the thermal paste out, but some applications recommend manually spreading the thermal paste. Follow [guide|744|this guide|stepid=4032|new_window=true] for how to do that. |
| + | [* icon_note] If you accidentally get a little bit of thermal paste on the green PCB surface surrounding the processor die, don't worry! It won't cause any problems. |
| + | [* icon_note] You don't need to apply any thermal paste to the heat sink—only the processor. |
| + | [* black] The processor is now ready for the heat sink to be reinstalled. |
| + | [* icon_reminder] [guide|158549|Return to Step 8|stepid=332291|new_window=true] and follow the instructions in reverse order to reassemble your laptop. |
