[quote1269973060=Suftop]
how is Alfihar’s so much cooler!?
[/quote1269973060]Perhaps he’s in a cold ambient and hasn’t got the central heating switched on 😀I debated starting a new thread to ask this, but it fits the same topic so…
Has anyone yet tried to take their n210 apart to apply new thermal paste?
I was doing some reading that they might use the tape instead, and I have this nice new tube of AS5 that I bought a while back after lapping the HSU on my desktop…it’s almost full.
Wondering if it might help keep it cooler than the thermal tape that is probably on it now does.
Also wondering if doing so would void all my warranties of course, and not sure if it’s worth the risk…

Hmm well no central heating here, though the wood burners keep the house pretty warm. 😀Though this reminds me…

Although I don’t have an N210 (I have an NC10), I replaced the thermal paste on my processor and chipset with AS5.[quote1270115217=Suftop]Wondering if it might help keep it cooler than the thermal tape that is probably on it now does.

Yes it would likely void your warranty.
Though I don’t think it really makes much of a difference, at-least not when I tested it before and after (and then again a few weeks later).
