A little bored today so decided to see what the thermal paste under the heatpipe heatsink looked like. Following are some pictures:
Unlucky project for the day
Remove the pins that hold the heatsink assembly(6 on my board0
Naky board!!
Underside of heatsink assembly. The TIM seemed more like a rubbery material and was a pain in the but to get off on the middle. Let some alcohol sit for awhile and off it came
Thermal paste(AS5) on the mosfets. This took most of the time due to patience
Thermal paste(AS5) on north and south bridge.
Reassembled
I'm going to let it settle in since AS5 takes forever to cure and I'll let you know if and how much the temps have improved. Also need to find a good piece of software to monitor the temps.
