Hi Team,

 

I have a couple of laptops that need a CPU re-paste -

 

There seems to be lots of different choices in thermal paste and thermal phase change sheets out there does anyone have a reliable recommendation please? 

 

Thanks Mike

Just fyi laptops are usually direct die so you may need to pay attention if the thermal paste you use is abrasive (diamond or metallic).
