    Hardware Exchanging thermal paste?

    Hardware Exchanging thermal paste?

    It looks faded and I was thinking it might have been burned but if that is what you have done then maybe my worries are just extras. Any tips on removing the shield? or I should just ignore it? Pull off the copper tape and direct contact?

    Hardware Exchanging thermal paste?

    Hi, Thanks. I was more referring to the IEM shield for the processor. I saw some videos of people taking apart but it was badly bent. That is why a little worrying for me. It is my first attempt and I only have 1 switch LOL.

    Hardware Exchanging thermal paste?

    This is really an old thread. I read the entire part of it but still, no mentioned of a few items in details? 1. Can someone guide or advised me how to open the IEM shield or it is not recommended to do it? 2. If changing the pads for the inside the IEM shield, what is the size of the thermal...
