[QUOTE="Coconuts 500, post: 4545282, member: 250765"] Thermal paste isn't as necessary as some may think. It doesn't do much, and it is a terrible heat conductor. It certainly doesn't matter what "brand" or "type" you use. Just go with the cheapest you can find. Even mayonnaise will work (and I am serious here - but I do not recommend it)! The thing is, though, that it's a better conductor than air - and there will always be air between a heatsink and a CPU base, as the surfaces aren't 100% flat. It's a good thing to have, but not vital. Not having thermal paste won't be the end of the world as long as you have a properly installed and working CPU cooler. In your case, there's something more wrong. Either the fan isn't working right, or the heatsink simply isn't installed properly - which is the likeliest problem here. Almost always when having problems like these, the heatsink has not been attached properly. I noticed you're living in Norway, so I looked up a very, very good cooler for you, just in case. It's cheap, it's silent (it is literally the quiestest CPU cooler available - and inaudible during idle use), and its cooling performance is very high.

I rather enjoy a life of taking it easy. I haven't reached that life yet though.

You can make a post on the DS forum about your findings, and they'll do their best to respond. They have a GBAtemp account here, you know.
