    • Clean the old thermal paste from the cooler, CPU and GPU. It is best to use isopropyl alcohol and cotton buds or paper towel, but be careful not to go too hard on the chips.

    • Once you removed the old thermal paste its time to apply new one. Dont use too much thermal paste, just enough to cover some portion of the pad. If you have a spreader, use it. The thermal paste will apply evenly after you tighten the heatsink.

    • Last, put the heatsink back carefully and tighten the screws in order to ensure even pressure. Dont forget to plug in the fan cable.
