Morning :)

Bummer Oz, I don't envy your task.

Yeah, the pasting itself isn't so bad, but it just sucks in a laptop. Especially this one. You have to do pretty much a 100% complete disassembly just to get the heatsink off. It runs a little hot anyways - I'm clocking a 2.2GHz chip at 3.1GHz - but not this hot. Judging from some data I dug up on this same build, I should be able to knock almost 30C off the loaded side. So it's more than worth doing.

I tried playing a graphics heavy game on lowest settings & I tripped the overheat protection on it - this machine will shut down a degree before the CPU starts throttling.
