What should I use as a replacement for the factory-installed thermal pad on the northbridge of a ThinkPad X60? I don't see anything addressing this in the ThinkPad X60 Hardware Maintenance Manual.I think my options are: 1. a new thermal pad 2. a heaping mound of thermal grease 3. copper shims stuck together with thermal grease A new thermal pad would be ideal—but where do I get one, and do I need a certain kind? Thermal grease is readily available, but using that alone sounds treacherous. And copper shims sound popular among overclockers, but that apparently risks damaging the CPU. What do most people do after removing a ThinkPad's heat sink? Andrew
What are you trying to replace? "Thermal pad" isn't a term I know of, for thinkpads. --STeve Andre' _______________________________________________ Thinkpad mailing list [email protected] http://stderr.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/thinkpad
