Hi,
hey buddy you can do, but the grease removers an un-necessary item. this stuff will wipe off with a soft cloth.
or at worst, a very blunt plastic scraper.
you only need the tinyist amount of thermal paste.
I,d Suggest ( E-Bay )

go at a computer shop to buy thermal paste. i suggest arctic silver 5.
then salvage a computer heatsink. take one from graphics card or northbridge because cpu heatsink a wayyy too much big. its not gonna completely solve your pprobleb but by managing the overheat you tv gonna be usable
This is one of the most common problems with Toshiba laptops we deal with. Indications of laptop overheating problem:
The keyboard and the bottom of your laptop are very hot when the laptop is working.
The CPU fans are working all the time at maximum rotation speed and operate much louder than before.
The laptop suddenly
shuts down by itself without warning. When it just started, the laptop
was shutting down after 1-2 hours and how it shuts down after 5-10
minutes of operation.
The laptop works
fine when it runs idle, but shuts down as soon as you start using any
memory demanding applications (DVD player, image editing software,
video editing software, etc.).
Solution:
If the CPU heatsink
is not clogged with dust and lint completely, you can use canned air
and just blow it inside the laptop through the openings on the bottom
and on the sides. It’s nice as a precaution measure, but it might not
work if your laptop already has a problem and the heatsink is
completely clogged.
Open the laptop
case, so you can access the CPU fan and the heatsink. In some cases you
can access the heatsink through the latch on the bottom of the laptop.
Sometimes (for example Toshiba Satellite A135) you have to open the laptop case all the way down.
Carefully disconnect
the fan cables on the system board and remove the fan. If the fan makes
unusual sound when it spins (grinding sound), I would recommend to
replace the fan.
Clean the fan and the heatsink with compressed air.
I would also recommend removing old thermal grease from the CPU and applying new grease for better heat conductivity.
BYY A VERY EXPENSIVE COOLER and some very good thermal paste suck as arctic silver 5.
run the pc with the case side off
clear all the dust out of your PC
Make sure the interior of the case is uncluttered and airflow is unobstructed
the problem is the nVidia GPU. it often overheats. there was a recall for this computer a while back. the recall has ended, but just so you know, you need to find a way to better cool the GPU. a copper shim between the GPU and the heat-sink will do wonders for you. apply Arctic Silver Thermal Epoxy to the shim and attach it to the heatsink. then, you need to use arctic silver 5 thermal paste on the GPU (about .2 grams should cover it) and reattach the heatsink to the board. while you are at it, replace the CPU thermal **** with the as5 thermal paste. my GPU is running now between 58 and 66 C. its really high still, yes, but the computer will not longer shut down because of overheat. get a laptop cooler for this thing too. it will not survive a hot summer day. i am absolutely positive.
the temperature show in windows is not right sometimes. enter cmos setup by press del(or f2) open system helth to see the right cpu temperature and voltage. still over heating? you need a better heatsink and don't feget use some heatsink compounds.
Depends what you intend to do with your computer, if its lots of gaming, and pushing your pc to its limits, you will need a good quality thermal compound (arctic silver), if its just normal stuff a cheaper heat sink compound will do, i use Servisol, its cheap and works well
From the word itself it is a thermal paste that can hold the CPU and iot helps out to prevent the heat coming from the processor, when the cpu fan operate/spin it also that helps that processor to cool down.
You may try a toothpaste as a substitute for it you will need a "white base toothpaste" just put only a small amount into it.
hey there, first of all, just want to make sure you cleaned and reapplied thermal paste after removing heat sinks (arctic silver 5 the best). Next, do a deep CMOS clear (shorting out the pins on your mobo) followed by booting 4-5 times continuously while holding the INSERT key. This ought to get you back into your BIOS. Good luck, let me know if you need more help. seth
It is important to use good quality thermal paste like Arctic Silver. You only need a very small amount on the heat sink. Too much is as bad as none at all. You care just trying to create a thin layer of thermal paste to fill in the tiny gaps between the processor and the heat sink. If this does not help an aftermarket heat sink with more fins and a better fan might be needed.
okay thanks Mike.
