Einleitung

The fix, I place a thin alloy shim between the existing heatsink & chip, with a good quality thermal paste, I always use artic silver 5(never lets you down)

    • This is a complete top half strip down to fix (takes me less than 30 minutes)

  2. T6XGV5BM1AjoybNA
    • this is the culprit, as you can see the shim can easily overheat & go concave lifting off the chip.

  3. cLwVYEN5uLKGjCXG
    • cut a thin piece of alloy to the same size as the existing shim, i used an old alloy door push plate(easy to cut) & is the ideal thickness

  4. 4nQNV2SDf1DUh6HF
    • Thoroughly clean the chip with pure alcohol, then apply an even spread of good quality thermal paste(Arctic silver 5) will never let you down

  5. BF2EPq4PrY5LvnZA
    • THen apply more thermal paste to the top of the shim

  6. cPnUQdk3Ty4aZ6rK
    • The new alloy shim is under the existing thin shim. I've done more than 20 of these repairs & had 100% success rate I always do the same to the CPU (might as well your already in there).,

    • This is the CPU with the new alloy shim fitted.
