    hi, has anyone done a repaste on cpu and gpu?
    I had a chat with dell tech support earlier from the UK. he said warranty will be void if i have to do it on my own plus they dont call a tech agent out just for a repaste. they can changed the heatsink and repaste it but not doing the repaste only. as far as i know repasting is essential to keep cpu cool and repasting is at least once a year meaning ill ask dell for a new heatsink every year to get a repaste?

    We'll send technicians for that only if the machine is overheating. I'd check again the warranty terms of your country as opening your PC doesn't void your warranty in many other places.
