    Where are the posts or threads that talk about disassembling the m11x to apply arctic silver or something like that? I can't find them. Searched lots of posts in benchmark, owners and optimization.

    Anyone know by chance?

    Thanks,

    StevenX

    there was a post where someone replaced the thermal paste in his m11x. to get the heatsink off tho requires alot of work and its not really worth it because the cooling in the m11x is already very good.

    The system is already cool and you don't need to rip your system apart.

    Unrea; and everyone, thanks for your help. I was at Frys reading the link above, with arctic silver in my hands and just went.. NOPE! So I got a notebook cooler instead.

    Oh.. and yes.. frozen is good!

    Best Wishes,
