    Does anybody know the appropriate screwdriver size to use to remove the torx screws from the bottom case on the 2017 RBP? I just acquired a 1060 equipped RBP and I would like to replace the thermal compound ASAP, thought it hasn't been running terribly hot, I know it will only improve with liquid metal.

    Aside: 165W is not enough for this computer.....like at all. I have a kill-a-watt measuring draw from the wall, and even with undervolted CPU by 160mv and undervolted 1060, I still see spikes into the 165-170 range, which is really unsafe for the PSU considering it is rated at 165W, having it draw more power than that is not good for the life of the PSU.
