    Good Evening,

    A buddy suggested that I upgrade the fans for my new 17 R4, (7820HK, 1080), while accomplishing the mandatory repaste.

    Does anyone have the link for that Chinese(?) website by chance?

    Lastly, anyone do any before and after testing to see if it's worth upgrading?

    Appreciate any advice

    Unless you have an accepted form of payment and can use a chinese website, you cannot buy from taobao.
