    I today conducted a total dissassembly and Thermal Compound repaste and would like to log my results on a weekly basis, this repaste is so far prooving to be my best. I would like anyone who is interested with any model of G-Series to compare Thermal Compound results in this thread using the diagram below.

    Feel free to post any G-Series Repaste result using any thermal compound but completing My Diagram below to show exactly what you are using so that others can compare different types of thermal compound against different setups.

    Here's mine. Kind of did a rush job in my repaste and put on more than what was needed. What's good about ICD is that if you put too much your temps don't suffer as much as some of the other compounds. Test done with laptop flat on my desk which has a black finish so that probably retains some of the heat.
