    Hi guys just got my G72GX. Anyone know if theres an easier way to take out the heatsink over the cpu and gpu without taking out the entire bottom end? When I removed the plastic panel over the memory/fan/cpu/gpu it appears that theres a single plastic part from the bottom end that wont let me unscrew the sink from the gpu.

    If it has to be disassembled, does anyone have the steps?

    **edit** nevermind i found this youtube vid that should help. its for g71 but that model is very similar to the g72.

    YouTube - Asus G71GX Disassembly tutorial to remove graphics card.

    anyone know whats a good amount of thermal paste to put on a cpu or gpu? i dont want to put too much or too little.
