    Hello,

    I've been reading a lot about Thermal Paste/Grease and was wondering how I would come about to applying some to a G50VM-X1 (BestBuy Model).

    Right now, my GPU idles at 70C constantly.

    I'm not really tech-savvy in relation with laptop hardware components.
    The most I've done was to open up my laptop and using canned air to clean out dust particles from the insides of the laptop.

    Are there a picture guides to where to apply this thermal paste?
    Also, what brand can you guys recommend that I should use?

    Thanks in advance.
