hey guys! I just applied AS-5 to my xps 1530 and it worked fantastically! I am hoping to see a few drops in C's after i let it settle for about 200 more hours... I noticed that the that dell placed over the GPU was gross and needs to be removed... is it possible to apply AS-5 to a GPU and the GPU heatsink?.. if so, when i do it is it required for me to redo the entire processes of applying the paste to my CPU ( removing it, cleaning, etc)... ?

bump., shamelessly.

Yes you should replace the thermal paste whenever you remove the heatsink and yes you can do it on the GPU as well.
Here's a guide. It seems like the original link no longer works but luckily I had it saved so I uploaded here:
