Gelid GC Extreme paste + how to access GFX heatsink

Hey all,

I own a gigabyte p25w with an 870m, so due to the lappys age I decided to use the new gelid paste that everyone's been raving about, and I am happy to say I am idling at 29-30c in a 24c home. That is reduction of 16-15c off the stock thermal paste and 5c off of AS5. I could not be happier, considering I have a fetish for low temperatures.

What I was wondering was how to exactly make my way to my gfx card to apply the gelid thermal paste there. Here is a picture of before I applied the gelid paste (too much AS5, I know):



The gfx card is covered by the other heatsink that is still on the laptop, it is below the CPU heatsink, and the gfx card fan seems to be inaccessible as there are no screws on the other side of the laptop. I need to remove the fans before I can repaste the cards, btw.

Anyone have experience in tackling something like that? It looks like the manufacturer's "don't touch" plastic. Again, it's a gigabyte p25w. The p34 or newer gigabytes don't seem to have this problem.

Thank you so much guys!

 

I don't own one of those laptops but from the looks of it, the motherboard will have to be removed to change the paste on the graphics card, unfortunately.
