    Yes, I have, click on the arctic silver 5 guide link in my sig. Shows exactly what I did with my lappy. Basically I removed all heat sinks and applied AS5 to the GPU, GPU memory, CPU, and MCH. Great results to by the way. Let me know if you have any questions.

    I concur, AS5 is great in comparison to toothpaste Gel that came on my processors.
