    Hi there,
    I have a dv6-6091nr that's overheating, so I'm reapplying thermal paste to hopefully solve the problem.
    But, according to the laptop's manual, while thermal paste is used on the CPU, the graphics and Northbridge chips have thermal pads instead.
    Should I acquire thermal pads to replace them with, or can thermal paste be applied on them too?
    Thanks in advance!
