    I was bored today so I took apart my HGL30. Here are some pics of the motherboard and video card of the HGL30. I replaced the thermal paste with some Arctic Silver 5. It wasn't that hard to take apart but was a little harder to put back together. But I finished without any missing or extra screws. :D

    Another interesting thing is I looked up the RAM chips and it looks like they're suppose to be 400MHz but no one has been able to get theirs close to that.

    I guess I should have checked the temps before I did it. It's probably not that big of a difference.

    the copper heat sink is huge compared to the one on my asus, similar model.

    mine is um smaller than just the 90 degree turn part of yours.
