    Being the nerd I am I have a big ol tube of AS5(not to be mistaken for ass :D ) and I was wondering it putting it on my CPU HS would give me a noticeable difference in temperature? And if so, is there a disassembly guide floating around that I could look at? Thanks in advance.

    *EDIT* I forgot to mention that I have a Sager 6630

    It may give you a 5-10 degree difference, depending on lots of factors. Dunno about disassembly, though. Best thing I've found to do is to take a piece of paper, draw out a rough depiction of the laptop from the bottom as you remove screws and other bits, and tape them down to the paper in the appropriate places as you remove them, so you don't end up with more parts than you started with ;)

    Heh, thanks for the info. I've taken apart my Inspiron 9100 before to upgrade the video card, so I think I might be able to figure this one out, I'll have to keep looking for a guide though.
