What's the best way to apply this paste for a Lenovo T61 laptop (standard intel graphics, 14.1") Many references to the drop in the middle?

I don't about that particular laptop but the standard is to try a pea-pod shape or like a thick grain of rice in the middle. Then put the heat sink back on, press it lightly. Now take the heat sink out and check how it's spreading. The paste should cover +90% of the surface area.

Be sure CPU is clean, no residue from prior builds.Add a Small Pea Sized amount of Thermal Paste.It should not be oozing out from under the cooler plate.

Im not familiar with that set up. But if you have access to the entirely exposed chip, then yes, all you have to do is apply a small amount in the middle and then spread it (like mayonaise) across the top of the chip until you have an even layer. A small 2" X 2" index card or something similar in thickness works very well. The Artic stuff is very forgiving. So it won't damage other components if it gets away from you. Easy wipe off before it sets.

Get the alcohol swab included, wipe away, of suggest try wiping it with included cloth if there is dust wipe again and let it dry by itself then take compressed air if you have and blow. After take the glass rip off back completely immediately put very close to screen and ASAP you get a good alignment lightly let down push center firmly and it does the rest if it doesn't do all bubbles use the squeegee, after pull the front flap off and you got a perfect glastr.

I just got my asus eee 1000h, installed sl.Lowest settings, before I start doing any tweaks, I'm getting about 7fps.Haven't got to try out the slvoice yet, but I can click on things inside the enviroment, which I couldn't ever get to work on the org hp mini note, I think that was becuase the hp mini note had a via chipset, which just wasn't that widely apectedI have a 2 gig ram card coming in soon, and I hope that gets me a few more fps out of my system.Will try to post again when I get that installed and tested

How do I say this...it's not sticky because it is suppose to be scraped on, I used a card to press/scrape it unto my laptop. I hope this helps?

I'm not sure, but guessing that you'd have to buy a second decal set and use the larger piece for the bottom. However, I personally wouldn't recommend covering the bottom of your laptop with a decal though. I think there needs to be adequate ventilation for the air vents to prevent your computer from overheating. Plus, you wouldn't typically see it since it's on the bottom. Just my opinion, hope this helps.

There are several ways to go about this with many variables involved (what are you trying to put on the screen, model/platform of your laptop, etc). I would recommending enlisting a local IT professional to assist you with this.

I am not sure but I would definitely give it a shot. This has helped my writs and my mouse from going all over the place. It doesn't stick to your laptop so you can easily remove it and it could be cut down, if need be. I was not sure how it would work when I purchased it but now I am glad I did. I'm sure it would be cheaper than purchasing a whole other laptop.

The 1.5g tube will definitely have enough to paste 2 jobs. You only need a little bit spread very thin between the processor and the cooling element

I have a hp laptop too and it would barely stick to mine. And constantly wanted to peel up on the corners. But it may have just been mine. It deep look really good once I finally got it on the computer.

I used a medium coarse pad and a mouse sander. After I used the buffing pad, worked great

You apply it to the computers processor by squeezing it out onto the processor then spreading it evenly around with the tip alone is fine, making sure 100% of the processor is covered with a thin coat but not too much or it will goo over when you tighten down the cpu cooler. The heat and screws holding the cooling unit to the motherboard/cpu will even out any areas that weren't perfectly smooth :) It helps the cpu conduct heat through the cooling unit :) creating a perfect bond with no air between.

It depends on the size of your laptop. If you have a 15 inch, I would say the 15 inch - unless you want workspace . However if you will have it at much of an angle your LT will slide around. Good luck! I do like mine - LOTS.

The heatsink or cpu cooler come with high quality thermal paste plus mounting for LGA 2011 and 1150. However, you need to apply the paste on top of the cpu. There are many videos on YouTube that shows you the proper way of putting it if you want to know how exactly it is applied on top of the CPU. To answer you question, it comes in a tube of about 50 ml if I am not mistken.

I got the same thing. Didn't know it actually fit until I saw your question. while the leg seems to be in the middle of the laptop, it may actually help with heat reduction. Seeing how this works...

Yes! Use a pea size drop on the cpu and then put the block on. Let gravity spread the paste.

There is a pre-applied thermal pad. I use the term pad, because it doesn't seem to be a paste in the normal sense of the word.

Depending on how close? get a computer/metric ruler out, Mine cleared my RAM (12gb) but the RAM cant the "fancy" type with heatsinks, just simple ddr2/3 RAM sticks, No extras to it. It does cut close in heighth clearance, but cools exceptionally well under stress testing for 12 hours using PK-1 Nano Thermal Compound. (WHICH I HIGHLY RECCOMEND.) I have been building and overclocking systems for 7 years roughly, I mainly work as a Network Security Admin, and Pen Testing. The best is preferrably a Thermaltake V2.0 Water cooling system, with a Thor V2 case. let me know if you need any more insight.
