I recently replaced thermal paste. Here a few pictures of it.
Result: 10 degrees less hot, and appears to be faster

Your laptop is shutting down because he's to hot. You got the message that he is shutting down because he is 90 graden degrees. Bad thing bro

You got this message? Please download http://www.alcpu.com/CoreTemp/ and give me a screenshot of this program when you are running a game.

Hey, so I've been having heating issues as well.  Browsing the Internet is usually in the 55-65C range.  I'm going to reapply thermal paste in the next few days.  Earlier in the thread it was mentioned that one should also add copper to improve the heat conduction.  Can anyone give me a fuller description of what exactly this entails, what I need, how to do it, etc.?
