Hello
I had purchased my Clevo P775TM-1 with the RTX 2070 from Obsidian in early 2019. It seems they have since gone out of business. I wanted to do some basic maintenance on this laptop such as replace the thermal pads and thermal paste. I do clean the normal dust buildup in the vents every 4-6 months.
I know you're supposed to avoid using liquid metal compounds to avoid it spilling out and creating a short. Would the Noctua NH-1 be a good candidate ?
What thickness are the thermal pads supposed to be ? I haven't replaced them yet, so I'm worried they might have been compressed and measuring the thickness would yield the wrong size.
There is some dust build-up in the speaker grille which doesnt go away when I tried to clean using normal methods such as air can, small vacuum, brushing or wet cloth wipes. Any help appreciated.
Any other things I should keep an eye out for when I open it up ? The laptop runs fine, if a bit hotter and noisier.
Cheers
