See the attached picture. What is the gum like thing? Should I replace it with thermal paste? Thanks!
Update
Thank you guys! I replaced it with new thermal paste and my laptop is not burning anymore! This particular thermal pad is quite thin, maybe about 1 mm, so I just replaced it with thermal paste. See the temperature below! (I don't know why it doesn't detect GPU temperature).
May I asked because that is the most odd heat removal assembly I've seen, what did you pull it out of. – user88311 – 2013-06-29T21:34:42.200
@user88311: A SONY VAIO VGN-CR390. May I ask what is so odd about it? – LWZ – 2013-06-29T21:36:26.123
For a laptop cooling system, it looks quite like that in PS3's now, well guess I know where sony got it's inspiration for the design change. – user88311 – 2013-06-29T21:38:09.060
