Alienware m16 r2 re-paste.

Today I took the bottom cover and rear I/O cover off my Dell Alienware m16 r2 to change out the factory thermal paste. My m16 r2 was the same as my g15 5511, tons of thermal paste. It took over 20 mins to clean it all off. I re-pasted it with Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut, I've had very good results with it so far. FYI if your working on any electronics, unplug them, and unhook the battery.

What kind of improvements are you getting? I repasted mine but for some reason mounting pressure on the cpu seems off.

I'm seeing over 8'c lower on the gpu and 5 to 6'c lower on the cpu. When gaming on performance mode, the fans are running 60% to 70% speed now in stead of 80% + most of the time.

@@trevork4066 ok thanks then there is something wrong with my paste job getting lower than average Cinebench r23 scores and the cpu is only pulling 70 watts in performance mode.
