clkgtr Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 Hi, I recently open up my good old Inspiron E1705 and cleaned it up thoroughly. I replaced the thermal pad on the CPU heat sink with Arctic silver 5 Thermal Paste. The temperature of CPU came down from 65-70C during normal operation to 35-40C. :)). I wanted to do the same with the Graphics card too, but I was unable to remove the heat sink :). I tried and gave up after a few tries as I didnt want to break anything. Can someone guide me how to remove the heat sink on the Geforce go 7900 GS? Thank you Best Regards, clkgtr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACP0WER Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 I think you can't seperate the heatsink on Dell Notebook Graphics Modules. I saw that they were soldered together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read somewhere that you could bake the card in an oven, and the solder comes off..and then u can remove the heat sink. Is that the only way? I'm not too comfortable doing that :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
