Assalamualaikum and hi everyone.
hopefully everybody's doing fine.

In today's video I'll be showing how I repaste my Lenovo Legion 5.

For those of you not familiar with the term repasting, it's basically just mean replacing the old thermal compound and putting a fresh one in.

This begs the question why do it in the first place? Well, there are many reasons. Before we go into the reasons, for those who are not as familiar with regards to component cooling in general, thermal paste/thermal interface or thermal compound is a material that allow heat transfer between a cpu/gpu and its cooler.

the reason we need thermal paste is due to the micro imperfections on the contact surfaces that prevent good contact between these surfaces and causing inefficient heat transfer and therefore ineffective cooling. The thermal paste serve to fill in these gaps to ensure good heat transfer.

Now, thermal interfaces would eventually degrade and dry out(usually take years) and this would cause a degradation of thermal performance of your device. This is one reason to repaste.

Some repaste because they want to use better thermal pastes. Some did it because they think the factory did a bad job with applying thermal paste(or cheap out on thermal paste), but in the end it boils down to getting the best thermal performance from your device.

Anyway in this video I also showed some performance comparison before and after repasting and offer my opinion whether you should or should not attempt to repast your device.

By the way this is not a review or endorsement of the Artic MX4 thermal paste. It's just something that I have in hand.

This video is also not sponsored. Everything that I used in this video I paid for them myself.

Just so you know, repasting can void your warranty. If you want to try, do it at your own risk. I shall not be held liable/responsible for any damage that may occur to your device should you attempt to repaste your device.
