Thanks for the great guide.

Over the years I've lapped most of my heatsinks and it does make a difference. But the one thing you didn't mention was correctly applied thermal paste. It can also make a difference.

Hi,

I'm J from Guernsey (Google it) Had a w150hr for the last 3yrs and have just ordered a w230ss.

Hi,

I've just order my new 230ss Its a bit over kill. Should I use a laptop cooler all the time with this cpu.
