I like tinkering with computers and have a personal hatred towards phones and everything they represent (I daily drive an iPhone 7, or a 6, depends on which one works that day) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get decent thermal paste or a thermal pad for under $10, please don't try to substitute toothpaste as thermal compound.

Try Ebay. https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2380057.m570.l1313.TR2.TRC0.A0.H0.XArctic+MX-4+2019.TRS0&_nkw=Arctic+MX-4+2019&_sacat=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
