Buy some thermal compound/paste and some cleaning alchohol. These can both be easily found online, Artic silver 5 or MX-4 are probably the best varients of thermal paste. Applying it is simple, but i will put a link to a video so that you know what to do - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-hNgFNH7zhQ Upvote 0 Downvote
