And why would you do this? The risk of messing up is surely bigger than the potential gain? The difference between the various types of thermal paste is minimal - 1-2C at most. You run the risk of voiding your warranty, or breaking something or any one of a number of other manifestations of Murphy's Law.

Lol ! He wont break anything if he knows what he's doing! But if you havent done that before please dont tryto do anything at your own or atleast ask someone who is into that to watch you doing it so he can easly correct you if you're doing it wrong(its nothing hard,it's easy job but..) .
Good luck!

If he knew, he wouldn't be asking. On that basis my advice is sound.

Knowing which paste would do better and knowing how to just change your thermal paste is totaly different...Aint gonna argue about it but you aren't right in that case IMO :)
