Hi guys

I have opened up my sony vaio vpceb3L9e laptop to remove and re-apply fresh thermo paste on the graphics chip.

I've now have discovered that my model does not have a heatsink on the GPU, can that be right?

My CPU has a heatsink but NOT the GPU

What can i do to keep the graphics chip cool, to prevent it from overheating or causing any display problems.

Would really appreciate speedy help from all members of toms hardware community

Thanks

Adam :??:

Are you having problems with overheating right now? If your CPU/GPU isn't overheating there is no need to touch anything. But on desktop motherboards the Intel GMA X4500 chip has a heatsink but on laptops they should just have a copper cooling "pipe" making contact with it.

Yeah I don't think that is right. I am not sure about your technical abilities so don't take this as an insult but......
Are you sure you are looking at the GPU?
Can you snap a picture for us?
Is this an actual GPU or a integrated solution?
What are you trying to accomplish here? Why are you digging around there in the first place?

Thank you guys for your replies

Sony Vaio
Model: VPCEB3L9E

I have been having display problems with my Sony vaio laptop, the symptoms are stated below:

1. When powering on the laptop the vaio display goes all fuzzy for a few seconds, this occurs from time to time and not always.
2. When using the laptop, most of the time the display shows different coloured lines and then later they disappear and later the display is fine.

3. When using the laptop, shall we say approx for 30 mins the display went all fuzzy and shortly after the screen went all black for about 5 seconds and later appeared fine. I then had a message which appeared on the bottom right corner which stated ' display stopped working or display driver stopped working'.


I could be wrong but i am confident that my intel graphics chip does not have a heatsink. I dont have a clear pic but there is a video of the same laptop as mine being disassembled.

Video clip roughly at 3.20 shows that there is no heatsink on the GPU
