Would it be a viable option to apply thermal compound (or pad) to the processor of my Samsung s7. Of course, this phone runs extremely hot in one area (in my case) and presumably I am guessing the thermal contact between the processor in my phone and the heat pipe may not be efficient. Personally I have already replaced my battery and opened my phone to try to gain more battery life but have discovered this heat put out by the processor on my device seems to eat away the battery immensely (obviously). So once again, would an application of thermal paste on the device solve this problem and help dissipate the heat more?
Some more information:
My phone: Samsung Galaxy S7 SM-G930A (AT&T variant) 32gb, upgraded battery.
The following are reference pictures taken from JerryRigEverything and more specifically found in this video which is a tear down of a Galaxy S7 similar to mine. These picture show the main logic board and the obvious discoloration on the processor from wear (same with my s7) and the heat pipe it is in contact with. Here are the PHOTOS
So, what would be the best approach to this? apply the thermal compound upon the seemingly ineffective thermal pads or would it not work?
