Does the Ti use thermal paste or a pad?

I can't remember. I had my original apart years ago. My new one seems to lock up after a bit and the fan is running (my first concern). On the bright side the battery is great.

I believe they all use paste.

Thanks for the fast reply! I guess it's time to replace it.

Anyone know of a take apart tutorial for the Ti GigE?

Make sure you use a quality paste!

Arctic Silver 5 or Ceramique 2 is what I recommend most.
