Reapplying Thermal Paste on the GPD Pocket 4 Micro Laptop (with quick review)
Published: 1 day ago
Today, we'll take apart a slightly different kind of EDC gear, in which we're going to live on the edge, and repaste and replace the (pretty unfortunate) stock thermal paste on the GPD Pocket 4 Micro-Laptop with Honeywell PTM7950 phase change thermal pad, which ultimately yielded a massive drop in peak temperatures (from a peak of 94°C at full load to around 79°C, and dropping idle temps by around 7-8°C and reducing fan use). I'll also give some first impressions of the device, while I'm at it.
