Dell Precision T7600 Thermal Paste Replacement for Overheating CPU

Введение

Use this guide to replace the thermal paste for your Dell Precision T7600 if your CPU is overheating.

The CPU is the main part of the computer, as important as the heart of human. When the heat dissipation capacity is insufficient, the temperature is too high, your computer will become less efficient and less responsive. In severe cases, it may stop working or even shut down automatically.

In the replacement process, you do not need to remove the CPU, you can just add silicon grease (thermal paste) on top of it.

In the step 4 and 5, each tower has four 18mm TONG DIN912 screws, so total is eight screws.

Make sure to power down your device before you begin.
