Hello,
I disassembled my laptop (Asus g53j) in order to clean its fans and repaste the CPU/GPU.
I removed the heat sink from the CPU and the CPU is covered by an orange rubbery and transparent cover with 2 square holes in it. The CPU only made direct contact with the heatsink through those 2 square holes in the orange cover and that is mostly the only place where there is old paste on.
I have some ArctiClean and I was wondering if I should remove the orange cover before cleaning the CPU or not?
Thanks for the help.
