gc-forever - Gamecube/Wii Forums

Hello guys, so I'm currently waiting a xenoGC chip, but for fun I decided to open my cube to put a region switch on R5 for jap/usa. Everything went fine, I can now boot both. But just after I removed the heat sink to access to the circuit board, I did realize that normally when removing a heat sink, we need to remove thermal paste and apply new one. Normally do you keep the same thermal pad on the GameCube or your replace it with a thin layer of thermal paste?

Thank you

Keep the pads as they are, it doesn't really matter.

Thanks for the info, and also for being active a lot on the forum.
