I had to replace my motherboard in my laptop (don't ask why very annoying situation) and I've got round to putting everything back in. I havn't every had to install a laptop CPU and was wondering what to do with putting new thermal compound onto the die.

Is it ok just to spread some onto the die or is there something special that you should do with laptop CPUs?

Also can anyone recommend a compound for me?

Thanks any help is appreciated. Tom
