Thermal Compund Replacement

Hi,
It's not too bad, as long as the high temps not crashing your system/shutdown, you can carry on using it but keep monitoring the temperatures. Have you tried using a cooling pad? Another method to consider to reduce the heat is to use Throttlestop to undervolt.
Disassembly of this model is slightly more difficult than other models but if you allocate enough time and good preparation, it's doable, allocate enough time for the task, make note of everything with pictures/videos, get an anti-static wrist strap, watch few videos to familiarise with the procedure.
If you don't want to do it by yourself, get it done by a local repair shop.

Yeah it's not crashing my system or anything and yes I use a cooling pad and I also have tried Undervolting to about -70mV.. It's stable at this voltage.. I've actually opened it up once to upgrade my RAM sticks but I couldn't figure out how to open up the heatsinks to apply thermal paste else I would have done it the first time.. Maybe I'll try taking it to a local Acer Service Centre and have them do it for me.. Thanks for the reply.. I guess I should've bought the Dell Inspiron model with the same specs as this.. I've seen some reviews that says the thermals on that is impressive0
