[QUOTE="rachalmers, post: 1823050, member: 402263"] My mini was running hot. So, while I had it pulled down to clean it, and I had the tools, I purchased a small tube of paste on amazon, and did that at the same time. The old paste had turned to chalk dust and had been very badly applied anyway. So I cleaned it all up, applied a thin smear of paste - which is all it needs, and put it all back together. No more overheating problems. So if you are going to take your Mini apart to replace the drive(S) then you may as well do the heatsink while you are at it. £2 tube of paste isn’t much extra.
