Now getting back to the work at hand. I am sure a lot of you would have read about the NB/PWM area heating issues that Asus had with the CH IV when it first came out. Now, we being in India, the newer batches never landed here and I thought I would take a quick look beneath the heatsinks to make sure that all was fine.



A quick look at the heatsink contact areas told me that it was not and I could have had a potential problem somewhere down the line.





So off came the old thermal pad and I replaced it with some stuff that I had got from EK earlier. I also shaved down the contact nuts a bit, to make sure that it fit like it was supposed to. Also changed the stuff on the NB and SB and added some MX2.





And screwed the heatsink back in.



Then got on to removing a few stickers.







And that my friends completes the update for day 1.
