In reviewing your instructions for replacing the hard drive, you mention re-mounting the heat sink and the requirement for thermal paste.

I want to be sure I understand.....

Is this something I absolutely must do?

It is not 100% clear to me from the instructions.

Thanks

Replacing the thermal paste is a suggestion. It is not necessary when replacing the hard drive.

No, it makes sure that heat will get transmitted from the processor to the heat sink.
