Agreed. Messing about with thermal paste is pointless. You are more likely (IME) to make things worse, than better.If you are worried about thermal performance, just place it on its side, raised a little to keep the ventilation holes open, and, maybe, stuck a low profile heatsink on the former underside.View attachment 368773View attachment 368774
Maybe you have around an old external 3.5 hdd or router accesory.
