Aren't these two statements mutually exclusive?

- mcv 7y agoGood question. They don't have to be, but I suppose it's worth checking. I found a forum post where someone asked Lenovo support[0] which apparently said: "When it comes to changing the thermal paste - if you know what you're doing, you're totally fine, but if you break something during the procedure, the repair will not be covered by warranty." That sounds entirely reasonable. But I guess it's worth checking how well it works with the factory paste first. Some people say it's nonsense to believe an amateur can apply thermal paste better than the factory, others report a 10 degree C difference.
