Paste? fuck me? I don't know shit about paste? My computer seems to be running fine.
I left the shell of the broken fan on the heat sink, disconnected the broken fan, gutted the blade so there were no obstructions to the fins. Then I basically piggy backed the new fan over the holes of the old one. You know what is holding the new fan in place? TRASH BAG TIES! I put the cone on the new fan now my tower looks like the hood of a muscle car with not hood and a huge air intake valve. Funny thing is after all this my system is running better than it did before it broke.

Luckily, PC manufacturers make it so that compatible elements only fit in compatible connectors
Don't forget your paste, when you change the heat-sink.
And.... to disassemble a laptop, search for instructions on youtube... it has helped a few times, in the past...
My current laptop is extremely easy to open and perform the basic tasks of replacing RAM or HDD... but my previous one was a nightmare... I had a few screws on the table by the time I put it all together...
