This is a photo of an Xbox One that's had a full teardown and thermal paste replacement, and it was a smashing success. \o/ I think the last time I applied thermal paste to anything would have been something like 15 years ago.
The fans were getting really noisy when doing 4K/HDR gaming and given we're getting the new Xbox Series X tomorrow, I figured I'd fix it now and in the worst case scenario that I broke it, I wouldn't be without an Xbox for long. :P (Also I didn't want to sell it with it being that noisy).
