Howdy y'all! I have an Xbox 360 S that is dropping frames (even in Minecraft), and I suspect it's experiencing thermal throttling.
The console is now partially disassembled, and I've already gotten most of the dust out. But I've been thinking: "I might as well change the thermal paste while I'm at it!"
I however have a few questions before I attempt this:

I however have a few questions before I attempt this:
- Is changing the paste something I should be doing anyways?
- How much thermal paste should I apply? A pea sized amount like a PC or less?
- Is the X-Clamp Removal Tool Necessary to take off the x-clamp holding the heatsink on?
- Most critically of all: Can the x-clamp be reused? Do I need to buy a new one or even use another kind of fastener?
