MacBook Pro and thermal paste: part II

On Somethingawful.com forum, one user has decided to completely disassemble his MB Pro in order to remove all excess of thermal paste.
Before starting this operation, the temperature of the MB Pro 1.83GHz was measured at different locations.
hinge: 54C; bottom side (the one in contact with your legs/knees): 50.8C.
Once the excess of thermal paste was removed, and the notebook re-assembled, temperatures were measured again at the same locations: 39.9C and 36.6C respectively. In other words, 14C cooler!! this is a huge difference.
Does not mean that the MB Pro is not producing heat anymore, but its cooling system is (finally) efficient to perform its task.
