AMD's (Notebooks) Heating Issues.

In an earlier thread of mine I posted a few concerns regarding an AMD Athlon Emachine Notebook, and forgot to mention about something that I'd read. In searching through some sites where owners expressed their reviews on this unit, one reviewer (though I can't remember where I read it) spoke of knowing owners of AMD notebooks who had some thermal thingamajig replaced with a better/stronger one. It was an act which prevented any further heating woes. Does anyone know of what he was speaking of? and of how much something of this nature is likely to cost (ballpark, of course).
 
They might have just scraped the thermal grease off of the heatsink and spread some Artic Silver on it instead. If it was that (I dont think there's anything else), it was all in their head. Artic Silver will make a difference on desktop systems, but it'll do next to nothing at all on a notebook. You can try undervolting also with a program like RM Clock or Notebook Hardware Control (NHC).
