BlueMax Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 If you are hitting those temperatures you should better dismantle, clean the thermal radiator block, especially the grid, clean the fan, properly re-paste gpu-cpu and dismantle back. No cooling pad will help cooking chips inside if your cooling system is clogged or mis-aligned. IMO overalll dismantle-cleaning of a notebook at least /year is a must for longevitiy and stability. Better to do a maint & be safe than being sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StipeP Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 I recently dismantled mine, repasted it but it didn't help much with the temps. GTAV was hitting 95 on CPU. 3DMark 11 got me to 84C on GPU. People keep saying that's all normal and laptops are warm by default, but then again, their temps are much lower than mine. :/ Maybe I should blow it out nicely or invest in cooling pad.

StipeP Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 What thermal paste would you recommend? I use MX-4 and the results are appauling. Maybe I should try to apply it again. Then again, some people say that friends to let friends use MX-4. What about Gelid Extreme? Or Coollaboratory Liquid Ultra? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
