MX-4 can dry out in a few weeks, not sure about NT-H1 - if I remembered correctly it depends

Kryonaut also can dry out quickly if the heatsink is lemon - contact surface not even, low pressure etc

Did repaste already with thermal grizzly.

CPU temp still go ups to mid 90 but GPU stays at constant 76

So weird haha

Which model you're using? Undervolted? Any changes to fan noise and clock speeds?

Illegear Laguna, Undervolted -135v.

Fan noise is same and clock speed mostly maintain at 3.8 Ghz.

Probably the cooling solution is limiting

Make sure you have applied the undervolt (yes it can happen)

I'm using XTU to undervolt, should i try and use throttle stop ?

Yes, from my experience XTU is very troublesome to use

Alright I'll try using throttle stop to see if the temp are better !

If you would prefer lower temperature, most likely need to reduce core clock turbo value, eg reduce core clock value to 35 instead of 39. This can be done through throttle stop but not in XTU. For my case without re-pasting, I reduced my all core clock to 32 and temperature always maintain around 75-80C (full load).

this would reduce the clock speed no?

will this effect the game performance ?

yes it will reduce clock speed and impact minimal FPS in game. Since those AAA games utilize graphic more than processor.

ohh, then i will give it a try. i played destiny 2 most of the time, the CPU usage is always low but the temps go up to the mid 90s

Normal usage mean web browsing, documentary stuff, watch youtube? These usage will not affect much but 3D rendering and video editing will have slight impact - longer time to process. cool2.gif cool2.gif

Oh haha I don't do rendering and stuff, only coding stuff.

Good to hear it won't effect much !

Don't want to mess up such a simple procedure. Thank you.

Basically this is what you need to do:
1. Buy a good paste - I suggest CM Mastergel Maker Nano, no MX-4 and NT-H1
2. Open the bottom cover of your laptop (find tutorial in YT if you don't know how to do it)
3. Disconnect the battery cable
4. Unscrew heatsink, clean the stock paste (alcohol not necessary)
5. Apply new paste - long line on CPU, dot/cross on GPU
6. Put everything back up together

Remember to record thermal results before repasting

cooling fan isn't necessary for Y7000, only need undervolt+lifting up the laptop with something like a book, maybe repaste

How often should I replace my thermal paste? I just bought this laptop and i thought why not buy a cooling fan to support it besides lifting it up as well.

Depends on your heatsink quality and the paste itself, normal I would say 1-2 years

Good cooling fan need to spend RM100-200 which I think isn't worth it, considering that you can drop temps more efficiently by undervolt+repaste+lift up (also cheaper)
