What's up everyone!
So I have a Asus GL704GW. It has a 8750h and 2070. I was getting thermal throttled at 95c on the CPU, The GPU was hitting 85c, don't think it was thermal throttling. After a repaste, the CPU and GPU still had same temps. I did an undervolt, that dropped everything a few degrees. CPU has only hit a brief spike at 91c on a couple cores. The GPU saw the best drop, sits mid 70's now. It was a complete shit show when I pulled off the heat sink. Thermal paste all over the fucking place. I cleaned it the best I could without digging in between the VRM chips etc. I put thermal pads on everything that had paste prior instead of the CPU/GPU, obviously. I used Thermo Grizzly Kyronaut for paste and fujipoly for pads. Should I have seen a drop in thermals without the undervolt? I know these thin laptops are hit hard in the cooling department. Just seems weird after cleaning that mess I didn't see any benefit for the risk took. I've always used Artic S5 on desktops, this was my first time repasting a laptop. If anyone has any experience I would be all ears. I get solid FPS, even prior to this it was fine. I didn't have any crazy dips in FPS etc. I just wanted to cool it down. I was considering doing a Liquid Metal, but not sure if it would matter. Also would having paste still stuck between the chips on the MoBo matter?
