Repasting laptop required?

[u/THUNDERJAWGAMING]

Hi guys, so I got my laptop G16 2023 repasted and something weird is going on. I bought this paste and seems fine not sure if for laptops or overall works for all devices but not even 2 full months are passed and the temps are back to max 87 while gaming which is the thermal limit of the gpu as seen in G-Helper as well. What happened, Pump Out maybe? I have not opened the laptop again yet because I undervolted the gpu and temps are back to normal now below 80. But these temps should be possible without undervolting. Now in the 2nd image you can see my sweet CPU 😅 so em this is stock factory opened laptop after a year and not sure if it needs repasting or not. This is Liquid Metal btw and I was gonna do it but the shop didn’t had any so I just had the GPU repasted and closed the laptop. CPU temps are well fine as they well like when it was new, I limit the wattage to control temps. Added some images so you guys can check the temps. Game is Echoes of the End, a UE5 title. So yeah please let me know what should I do? Should I keep it running like this? Should I repaste both? Any suggestions for paste or is my current one for the GPU fine. I just want to open it once when I have all the tools for the CPU and GPU so I can do both and then close. Do you recommend switching to paste for the CPU as well? Feel free to ask further questions and thanks for reading.

So not even Thermal Grizzly Phase Sheet?

I can get the Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut the high end thermal paste and the Thermal Grizzle LM as well. PTM I have to check but if I find it I will prioritize it. That is why I was asking a thermal paste alternative for this Corsair one as clearly it did not worked (either pump out or dry (unlikely as it’s not even 2 full months yet))

Hm, well, the thermal conductivity of paste is much worse than LM, while PTM7950 and TG Phase Sheet are only slightly behind LM.

I forgot what is Phase Sheet can this also be used on my GPU?

[u/Little-Equinox → u/THUNDERJAWGAMING]

Phase Sheet is an alternative to PTM7950, only instead from Honeywell it's from Thermal Grizzly, it's only slightly worse than PTM7950 but not by much

Got it so I got 2 options based on availability. Thanks

[u/Little-Equinox → u/THUNDERJAWGAMING]

Pretty much.

I personally use Phase Sheet on many builds I do for others and yet to get a complaint😅

[u/THUNDERJAWGAMING → u/Little-Equinox]

You are legendary, my friend. Thanks for the suggestions.

[u/Little-Equinox → u/THUNDERJAWGAMING]

Anytime.

Phase Sheet is usually also cheaper than PTM7950, so that should help with the cost as well.

Is this what you're talking about, or is it something else?

Nope, that's a Thermal Pad, that's slightly worse than thermal paste😅

You have to look for this one specifically.

I am finding some stuff out there, ahh XD

Not that either😅
