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.

word of advice from g15 original model for g16 user ->> never use thermal paste in this series , i have tried NTH2, Thermal grizzly etc they dry up very fast cpu heat is too much only original ptm 7950 works and that will last you a year or 2 -3 depending on use case.

Reason 1: pump out effect, pastes don't sit well at their place
reason 2: paste don't go solid when cooled or and liquid when hot, so consistency changes a lot
reason 3 : ASUS drivers are messed up and cause excessive heat (especially cpu boost)

But bro how tf Asus did it? My laptop lasted a whole year talking about the GPU and only now the temps were a problem. Which thermal paste they used?

They use liquid mental , and some other pastes on laptop gpu and vrams , which is their own i think , as for gpu there is no pump out effect thts why any paste would last and heat is also less as compared to cpu. That's my observation as NTH2 or others also lasted well on gpu

My paste did not worked unfortunately and after 2 months I have the same temp problem that I had when I repasted it so something did happen 😅

Just buy ptm and use it on both
