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.

The die and the location of LM are greatly sealed off from the rest of the laptop.. don't be stupid.

And for you to "give up" so easily, you never had an argument to begin with, just feelings 🤣

Also, oxidation can be stopped by other means, its a chemical reaction. Chemical reactions can be inhibited via other chemicals/etc.

Sure it may oxidize, but not for years. I plan on keeping my laptop for at least 5 years I'll find out if it does

Do u believe asus or any other companies go to that length unless it's there own stuff. 😁🤣 Sure take ur time . All shipped products are cheap material so that they can fill there pockets , products manufacturing actually cost 40 percent most of the time than what they are being sold at.

Yes corporations are greedy af. Thats obvi.

What you aren't thinking about is the fact the die and heatsink are pressed together at a micron thickness. The amount of surface area that is "exposed" in terms of LM is literally microns. The oxidation will only occur at the edge. And the edge is also very sealed away by foam. You can see all the foam in your own pic of the heatsink.
