Well this sucks.
Ended up going with Arctic MX-4 because the store near my house did not have Kryonaut. MX-4 seems pretty good according to the reviews.
Replaced the thermal paste about an hour ago, pretty sure I did everything right, done this a couple times on desktops.
Removed the heatskin...
I've opened it and checked the fans and coils for dust, doesn't seem to be an issue
Fans seem to be working fine, sounds like a jet engine, lmao
I guess thermal paste it is, any thermal paste recommendations?
Fair enough, I found it strange that thermal throttling could bring the cpu down to 1GHz but I guess it really is that bad, will replacing the thermal paste be enough to fix this? These are insane results
I ran a cpu stress test and it appears to confirm the problem is thermal throttling, however something even more strange is happening ,the cpu is downclocking during these higher loads, I can't seem to tell why that is
My dad bought the computer one year ago, and gave it to me 3 months ago, so the thermal paste was applied by PCS one year ago, i'd assume. I'll try repasting it, but I really don't think this is what's causing it. Either way, thank you!
Hello!
I know this has previously been adressed in the forums, but I still thought it would be a import to create a separate thread to ask for my help, since my Recoil ii comes from a Portuguese reseller so I don't think I can RMA to PCSPECIALIST.
The laptop constantly overheats, which isn't...
