Hey everyone,
Just wanted to share my recent experience with gaming on my laptop. While playing CS:GO was manageable, CS2 was a different story. My laptop kept hitting thermal limits, causing frustrating performance drops. So, I decided to do it myself and repaste it.
I wrote a simple script to monitor my temperatures and frequencies: thermalog script.
The results speak for themselves: thermalog results.
I wasn’t even near to thermal limit even when I played in 2K instead of FHD.
I used Arctic MX-6. (I bought liquid metal also as a backup plan, but luckily I don’t need it). I’m more than happy with the results.
My laptop is four years old, I highly recommend giving it a go if you’re facing similar thermal issues.
Happy gaming!
I’ve always used paste- never heard of these. I’ll totally check them out! I assume they are fine for any CPU/GPU applications as long as they fit? I always lose my paste tubes so having a sheet of these might be easier to keep track of
I thought it was just me! I swear I have like 4 tubes but can’t find them when I desire to
