I decided to go for Arctic MX-4, I did some research on it and it should be good enough, was also the cheapest I could find, costed 99kr (around 9 euro) Is this a good choice?

Okay, so if I want to replace the thermal paste, which one do I go for? I've been looking into thermal grizzly's options but I've heard some of them dry out, and google seems to have little info about it. I'd like to have thermal paste that doesn't go bad in a year and has good performance.

Temps are decently low (around 70 to low 90s) at idle 4ghz, and then when I do the TS Bench in ThrottleStop, speeds go down to around 1.5ghz, and temps go up to around 92c, sometimes going up to 96-98 for a split second. Image of it can be seen here EDIT Idle speeds and temps can be seen here...

Thing is that, it's not always at 1.5Ghz, its always at either 3-4ghz (when not running any intensive programs or not focused on one), which is normal (i believe), it instantly jumps up to normal frequencies when i alt tab out of the intensive program.

This is what happens when I run the benchmark, I have no idea what to make of these errors except that its throttling, it never used to throttle like this before all of this. EDIT: Power plan has always been on either Balanced (Acer) or High Performance, didnt change anything.

Yup, updated it less than a month ago, version 1.33 (latest)

I have downloaded every driver for my system and it still doesn't want to work. I hopped on CSGO with Task Manager on Always on top, and my CPU was hovering at 1.5ghz, and as soon as i clicked on Task Manager it jumped straight up to 3ghz.

I'll try the drivers from their website then, I'll reply once ive done all of them with results.

Already done most of these via windows update

Was just curious to see if there was any upgradability, yeah I couldve probably checked youtube instead, my bad. I'll try repasting CPU and GPU once I can get some good thermal paste and a way to get this busted screw out.

Just yesterday, I downloaded chipset drivers manually, GPU driver was downloaded via Windows Update

So I've been using this laptop for a while and it's been great, high fps on all the games I play, it's running a I7-9750H, RTX 2060, 16GB RAM and a 1TB SSD and it was working fine until I decided to disassemble it, and take a peek at the cooling. One of the screws for the CPU was broken so I...
