[SOLVED] Can anyone help me with my laptop performance ?

[Yaat]

My laptop is an HP Victus 16 with a GTX 1650 Edition GPU.

So I had my laptop thermal paste changed yesterday and now game performance on it is very poor.
For example, I played DCS with around 60fps smoothly and now it's bearly hit 15fps and with a lot of lag spikes with it, and it's not just DCS, all my other games are just like that.
I hope someone can help me with this, I really want it to fly again.

Renewed thermal paste for cpu im assuming?

Did you do this or shop? Seems like heatsink hasn't been put back on properly. Check temperature with Core Temp.

Yeah, if the only thing that's been done is heat sink paste, then it's either too much, not enough or it's not on as good as it was previously. Have it redone.

I have a shop done this for me, i tried tighten the heat sink back cause it very loose however i still got the same problem, when i run cinemabench i got around 98°C on my cpu and when i tried superpositoin to benchmarch my gpu i got about 90°C these are high temp for sure but i dont track the temp before so im not sure.

Thanks guy, I have found the problem, the shop used some thermal pads that are to thick which makes the heatsink not make any contact with the CPU or GPU. I changed the pads for smaller ones and it now works like a charm.

See, you didn't need to have a shop do this when clearly you can do a better job.

Yea it seem so haha, I clearly know how to do it but I was too busy so I had the shop do it instead, but I think I will do it on my own from now on.
