So I had my laptop thermal paste changed yesterday and now game performance on it is very poorly. For example, I played dcs with around 60 fps smoothly and now it's bearly hit 15 fps and with a lot of lag spike with it and it not just dcs all my other game is just like that. My laptop is victus 16 with a gtx 1650 edition. I hope someone can help me with this i really want 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.
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 use some thermal pad that are to thick which make the heatsink can not make any contact with the cpu or gpu i change the pad out for smaller one and it work like a charm

See, you didn't need to have a shop do this when clearly you can, and do a better job.
Yea it seem so haha, I clearly know how to do it but I was to busy so I have the shop do it instead but I think I will do it on my own from now on
