Question Getting 94 celsius max for VRAM on HWInfo. Is the laptop still safe to use or do I need to repaste right away?

[Jgray314]

I just got my laptop repasted with UTP 8 for VRAM (had a professional who has done repastes for me before and done a good job) and now I am getting VRAM temperatures of up to 94 degrees celsius. My CPU and GPU temperatures don’t seem too different from before, those were repasted with PTM 7950.


I don’t remember what the VRAM temperatures were before, but I remember the CPU and Gpu temperatures and those didnt change much (CPU slightly lower now and GPU about the same). But I’m very concerned about the VRAM temperatures. What will happen if I keep using and gaming on this laptop?

It’s an MSI Titan 18 HX 2024 model

I contacted MsI and they said the stock paste is K5 Pro, but I feel like that must be wrong because I had another laptop repasted with K5 pro and it made the VRAM temps increase by 20 degrees (they were brought down by repasting UTP-8)

My main question: is this laptop safe to use without causing lasting damage? The guy who repasted it for me is away for a month so the earliest I can repaste is in a month, unless I find someone else to do it for me.

What was the make, model and SKU for your other laptop?

Yes. You might want to consider undervolting your processor and GPU to curb heat dump.
