Hey everyone,
So I just finished doing a repaste using the Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut liquid metal paste on my Lenovo Legion Y720. This is my first time repasting and I didn't quite realise at first that it's a bit risky with liquid metal pastes. The problem is that my laptop no longer recognises the gtx 1060 but only the integrated intel one. It doesn't show up in device manager and geforce experience says it needs an Nvidia gpu to run. I hoping I didn't mess anything up. One thing is that a bit of the paste did spill onto the pins surrounding the gpu part but I did my best to clean them. Another thing is that at first I had applied too little thermal paste on the gpu part and when I stress tested it for like 3 minutes, It was 95 degrees and throttling so I figured I might've put too little. After several attempts I am now writing this hoping there's something I can do. Any help would be greatly appreciated
