Hello,

I just bought a GIGABYTE P35WV4-BW2T and have noticed some high temperatures when gaming (Fallout 4, Project Cars). This is a very slim laptop, so airflow is minimal. I have been propping up the laptop to allow better circulation, which seems to put the CPU between 75-85C. I have been debating replacing the thermal paste on the CPU, but wanted to get some feedback before I take everything apart. The Intel site is showing: TJUNCTION 105°C

Does anybody have experience running this CPU on the high end of the heat scale? Is it worth replacing the thermal paste?

Thanks,
