Question Laptop temperatures getting higher?

[antvvnio]

Hello Tom'sHardware.

I've bought a ASUS x509JB back 2 years ago. While gaming performance was good, temps the same, barely hitting 78°C.

Like 1 year ago, the temps were getting insanely hot (87°C, reaching it relatively easy). I've ignored it, even if it affected my performance a lot since the CPU couldn't clock at 3.6GHz, mostly sitting at 1.8GHz.

Currently I replaced the thermal paste (one day ago) with Noctua NT-H1, being extremely confident the temperatures gonna be lower than before buying it.

Guess what. Temperatures remain the same. I've cleaned the fans when I applied the thermal paste too.

This is how my laptop cooling looks.: photo
The cooling on this laptop looks weird but it did the job good when I first bought it.
I've also tried cleaning those white lines you see around the CPU and GPU.

Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

By clean the fans, did you clean the venting as well? Some folks forget to clean out the dust/debris in the venting.

By cleaning, do you mean removing the foam gasket that goes atop of those white lines? If so, you just ruined the cooling on your laptop. The white lines are guides along which a foam gasket is laced on the laptop's cover(underside) which then acts as a duct to help push the air out to the side of the laptop. The fan still looks dusty, is the picture before or after the cleaning job? If you didn't remove the gasket/ducting, you're fine.

As for your laptop, what OS are you working with? Latest BIOS update on the laptop? Have you tried undervolting?

Are these the specs to your laptop;

If so, what do you tax the laptop with?

The white lines you see on the motherboard are just guidelines, they aren't foam or anything else (as I guess since the first time I opened the laptop there wasn't anything there) Latest BIOS and tried undervolting but same temperature. Also that's my laptop specs, but the one I bought had a HDD so I replaced with a NVMe SSD.

That's a older picture, it's before I cleaned the fan.
