[SOLVED] Recently repasted and my temps increased after a few days

[floyd.ng2003]

Hi there!

I recently repasted with using the Grizzly Liquid Conductonaut and i started to see some slight decrease in temps. My usual idle temp was 45 degrees and it dropped to 40. My temp was around 78-85 degree(barely hits 90) when gaming while before it was around mid 80 degrees and occasionally hitting 90 degrees. I expected a much lower temp drop but i was contented with what i had. However after a few days I noticed my temps increased to 50-60 degrees when idle (constantly increasing and decreasing) and when gaming my temps hit a avg of 90 degrees. Im not sure what caused the problem but i suspect the liquid metal may have spreaded as i did took my laptop to another country (there was alot of movement). I need a solution ASAP. My laptop is the acer nitro 5.

Thanks in advance!

Heres some pic (I dont know which is the cpu and gpu)

I do not get it. I just ran a CPU stress test and it is averaging 65 degrees. I need answers

Most laptops turbo boost till they reach a certain temp then just speed up and slow down to keep it from going higher.

there have been a few threads on this forum about using Conductonaut on your heatsink, with folks debating if that's a good choice - it will etch some metals, and even stained the CPU's stainless IHS. Search the forum with google, as the forum's search function doesn't always work well.

That Conductonaut seems to work better inside the CPU when folks delid. I went with the Kryonaut - personally i would pull your heatsink to see how it spread.

Puget systems did a pretty interesting study on applying thermal paste, using a clear acrylic block so they could see how the paste spread with each of the different suggested methods - https://www.pugetsystems.com/labs/articles/Thermal-Paste-Application-Techniques-170/
