Hello I am going to open my laptop for cleaning and changing thermal paste and thermal pads. My laptop is MSI GF63 9SC with INTEL CORE i5-9300h and NVIDIA 1650 MAX-Q.
I stopped myself on the thermal paste Grizzly Kryonaut Thermal Grease 1 gr. I want to ask is this enough for only one application or two? Also I want to change the thermal pad on the GPU, but I read in a thread that there are different thicknesses for the different models. I searched for my model of laptop and I do not find what thickness the thermal pad is supposed to be for the GPU. Another question is should I change the thermal pads on the SSD and if I should what should be the thickness of those pads too.
The temperatures I have now are around 86 C on the CPU and the GPU when playing a game like GTA IV, which is something that is not that heavy for my understanding, because the game is 10+ years old, also I get these temps or slightly higher when playing Fortnite or Rainbow Six Siege for one match. I take in consideration that it is summer, but in the room it is not super hot, around 28-32 C. The laptop is not opened for 1.5-2 years and when playing a game I get it heating from the top of the keyboard where is the battery pack I think first.
So I am asking what is the thickness for a thermal pad on this laptop and should I change the thermal pads on the SSD basically?
A question for this laptop was asked, but only for the thermal paste.
P.S. Also should I use any special liquid for removing the stock thermal paste or not?
Thank you in advance!
