Just wanted to share my recent experience with gaming on my laptop. While playing CS:GO was manageable, CS2 was a different story. My laptop kept hitting thermal limits, causing frustrating performance drops. So, I decided to do it myself and repaste it.
I wrote a simple script to monitor my temperatures and frequencies: thermalog script.
I put ptm in my steam deck and the numbers are better and the heat coming out of the vent now is kinda scary but that means it’s not on the apu I guess. Next is the extra heat pipes mod and also ptm pad for my ancient laptop. It already had a repaste and the exhaust increase is also pretty impressive with just that.
