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 bought pads as well but the original ones didn’t break. I wanted to replace them with my new one, however i found the new one is more stiff while the original is soft that components can sink into it. I didn’t know that it’s a thing. So i kept the original. (If anybody is interested there were 0.5mm and 1mm pads on the cooler.)
