[QUOTE="DeepWeb, post: 702163, member: 63811"] Update: I eventually caved in and went with Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut. Made sure to seal my CPU and GPU with electrical tape like the many instructional videos. We will see what happens over the next weeks as I move my laptop around. I'm almost 95% convinced I applied too much. Nevertheless, perhaps I did it the right way. My idle temperatures went from 46-50 C to 35-41 C. That's not the important thing. The big deal is my Prime95 temperatures went from 99 C to no more than 67 C. A 30 degree difference compared to the stock crap paste that HP slapped on this laptop. My fans are so quiet I had to double check if they were running and I didn't accidentally broke something. [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/qlL9Xjh.jpg[/IMG] This is 1 minute after running Prime95. Overall, my CPU temps are finally stable. No extremes. Can't wait for Intel to throttle my CPU next week... ugh. [/QUOTE]
