    Test also FPU and GPU due shared pipes. With very high ambient I would run high performance fan speed.
    From what I seen in your paste job. I mean it's still too much paste. You should apply the paste, screw down as usual and open up again. See how the paste spread. Applying less if it's too much. Or do the opposite.

    @Papusan: FPU+GPU ( Intel was disabled because I don't game on Intel when I paid for NV)
    It touches peak of 93C on stock dell fan profile, but with hwinfo fan profile max is under 90C. I had lot of background apps such as MS word, some music, web browsing with 10 tabs etc. Its hotter than yesterday, I think room temps is around high 30s. stock_fans_gpu.png gpu_2.png

    Maybe you missed.
    Untick all the other boxes, only check FPU and GPU boxes for your testing if you want higher load.

    @Papusan: Still in 90s. That GPU option simply pushes intel gfx no matter what I do. Maybe my ambient temp is too much. I cant type because I'm sweating so much.
    Might as well move to Norway to see drops in temps.

    Try another time. If you moved here, I think you would freeze to death. Just 17-18C and rain :D Would be better if you moved to North Germany-Denmark ;) Or North Spain. I would :)

    Ahhh 18C, that was the normal temperature at my place. I feel air pollution is part of the reason. With every option ticked in AIDA64 I saw below 80C. I failed to document it because my PC shut down itself due to high thermals on battery and interference from RTSS. I switched on AC and cooled the room to 27C. All is good.

    It is certainly OFF, I meant I ticked default options CPU, cache, RAM, FPU and GPUs.

    I turned on AC and room was cooled to 27C. Thermals was actually good, below 85C with CPU,FPU and GPU stressed at the max. Unfortunately, I was running on battery and it shut itself maybe due to interference from RTSS.

    Too much paste doesn tinterfere with cooling though, its jsut spilling over the side. At least according to some youtube tests.

    All depends on the pressure from HS. And you don't need very much more to see the difference. Of course too little is worse :)
