    Nice. Hopefully we get an answer today about the new bios. I saw the pic from the outdated thermal paste. Was that from your unit?

    Nope, just got mine today. Ran unreal heaven for the benchmark and had spikes of 96. Played tomb raider and had a couple of restarts. Hopefully a repaste will sort me out...

    By the way, got a message from AW Support. Check it out.

    "We were actually checking the maximum temperatures for this processor and according to Intel and our Engineering team, this new generation of processors can run up to 100 C degrees completely fine."

    Don't know if this is legit or not but if this is true, well.....

    I just repasted @Vassilis008 's 15R3 6820HK with 20+ degree temp difference down to 2-3c.


    PM me if you need some liquid magic applied on your laptop ;]

    So played on Tomb raider for about half an hour, no restarts but by the end Temps had peaked at 96, averages were mid to high 60s.

    Hope this helps :)

    Do you frequently get spikes of 90 degrees consistently or rarely?
