    Hello, during gaming tests of my new laptop I've noted very high temp on cpu and gpu sensor (biggest problem is cpu) so i tried a first repaste (thermal grizzly Kryonaut) with mediocre results so I've ordered and repasted with IC 24 Carat for cpu/gpu, installed new Gelid thermal pad for cpu vrm and undervolted Gpu/Gpu/iGpu using Throttlestop and Afterburner (Cpu -0,130V; Cpu cache -0,130V; iGPU -0,095; GTX1660 Ti max voltage 0,725V.
    Here my results:

    Hwinfo screen after 30 min of Guild Wars 2 (fps limit 60):

    Hwinfo screen after 30 min of The Division 2 (fps unlimited)

    What do you think a bout these results? I'm not satisfied but my biggest doubt is: Are these temp normal??
    All of these tests are made at about 21 Celsius but here during summer we can reach 28/30 Celsius ambient temp.......... will the laptop catch fire in summer?
    I can send the laptop back to the seller and get a refund by January 31st; I don't know what to do, these temperatures worry me a little.

    P.S: my exact config: Cpu i7 9750H, Gpu GTX 1660Ti, Ram 32Gb Kinston HyperX 2666; 2x500Gb raid 0 ssd

    Those temps look very cold to me. Those are rookie temps. Overclock and pump those temps up

    Agreed, these are perfectly fine.

    Thanks for your answers and Merry Christmas!
    I've also ordered and recejved a new spare original heatsink, a new back cover and I'm waiting to receive some copper slim heatsinks from China.
    I want to add some dissipating elements to the heat pipes to improve performance.
    If the results will be positive I'll open a dedicated thread!

    Honestly, I think the above temps are perfectly fine.
    In fact, they ARE indeed quite cold, and I don't think you'll be able to improve upon those further.

    Thanks also for your opinion but the 80/85 degrees Celsius that easily reaches during the game sessions with The Division 2 in June I think they will become at least 90/95 °!
    I hope to reduce them a bit because they do not seem so low and the noise of the fans at high temperatures becomes really very annoying.
    In my head the goal is a reduction of at least 5/10 degrees.
    Do you think it will be really so difficult?

    With only 3 heatpipes shared across the CPU and the GPU its most likely impossible to reach such low temps unless you use an AC under your laptop, try a cheapo basic notebook cooler, it will help you to lower temps a bit more, but given the heatsink design, its already running pretty cool TBH.
