UX31E max temps

Hi everyone, I have a UX31E and my max temps while playing Portal 2 get really high. I get 89C on the chipset and 89C on the cores max and 92C on the CPU Package max temps. I know this is under the spec temp of 105C for the CPU but I am worried because it is so close to the max and am unsure about the chipset max temps.

Core i5 2467M

I also added some thermal pad between the CPU heat pipes and the outer metal casing to help dissipate some heat.

I am afraid if I remove the heat sink and redo the thermal paste I will lose warranty so I haven't messed with that yet.

Also what is the warranty on this laptop in the US?

 

Replacing thermal paste most times reduces temps by alot. ~ 12 C for my acer gaming laptop for example.

And to your question Absolutely not, in fact, this is greatly encouraged even if you are not planning on overclocking. Its very advisable. Replacing the thermal paste on any cpu will not void the warranty....Guaranteed.

Just don't put too much ( pea size round ) is enaught.

 

I would contact Asus support before you jump the gun on exposing the motherboard. Many manufacturers will tell you otherwise; that doing so does void the warranty.

Typical International warranty on Asus ultrabooks is one year. There is also a one year accidental coverage plan for North America for some models (not so much the ultrabooks though).
