XPS 15 L521X Performance Increase

So I've had 3 Dell XPS 15 L521X laptops for a while now and still suffering from some heat and throttling issues. But, last night I opened up all 3 and replaced the thermal paste Dell put on them with Arctic Silver 5 on both CPU & GPU. And instantly I started noticing a huge difference with hardly any throttling happening at the moment when under load in games or during some benchmarks. Under load, the CPU was sitting around 94c as a high with an average of 87c, but now it's sitting around 82c as a high with an average of 77c. The GPU was sitting around 80c as a high and 75c as an average, and now it's sitting at a high of 72c and an average of 66c.

I am able to squeeze more than a 23x multiplier out of Throttle Stop now, and push it more around 25x / 26x (25x I've tested it for lengthy sessions but only started testing at 26x).

After 200 hours of curing time of the Arctic Silver 5, I should see even greater results.
