    That I can't know without checking Dell EC. Earlier w/o repad, it would shoot upto 85C on Witcher 3 on high settings with Vsync. After repad like they said (Mobius 1, iunlock, papusan) temps reduced by 10C on GPU and on CPU by 20-25C using just traditional paste.

    Does anyone had a problem of not being able to optimized a game. My the witcher 3 it say game cannot be optimized. I have tried tried this steps and it didn't work.
    1. Press the Windows Key, Type "Run", Type %APPDATALOCAL% and enter
    2. Find the "NVIDIA CORPORATION" folder and click it
    3. Find the folder "NVIDIA Geforce Experience" folder and click it
    4. Delete the entire folder named "Cefcache"
    5. Open Geforce again and it should work.
    Anyone got any ideas on how to fix this? I use the geforce experience as I am a noob on manually optimizing my games. I do use Autoruns to disable telemetry.

    "NVIDIA is working on a Game Ready driver for Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus to provide the best possible gaming experience and we intend to post the driver early next week. In the interim, we're making a hotfix driver available which has a key stability fix for certain Kepler-based GPUs."
