    Is there a shop offering aftermarket customisation(cooling pad/paste) of MSI/Asus laptop in Europe?

    A shop like HIDEvolution but located in Europe that would be offering repasting on order to a GS65 for example?

    My search hasn't showed up anything other than the clevo integrator like XMG / Pcspecialist.

    Get a Gigabyte Aero 15 instead. It will not throttle under load and once you undervolt it, the temperatures should be reasonable.

    MSI in Europe wont void your warranty if you repaste, unless you dont feel at ease to do so.

    I have heard some bad stuff about the Gigabyte 15 regarding keyboard not working and throttling although that might have been fixed since then, i'm also looking at the Aorus x5 right now but i'm waiting for a temperature review

    I have absolutely no knowledge or tools of how to do a proper repaste and I don't feel at east toying with a 2000€ piece of technology tbh, beside for the GS65 with the upside down motherboard I won't open it for sure where as the Gigabyte I might try my luck to attach another M2 PCIe SSD.

    So the general consensus is that there is no HIDevolution competition in Europe right? My problem with ordering from them is that I can normally get a detax in France and that i'm afraid regarding any warranty issue by ordering from the US.

    No way to get around the tax but warranty wise, @Donald@HIDevolution should be able to elaborate on any details you might need. I've seen some good reviews about HidEvolution on here from people all over the world so that shouldn't be of any concern.
