    I brought this unit few days back they did the whole thermal grizzly kryonaut on both the cpu and the gpu. Casual work seems to be okay whenever i go for gaming any sort of it reaches to 97-100 degrees instant. I did a UV of -140 in the throttlestop it doesn't seem to help. The company even changed the heat sink but it's still the same. If anyone has the solution that will be great as this Singaporean company is not willing to take the unit back and refund (****ty Asian companies).

    Well, you need to run max fans and you need to under volt the gpu since the heat sink is unified.
    Speculations of course...

    GPU should not be reaching towards 100C, either the paste is badly applied or the heatsink has an issue.

    More than likely nothing wrong with the paste, but more so how they set the heat sink down and screwed it in place.

    Or perhaps a heatpipe is dead.

    Well we have identified the CPU is what you are talking about but you have not provided graphs of temps, loading and speed over time and under what conditions.

    A washer on the right post may correct for any unevenness if there are two particularly hot cores.
