    Just curious, which is the best program for monitoring my CPU/GPU temperatures.
    I want to know how hot this Clevo w230ss is getting when i'm gaming.
    Also, if I should change the thermal paste (if its getting too hot)

    Thanks!

    If your temps are too hot you can usually get a few degrees lower with better thermal compound, IC Diamond is our recommendation.

    It's a great compound, but extra needs to be taken when applying it!

    The W230SS does okay in temps thanks to the Maxwell 860M. Use a good thermal compound (Coollaboratory Liquid Pro or Liquid Ultra, Gelid GC-Extreme, or Innovation Cooling Diamond) and don't set the laptop on anything that will obstruct airflow, and it should run fine!

    I used Gelid GC-Extreme thermal compound before and it was much better than Noctua Nt-H1. But after I started and use Cool Laboratory Liquid Ultra, I have no doubt. I will never use any other pasta than Liquid Ultra. NEVER :D
