    Hi all,

    I have a Clevo P670RS-G which I re-pasted 6 months ago with LM (Kryonat).
    Initially, I could feel how the temps went down like 10-15 degrees, but 2 weeks ago the laptop temps started to go up to 85-95 when gaming (Sometimes even showing artifacts) and thermal throttling.

    I opened the laptop yesterday and I could feel like the GPU socket/die was definitely not making good contact. I was thinking of following this mod -> http://forum.notebookreview.com/thr...cooling-mod-for-p775dm2-p775dm3.803626/page-3 but my MB is different. I could only apply it to the CPU.

    I've just ordered one of this IC Graphite thermal pad for the GPU and I was thinking to use LM again for the CPU.
    However my heat sink seems to be a bit crap anyway and there is a lot of people complaining about heat issues with this motherboard. I was wondering if anyone has tried something for this? Different thermal paste than LM? Some modifications?

    Thanks

    The cooling system struggled a bit with the unified heatsink, but I don't recall reports of any egregious contact issues on this model. A thicker paste might help if that is the case here, though (e.g. IC Diamond).

    The pad is worse than paste.

    I had this issue as well. Ended up replacing the Conductonaut (LM) to Kryonaut (this was actually unintentional, I ran out of conductonaut and accidentally bought kyronaut :p ). Disabling speed shift fixed it for me. Temps hover around 80C now :D

    Disabling speed shift disabled turbo IIRC which is not ideal. Something is going on.

    Bit of a late reply but using throttlestop, I disabled speed shift from the main menu but it's still enabled it in TPL menu with ranges from 1 to 255. While my CPU doesn't reach its single core turbo clock (3.5Ghz), it does reach its multicore turbo clock (3.3Ghz on 2 cores and 3.1Ghz on 4 cores) and stay that way. Attempting to enable speed shift from the main menu causes crashes 100% of the time when gaming (temps reach about 95C on CPU before it crashes).

    It's very rare that only a single core is ever in use these days.
