    Hi, would like some help getting my i7 9700k CPU under control.

    Ideally I'd like to run my system at 100% without throttling.

    I have undevolted my CPU in the bios but going above - 105 causes crash when on battery, -135 + is fine but HWinfo picks up windows errors not sure if I should be worrying about these.
    I don't have ram oced

    Rtx 2080 died using rtx 2060 which sadly only runs at 80w (advice on how I can get this to 115w would be appreciated (too inexperienced to shunt mod)) GPU averages around 60-70 including hotspot

    Applied new mx 5 paste on CPU and thermal grizzly on GPU today did not see any notable CPU temp changes (maybe it's still curing?) - I move the laptop around too much to add any liquid metal.

    Using https://www.amazon.co.uk/Double-Cooling-Flexible-Colorful-Adjustable/dp/B07WVK2ZZ9 as a cooling pad

    Have set up -130 CPU core and cache on throttle stop (reset the bios and removed xtu and CCC)
    I'm still throttling at 95-100 degrees

    Any advice on how to get this CPU under control would be appreciated

    Change the thermal paste
    And clean the heatsink and change the thermalpads and you should be good to go.

    Did you apply a thin layer of thermal paste? The whole purpose of it is to conduct the heat to the heatsink so it can spread it and get the cpu and gpu colder. Maybe you applied a bit too much since you didn't see any improvements in it

    theres nothing wrong with the thermal paste, using em on different laptop with i7 7700hq getting 60-70degrees with cooling pad underload
    heatsink I obviously cleaned before applying new paste.
    thermal pads aren't showing any signs of degrading [​IMG] from the image I've attached I don't think they have much impact on the CPU temps?

    how have you managed -200mv undervolt on your i7 8700k in your laptop?

    Only way to power mod 20xx and 30xx is a shunt mod.

    Thanks the mod did the trick, dropped the temps from 5-10 degrees, it's still throttling according to HWinfo but much better than before, I've ordered some new thermal pads hopefully they can help too


    liquid metal ain't an option for me - traveling with this thing a lot in my titan backpack

    That sucks, do you know if OEMs will do these for you?

    I'm not aware of any reseller who would do this for you.
