    What temps are you getting when running on high load? I've had my np9150 for a week now and ordered it with standard thermal paste with the intention to replace it with better quality. Wanted to run it for a week to get benchmarks. Was playing D3 last night for one hr and gpu peaked at 101 and hung around the 94 range. Seems a bit hot for me.

    definitely repaste. Most laptops I have bought in the past came with a crap paste jobs and judging by other people's posts your temps should be in the 70c range.

    thats what we like to hear.

    might be time for all resellers to drop the cheap paste as it just cant handle these new cards.

    This exactly.

    I noticed many people having heating issues and fixing them with aftermarket thermal pastes on NBR forums over the past week. (For sager notebooks of course)

    It worries me. :3

    its not the brand of the paste, its the application thats the culprit here: - even cheapest paste will only be 3-5c hotter than the best one in terms of peak temps.

    Exactly, the difference will increase if the stock paste job is not done properly, which happens in most cases.

    When i repasted my GPU they used one of the premade square thermals, barely any of it was on the gpu.
