since owning my ( SAGER NP8658) clevo p650rs-g i7-6820hk (per-ordered for the release of gtx1070), i haven't re-pasted it lel.
was so caked on, was like a biscuit. i read a lot of posts about bricked laptops and desktops, but just do your research. I also replaced all my thermal pads (last pic, which isn't mine gives an idea of sizes). some of the measurements are wrong so just measure yourself the mm.
overall idling and gaming i am down approx 20 °C.
here are the steps i did:
1) unscrew heat sink in reverse order, remove caked up thermal paste with 99% isopropyl (wax paper, q-tips, paper towels)
2) apply 3 coats of clear coat top nail polish (20min dry between coats)
3) kapton tape the all areas in case of spillage
4) apply thermal grizzly (test on aluminum foil to see how it comes out), swap it around with the q-tip it comes with to make it a shiny, sheet, liquidy film.
5) put a but on the copper heat sink also
6) put screws back on in proper order

good job there mate
just as an additional precaution, id recommend using a foam dam for added spilling protection. but that depends on how much you move your laptop around.

And how good you are at applying LM too, remember it needs a tiny amount. There is a bit too much in those screenshots I think.

i looked into those alread. laptop stays at home, moves around in the house only and will make sure to keep it FLAT.
thx for advice.Last edited: May 17, 2019 -

Fair enough, everyone online seems to go ham with it :/

Just to clarify, for step 4, you used Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut, correct? Pictures and steps indicate this was the case, but just wanted to point that out to other readers.
Also, curious if you kept the foil around from the test. Did it disintegrate?

A little upd8, played around a bit with oc, got it to stable 4.00 and overclocked gpu. max temps in intense gaming situations like high 80's.
here is some fun benchmarks. for 2+year old laptop pretty impressed. still able to play every game maxed out.

you're both right
if nvidia had kept to their "M" designations, the 1080M wouldve been the 980M successor, likely comparable to 1070N performance.hmscott likes this. -

The old Mobile graphics (M) is in short exactly the same as Max-Q nowadays. A crippled down graphics card vs. the real deal (N)

I'd that with a full set of VRMs or on an mxm board?

178W shouldn’t have been possible as the core power FETs were only rated for 120A peak.

Those last 20-30w were not getting a lot of performance.

Repaste Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut definitely worth it (clevo p650rs-g)
