Thermal Paste for Laptop. I need your help!

[GerKNG]

I was also looking for a good paste to use for my new Acer Nitro 5.
The CPU is always getting up to 95°C, for now I used MX-5, but I barely see a difference compared to the stock paste. But I even see a spike to 97°C now.
For now I throttled the CPU TDP with XTU because I'm too worried of it getting too hot.

So you guys say Syy 157 and thermalright TF-8 are good pastes to go with?
which one of the two would you recommend?

thermal paste does not make your heatsink better.
i used a lot of pastes and i have MX5 on my 3090 and 6900XT with great success.

remember. direct die = manual application of paste (spread it until the whole die is covered)

if it does not help it's a bad heatsink design.

SYY-157 is better than TF-8, I would give SYY-157 a try. Arctic MX-5 might not work on a laptop because it's a low viscosity paste.

If your that worried about temps, use liquid metal for thermal compound. I use Coollaboratory Liquid Ultra.

Been using Arctic MX-2, MX-4 and MX-5 but I didn't do a comparison between them to establish any ranking. All the laptops I used them on are now quieter and perhaps a bit cooler than they used to be before the cleaning and reapplying new thermal paste.

Reading advice about applying thick layers of paste makes me cringe, thermal paste should never be applied in thick layers. Its purpose is to facilitate better thermal contact, don't treat your heatsink or radiator like a loaf of bread that needs buttering.

Though I've experienced temperatures dropping from high 80s Celsius to mid 60s Celsius after cleaning with isopropyl alcohol, air dusting, and reapplying thermal paste the main benefit is the faster and more efficient cooling. The temperatures decrease faster, so the CPU and GPU are hot for less time.

I used Phobya Nanogrease extreme on my old 7700hq/1070 laptop and it worked great.

it's not only from the paste, could be from the fan, from the contact area between the heatsink and the processor, the ambient temp you need to check it first before pointing the paste is bad

You can buy replacement boards for the GF75 on Aliexpress

But at the same time - you run the risk of the board youre buying being a peice of junk. so you might get scammed.

Is it cheaper than buying a new laptop equal to your GF75?? Yes

is it worth buying? thats up to you to decide

If youre going to buy it. Make sure you purchase using a credit card or a payment system that offers buyer protection just in case what you paid for is either DoA or not what was advertised in the description

You can do a 1:1 swap and maybe not have to reinstall windows so you can still run your current windows install. Worst case scenario is windows might ask to you reactivate because the OEM key that was installed is tied to the dead motherboard.

Give Microsoft a call or jump on their livechat and explain to them that your laptop suffered a malfunction and you had to replace the board. They might reactivate the key for you. If not then windows keys are fairly cheap. - This company is advertised all the time on TPU, I have bought a key from them before and it activated just fine. If you get any dud keys, speak to W1zzard and he will sort them out

Go on the net and compare it to many others, look at performance data

i cant see any data on that paste for laptops tho.. i dont wanna use desktop's data bcs some pastes doesnt work well on laptops..
