Cooling my ROG GL503VS

[TCProtoGee]

I have a ROG GL503VS and I already repasted both the CPU and GPU with Noctua NT-H1, and have lower temps, around 3C from stock paste. I plan to repaste my CPU/GPU so that I could run it a tad faster, lower temps, and lower fan noise (on MAX). What can you advise me to do? Also, can you recommend me a better thermal paste and what pros and cons it has? Thanks guys

I undervolted the CPU by -160mV. Fans Maxed. 

All my storage are in SSD

RIG SPECS

ROG GL503VS

i7-7700HQ (-160mV Undervolt)

GTX 1070 

16gb ram

240 pcie m.2 ssd for boot + 525gb sata ssd for storage/games

Go with Arctic MX-4.  It has never let me down over the years!  Also max fan speeds will sound like a little jet, and you really don't need to max it out like that.  Instead you can try to open your side case panel and that will suck in cooler ambient air.  Where as inside the case without proper cooling can heat up and the fan is pushing warm air onto the CPU and GPU.

Dry out fast in laptops due to low mounting pressure, not recommended

The problem with this model (and why it's a famous toaster) is the overall design. Badly designed intake and exhaust vents, insufficient heatpipes, Asus crappy 'chewing gum' paste (though you can solve that with a good quality aftermarket paste) etc

 

Nothing much you can do besides from undervolt+repaste unless you want to do heavy modding
