ASUS FX553VD running hot (cpu around 60 at idel)

[Hans Dampf]

the title basically enplanes it all, my cpu (7700HQ) runs at about 60 with only discord and software to measure cpu temp like i know laptops run a bit hotter but is that normal? 

i have given the inside a clean, mostly clearing out the dust ect and the temps stayed about the same temp, so like is it time for new thermal paste or what?

No, I would say try to replace the thermal paste. 60C on idle is way to hot, even for a notebook

new thermal paste even when you've just received the laptop, true for all brands.

Well yes, but not all brands allow you to open op the notebook without voiding your warranty. I tend to only recommend or do it when the temperatures are causing issues or are just to high to be healthy, otherwise just leave it shut to prevent voiding someone's warranty without them knowing they're doing it

If seen multiple videos where they test if it actually matters, turns out the difference is a couple of degrees at best. I would just use whatever you have or some cheap one if you have to order. Do get one from a known brand, but that's op to you

Let us know the result, I'm kinda curious if it will get better with new thermal paste. (I know it will, just wondering how much better)

Just curious why you link this post? It leaves alot of good pastes out and includes some that pump out rather quickly. 

 

There used to be a post that had rather scientific data about the most popular pastes and their resistance to the pump out effect in bare die applications. I cannot find it anywhere.

 

That being said on a bare die viscosity is everything on a laptop. The thicker it is the longer it lasts pretty much.

 

Also with most manufacturers they consider replacing the Tim self damage and void the warranty.

 

Lastly 60c is pretty average. Alot of laptops will not ramp the fans up until 55-60 to keep audible noise to a minimum. If it bothers you use Asus cooling over boost to change the fan curve before making any changes.

I agree that the thread isn't perfect. It only includes mainstream branded paste (I think is sufficient). Except for NT-H1 which I don't recommend

just got back from testing,
idle before was around 55 and after was around 45 
i did the 3d mark skydiving benchmark, before was 16002 and after was 16183
(i used thermal grizzly Kryonaut paste btw)
