Overheating CPU again few weeks after fixing it

[Michko]

Hello, I have notebook Asus GL703VM, it always had CPU overheating issues, but never this bad. Like a month ago I put it to service center. They repasted it, bought new fans and heatsink. When I got it back everything worked perfectly. CPU Was  max 78 C at max load, it was fine operating at 3,8 GHZ. But week after week it got worse, to now, when its again throttling and operates max at 3,4 GHZ, before it underclocks down to 3. I can't send it back, because my warranty ran out.

So I would like to repair it myself, do you guys think I should repaste it again or is something wrong with the heatsink? I dont think its problem with dust or fans.

 

Thanks in advance.

Try this with a high quality paste also clean out the fans.

Mind recommending me some paste? I find it weird, that it got bad so fast.

Try a cooling Pad. Differrent Paste will not change it.

They might have used some potato paste.

Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut

Artic MX-4 are two great pastes.

I already have one.  It's on max speed nonstop.

Ya..i know why i dont have one of those.

Did you try set the best perfomance / battery life to 50%?

Do you mean in power settings? Yes I have set it to the best perfomance, but I dont know what you mean by battery life to 50%

Put the slider between performance and battery life. So its in the middle 50/50.

I know what slider you mean, for some reason I dont have it there. I can set the power settings in control setting to balanced though.

Best performance tends to run it hot. Near boost clock.

Yeah I know, but shouldnt it be able to handle it? Like a year ago the notebook handled everything fine, I could even overclock gpu.

I guess it helped, it doesnt throttle, but it still bottlenecks the gpu and cpu still sometimes spikes to 95 C.
