ASUS ROG Strix Scar II Repasting

Hello!

 

My laptop is running way too hot, idling CPU and GPU at about 70 degrees celcius.

Needless to say, I think its time I repasted them, but I'm not too sure about which thermal paste to go for (this is my first gaming laptop), I usually just use desktop PC's and don't know if there's any considerations to take.

 

I'm looking to get my idle temps as low down as possible because the fans are driving me crazy.

And yes I've cleaned out the fans for dust and updated bios / drivers etc.

 

Cheers! - Moz

You can try liquid metal, I dont really have experience with it, just read that it makes a big differnce

Any Help is appricated! Please correct me if I´m wrong!

Liquid metal is conductive option so if even a tiny bit spills from CPU (it can happen at any time) it will fry your laptop. If you want the best non-conductive thermal-paste  https://www.thermal-grizzly.com/en/products/16-kryonaut-en this is one of the best ones
