Laptop CPU overheating..

[Gnun1x]

hey all, i'm new to this foru, and i have a little problem.

I have a HP Pavillion g7 gaming laptop and i have it for like 2/3 years now..

The problem is, It keeps overheating like crazy..

I replaced the stock fan with another cpu stock fan from HP, but it still heats up to 80/90 celsius..

I also clean the fan every month, so i don't know what do do anymore..

Could you guys give me some advice? i want to be gaming normally on this laptop

did you change the thermal paste

[snkmoorthy]

You could re-apply the thermal paste on the CPU/GPU/Chipset?

[FLAMMABLEGAS17481]

put it in water when gaming.

remove the heat sink wash it in water. then dry it, and reapply the thermal paste "with new thermal paste ofc".

no the heatsink will rust

 

use alcohol and cotton balls you buy from the drug store

 

use them to clean the heatsink of thermal paste

okay and then i have to use new thermal paste? 

What do you guys think is the problem?

do what i just say

 

clean your heatsink of the old thermal paste

 

apply new thermal paste

 

and install back the heatsink

 

monitor temps and see if there is any improvement

 

HP laptops have poor cooling to begin with

i didnt mean to wash the whole thing with water, just the fins if u couldn't clean them easily with compressed air, but if u managed to clean it with compressed air then thats fine, and ya use alcohol to remove the old thermal paste.

note: dont use too much thermal paste when u are reapplying.

If that doesn't fix the problem you could buy a laptop cooling pad that if if you don't travel too much

[Gnun1x]

Okay awesome guys.

so the HP laptops have sh*tty cooling to start with, so i have to clean the thermal compound?

Thanks guys.

you will hear from me soon

[Gnun1x]

Okay, so i have cleaned the thermal compound on the cpu, cleaned the cpu fan and everything is working and running like a boss!

Idle temperature:

22 degrees Celsius.

While gaming 48 degrees Celsius!

Thanks guys!
