Old laptop overheating

[imreloadin]

So I have an old laptop, a Sony VGN-FZ240E, that I've had for a while. It originally came with an Intel T7250 cpu and I upgraded it to a T9500 as it was the same bus speed and same wattage (both being a 35 watt CPU). I've noticed that when benchmarking it has started to overheat to the point of throttling with the cores hitting 100-102C, when I replaced the CPU I used Gelid Extreme thermal paste and I was wondering if some Coollaboratory Liquid Ultra would help dissipate the heat a little better to help bring it below throttling or not since I have some laying around.

 

Has anyone used this on a laptop before? Let me know as I'm currently mulling over what to do with it lol.

Change TIM, maybe you didn't remount the cooler properly.

I changed it about a month ago and the temps seemed fine until about a week ago, wouldn't an improper mounting be more apparent in the beginning?

put in a freezer then keep it open, run anything you can use to over clock the cpu then turn it down like by 30%, if that doesn't work, well switch back to the factory cpu if you still have it.

You can't overclock this CPU, it has a locked multiplier and is on a non-overclocking mobo lol.

I know I was making a joke there, you should probably stay away from customizing laptops that old. I had a problem like that with an old Toshiba and the power supply wouldn't work right, keep in mind I was like 12 and all I wanted was better loading time on the web. damn I was stupid. but really don't shut your laptop and keep it near something cool keep the bottom of it elevated if possible and if that doesn't work, switch back
