Will thermal paste help

[Trickster81]

Hi new here. Love the channel. Ok so just done a find on eBay pc specialist/Seager vortex iv i7 4700 and GeForce 780m runs anything I throw at it so far. Had a while away from gaming rigs and daily driver is iMac. Well problem is running fortnite is sounds like a jet will a laptop cooler and replacing the thermal paste help.

replacing the thermal paste will help 90% of the time, also check the finstack on the cooling exhaust for dust and debries when you open her up!

Usually replacing thermal paste in a older PC helps. It dries and becomes less useful. I usually replace my thermal paste after one year.

Sounds like a quick and cheap fix what have I got to loose.

 

just need to find the screen where I can see temps not used to where anything is in win 10.

 

then I can post figures.

If it has always been like that, then answer is no. Temps will drop, so if it was more quiet when it was new, it will be close to that.

Thats would be 3.5-4 years of usage, plus maybe some sitting in warehouse. Paste and cleaning should do wonders. Without knowing how much it made noise new, impossible to say how loud its after operation. It will be cooler.
