So my Laptop is obviously heating up as many other helios do. I undervolt it and use Predator sense ( max fans and coolboost). However, Im still wondering if I should reapply the thermal paste ( its a one year old laptop). Or should I just continue with the stock one?

    I've had my laptop for a year. It's reaching temperatures of 75 with max fan and coolboost ( low settings ). Is that normal ?
    rohansamal reaching 75 max thats everyones dream to have those temps lol you fine completely fine everything up to 85 its fine over 85 its to start to worry and thinking about repasting it
    Thats with low settings though, If i play with high settings it gets up to 93~~So should I be worried or no? To be frank, I like playing on low settings, so.
    rohansamal as i said everything 85 or under its fine (on max) over 85 consider repasting with kryonaut or similar also optimize windows and undervolt if you havent already i just noticed your temps are on low settings so yes i would repaste it if properly repasted optimized undervolted you should have those great temps with fans on auto coolboost on depending on your room temps
