Hi, I'm running into cpu and gpu working at 99% to 100% loads on games that used to use 20 to 30% loads. And they started heating up to 201 f°! So I went in and dumb dumb me I had already used lock tight before on the heatsink screws and stripped one on there trying to remove the last one. Does anyone know what screws were used to put the laptop together. Its the acer nitro 5 an515-54 599H, please if anyone knows, and that's just the easy part i still don't know how well its going to go trying to remove the stripped screw.

    These are all the securing screws you need for the thermal module and fans for your AN515-54, you don't need "Lock Tight" and/or to tightened them with great force, if you stripped the screw then you also probably stripped the thread at the mobo base, which is a problem but not critical, as the thermal module has 7x screws and not having one screw should not be critical, here are all the screws types, part #s and torques that they should be secured to:
