my laptop is acer nitro 5 an515-43 rx560x ryzen 5 3550H.
While gaming like apex legends and assassins creed 3 remastered i noticed that first my vega 8 graphics card gets hot and then my rx560x so i want to know where does this vega 8 gpu located physically as i am going to repaste the thermals.
And also i want to know why in the hell this vega 8 card having stress when all games run on rx560x 

//Edited the content to add model name.

    CPU temperature and Vega 8 temperature will be almost same because Integrated graphics is a GPU built into the processor

    CPU get hot while playing that's why you see Vega 8 is getting hot

    Ohh then I think its time for some repasting.
    So In my laptop you know CPU chip also has capacitors, should i use thermal paste or can i use liquid metal as i learned liquid metal is really powerfull
    My advice to you is "NOT TO USE LIQUID METAL PASTE" as its dangerous and can cause a shortage, burnout in your laptop circuitry components if its applied wrongly and gets on any components. Many laptops circuitries are shorted out (due to melting and over pasting with liquid metal) that spreads the metal paste that is active and cause malfunction with expensive repairs that will be needed, use ONLY a high grade proven paste as it will do the same job e.g Thermal Grizzly.

    OK i will do that but can u suggest me what to apply on those processors beside gpu where the pink coloured paste was now somewhat dried up i know that is also a light reason behind heat, shall i put thermal pads there or something else u suggest
    Use the same Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut Extreme paste that is used for the CPU/GPU onto those components also, as they also get hot, that is why Acer have used that OEM pink paste as a paste shield to the main cooling copper heat shield to cool those components. Make sure that you thoroughly clean the CPU/GPU and those components with Isopropyl alcohol first and then apply the Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut Extreme paste with the 'pea dot method' and minimally, you don't need allot of paste to overflow, repaste exactly like and the same as the OEM is been done.

    Use the Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut Extreme paste and apply this paste with the 'pea dot method' as that is designed for high temps and does a very good job. I've seen the damage that 'liquid metal paste' does as and if this paste melts and spread onto the motherboard? Your laptop will be damaged and will shorten components and will need to be replaced. I've used the Kryonaut Extreme paste and it works very well, also use a good tablet laptop cooler to reduce and to keep temps consistent and lower to the max temps as that also works. With laptops and especially gaming laptops they are designed to work at high temps and these high temps are not unusual. Your main mission is for your Nitro 5 AN515-43 and for you to keep the CPU/GPU at and below the max temps that will turn your laptop off, there is no other cooling options with laptops unless you mod your laptop to extremes cooling measures.

  • The one that you ordered is the ordinary Kryonaut and not the >>> Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut Extreme change it and get this new paste that is a better and newer formula for higher temps.
