As i see a lot of topic meet issue about high cpu ( 85-97 cc) when playing game (Gpu is so good around 60-65cc) but i saw you guys could solve with repaste it. the problem is that i cant do it by my self and in my country, Thailand, i can’t call on-site service to repaste my predator.
I just want to asked if it fine to continue using this laptop with high temp (to make sure that would not break or get damage in future) or shall i find the way to repaste new silicone?

    As long as your laptop isn't shutting down from heat you are okay, I believe 100c is the absolute maximum you want to go so you're definitely getting up there. If repasting isn't an option I would look into undervolting your cpu, I used Intel Extreme Tuning Utility to bump CPU voltage down and I haven't seen CPU go above 80c with heavy long term gaming. I used -0.100 undervolt but every chip is different so you might have to experiment a little. You might not see equal results but it should help bring temps down.

    No not at all. FPS stayed exactly the same for me

    Replace the thermal paste with Liquid Metal usning the following videos.

    Your temps will drop on average of 5-10 dregrees.

     

    Run the Under Volting to help with the temps too.

    I suggest you to repaste using MX-4 or thermal grizzly kryonaut, as liquid metal is very hard or impossible to be removed from the heatsink.

    Always post the following characterisitcs of the device:
    -Model number
    -Part number(not required, but helpful)
    -CPU
    -GPU
    -Operating system

    Helios 300 and Nitro 5 users DO NOT update the BIOS to version 1.22 if you don't want the keyboard's backlight to turn off after 30 seconds even when the device is plugged in.
