Hello. I have a Nitro 5 model AN515-54-728C.
I noticed that my CPU reaches really high temperatures when gaming (90-95 degrees celsius) and decided to undervolt. I also found some settings to use on throttlestop to lower cpu usage or power or something. It helped a bit, but my laptop was still running at high temps so i decided to repaste. It wasnt the best of a repaste, since it was my first time. The only thing i forgot is that i didnt re apply the pink globs on the vrams, and just normally lowered the heatsink and screwed it back in as it is. When i tested my cpu, it seemed that my temps had dropped a bit, but then i realized it starts at about 60-70 degrees celcius, just to gradually reach 80-85 degrees again (still on the modified throttlestop settings). Did i do something wrong when repasting? i might have left a bit of lint when repasting, and i couldnt get all of the old paste out of the little transistors around the gpu. I also realized that my GPU runs a bit hotter than it used to, but not too much. I also did a stress test on prime95. My CPU started at about 53 degrees celsius and climbed to about 70 degrees in about 10-20 minutes. Did i mess up my repaste? Thank you in advance.

I used Arctic-Mx4 2019 edition as my new paste
