What, this long and no-one has counter-quipped with “you have really small rain drops in your neck of the woods”? I'm disappointed, GD. P

Ah, **** it.

Wait what?! Did they put any paste on the CPU, or just everywhere else? Or did they put so much on that it got squeezed out and drenched the entire package? Ugh

Exactly!

IIRC there's a pic somewhere on that website with a mobo coated in Arctic Silver. Except for where applicable.

Tell me about it, my GPU (a 760M) is dead when loaded over 75C

I down clocked over 20% and the thing still hits over 75C with regularity
When I pulled the heatsink off (laptop, GT 780DXR) I found most thermal paste on the sides of the CPU and GPU.
Re Application of fresh paste solved most of the overheating in 15 minutes issue, but I am afraid that the GPU itself has been damaged as it still doesnt stop thermal overloading.

Any recs for a new laptop though?
I was thinking the GE70 Apache, since its the successor of what I own.
