PC specialist Recoil ll 15.6 overheating and throttling

[NuwDuow]

I bought a 2nd hand laptop a few days ago and it arrived 2 days ago.the person before I bought the laptop first bought it in 2019 and didn’t change anything to the laptop. the temperature was just unbelievably high! On Fortnite the temp on the cpu were 92-97 degrees while on the gpu 80-86/87 degrees which is causing massive throttle
And decrease in fps and it stutters.
I have also tried undervolting the laptop but it didn’t change anything
This is my specs

Intel I7-8750H
Rtx 2060
16gb (2x8) ram 2133
144hz display
1TB SSD

Did they transfer ownership to you so you can get support via pcs, if not get them to go into there account and transfer it to you

They have already sent the transfer. But I haven’t yet to speak with pcs.

If its 3 years old, has he ever serviced it, I would suggest taking the back off, giving it a good clean out and repasting it, then see what the temps are like

No he hasn’t but I’ll try and Repaste it but from the looks of it the fans look quite dirty.

I'd suggest you get one of these to blow all the muck out before you repaste

alright thank you

Which thermal paste suits best with the recoil ll 15.6? Because I am experiencing thermal throttling while playing games up to 98 degrees on the cpu and the thermal paste hasn’t been changed in 3 years. I want a thermal paste that can last long for a few months (6-7) before I can change it again.

We would normally recommend thermal grizzly Kryonaut repasting about once a year

I heard bad things about kryonaut on laptops . Pump outs and lasting only a few days but it might depend on how you paste it and which laptop it is

I've never heard bad things about it anywhere, do you have references? What do you mean about 'pump outs and lasting only a few days? I doubt very much anyone's got valid evidence of that being the case unless they've made some kind of mistake?

I did google this and found a reddit thread which had vagaries but saw nothing specific.

Kryonaut is class you cant go wrong with it.

That being said I personally just use MX-4. Its relatively cheap and does a decent job.

Ive used kryonaut exclusively on laptops and desktops for years and never had any issue.

Alright I’ll try it out I’ll let you know how the temperature is

Welll I can’t really judge as I haven’t tried it yet

I don’t really have any references what I mean by lasting only a few days is the temperature going up again after a few days from applying it. This is what I see in Reddit and also the review on Amazon

That would happen if it's a bad paste job. Unfortunately a lot of people on reddit and amazon have no idea what they're doing.

Kryonaut is scientifically proven to be one of the most effective pastes on the market. The application is not down to the paste, that's down to the user, and if the heatsink isn't replaced in the correct manner, or the paste isn't sufficiently applied, doesn't matter what paste it is, you're going to have problems. That's nothing to do with the paste, that's user error.

Yeah I agree so how much amount of would I apply on the gpu and cpu? And also I don’t think only thermal paste will do the job. I want to undervolt but I fear losing performance

There are plenty of tutorials on youtube for repasting.

If you're losing performance on an undervolt it's because it's been undervolted too far. A properly done undervolt will not reduce performance at all. But as with any clocking / voltage tweaks, no one can tell you what setting it needs to be at as it's dependent on your specific silicon. It's just something you have to reach through proper process and testing. Again, there are plenty of guides on undervolting.

BUT don't apply an undervolt until temps are working as expected. An undervolt should never be applied to reduce temps to workable levels. That's not at all what it's for. Temps should be optimal BEFORE applying an undervolt, the undervolt is merely to optimise temps further.

Okay I’ll see tomorrow because thats when I am receiving my thermal paste (kryonaut) and I also bought an cooling pad (KLIM Cyclone) because the one I got was useless and didn’t give me any benefits
