    High CPU temp on Laptop
    « on: August 28, 2016, 07:36:44 PM »
    Laptop: Lenovo N586 w/ Windows 10

    I have noticed my CPU temp has been around 80 C with only the OS and Google Chrome loaded. (no gaming)
    I decided to disassemble the laptop to clean any dust, and re-apply thermal paste. (first time since 4 years of use).
    (Thermal paste amount was smaller than pea-size) *

    Once dust was removed, and thermal paste applied, I assembled the laptop back together, and Temp is actually higher (around 90-100C)
    The fan and everything else seems to work.

    I am not against buying a laptop cooler, but I am concerned that i'm getting this temp with no heavy load on the system. And with the laptop not being on for more than 30-60min at a time in any given day.

    Thanks for reading, and hopefully someone can spot something I may be overlooking.

      May be different paste or not seated perfectly.
