Hey,
Yeah, the kraken z73 finally arrived yesterday. I was blown away by how much cooler the cpu runs now. I was able to run realbench for 1 hour now, peak temperature was 77C while average was...

I just realized I forgot to write what my temperatures are in my original post :D . It goes to 98-99C within 5 minutes of realbench.
I'm debating with myself right now whether I should switch to...

I'm still testing my new setup to see how low I can undervolt while stable in prime95, realbench, etc...
My setup:
CPU: i9-10900K
Cooler: bequiet Dark Rock Pro 4 (with both fans installed)...

What's the difference between these two cards, I know the strix is more expensive, but why? In previous generations TUF was considered bad, but with ampere TUF seems even better than some high-end...

Alrighty, I'll try 98% then. And thank you for all the help mate, you've really helped a lot. I'd add to your rep, but it won't let me because I already did it recently :D .

Yeah it was bugged for some reason but it works now. I turned them both too 100% and damn, it sounds like a jet engine :D and temps went down drastically too.
But the laptop turned off after 3-4...

Thank you, that one works great! Why is there no manual control slider though? With the other profile I could set the fans to 100% myself regardless of temperature. Would it be possible with this one...

Well, I tried doing that, changing cpu from 151 to 166 and gpu from 152 to 165, and fans turned off. I panicked and held the power button for 10 seconds. After turning the laptop back on, it ran disk...

Yeah, I think it went down by 1-2 watts on average, and VR temps maxed at 92 degrees, so 4 degrees less than before.




Really? Fans can go even faster than this? That's great :D. If I...

I tried running RealBench stress test on -50 mV and laptop tuned off after about 10-15 minutes (even though it survived 1 hour on Prime95 before that), so I increased it to -45 mV and it survived 1...

Yup, just checked with battlefield again, it goes to 96 degrees:

I don't have a thermometer here right now, but it does feel like room temperature is 28-30...

Here's the video from before (before cleaning and repasting):

I made a short video with temps and other stuff on screen to give you a better idea of what's happening:

This was in campaign (offline) mode, but when...

New paste arrived today and I used it on everything this time, no thermal pads left. Temperature is still the same unfortunately, ~76 for gpu and ~92 for cpu (still throttling from 3.4 to 2.5 GHz...

I did some tests with the pads now and I think you're 100% right. Unfortunately, I ran out of paste , so I have to wait for a new one before trying it out.. Thank you though, should've listened to...

I disassembled it again, here are the pictures:

Hmm I'll give it a try. There's no risk like damaging the fans or something?
Btw, 20 minutes, nice man, that's really fast :D

I don't know if it's stable at -0.090 yet, I haven't tried lower than -0.045. Will try that later.
I was hoping I wouldn't have to open it up again, but it seems like I'll have to. It's a nightmare...

Alrighty, got it.
Thank you for helping ;)

Yes, I have a 4720HQ. it's not overclocked or undervolted right now. During stress test in Intel XTU, the cpu temperature doesn't go above 82 degrees but it keeps showing "Power limit throttling:...

Thank you. Can I just put the stock silicon pads between them to prevent touching? The ones that came with the m.2 ssd?

I initially went with 0.5mm for everything, but after I put the heatsink back on, I inspected the thermal pads from the sides with a lamp, and I could clearly see the light coming through between the...

I haven't changed the thermal paste in my rog g751jy in 2 years so I did it yesterday. I also cleaned all the dust. Before doing it, while playing Battlefield 1 my gpu was constantly at 86-87 degrees...

I was thinking if I should get a 2.5" samsung 860 evo (1TB) since I have an empty 2.5" slot on the left side but then I noticed the m.2 ssd might block the way. The pictures are below:
...

It is indeed from the web :D , I haven't opened mine yet, want to make sure I'm ready before I do.
It's a screenshot from a youtube video where a guy just changed cpu and gpu paste, he didn't even...
