Hello, i need some help. I got a gl502vsk and notice a big temperature when i play, look on the forum and see alot guides about undervolt and curve on afterbune. Make all and the temperature drop from 92 to 77. Big drop, them i decide to repaste.
I buy a coolermaster gelmaker r1 and open my laptop to repaste him. When i open i see that nasty paste and clean all, and apply the new paste. Well, now i got 82-85 with this new paste. I dont understand what happ and decide to open again, think i make some **** on repaste. Them i see, its all good, nothing bad, perfect. Now i dont know what i do to resolve this, can any1 help me?

You can't use regular thermal paste on the VRMs. It won't fill the gap properly and they will overheat.

You have to use the stock thick paste (called K5Pro) or thermal pads. If you plan on using thermal pads, measure the gaps before buying the pads. Too thick and the heatsink won't make proper contact and pressure with the GPU/CPU dies. Too thin and they will not make proper contact.

Fun fact: https://topclassactions.com/lawsuit-settlements/consumer-products/electronics/906954-asus-laptop-cla...
This issue was covered by a class action settlement that has since came and gone. Perhaps Asus might accommodate you with a repair/resolution out of warranty considering you're trying to fix a documented design flaw by reapplying thermal paste.

85C/81C is fine.
You can undervolt the CPU and GPU to improve that.
