- Win 10 pro 64
- Asus r500vj laptop (a few years old)
Original symptom - Laptop shutting down, software suggests CPU and GPU was getting too hot.
Solution - Opened up laptop, removed headsink (cleaned) with 100% alcohol, added arctic silver ceramique , and for the GPU, replaced the thermal pad. As this is a media PC, i placed it upside down, so the air intake could get full amount of air, and heat can dissipate through the vents at the bottom (MB is upside down with the cooler on the underside of the MB)
Temperatures have dropped, but no where near as expected.

CPU - Drop 10-15 degrees
GPU - Drop 10 degrees.
I know ceramique has a burn in, but i was kind of expecting a bigger temp drop. Particularly when idling. Can ceramique expire? it looked of reasonable consistency, although might be a year or so old. Although the new thermal pad for the GPU also had a similar temp drop.
Any opinions of if this is normal, or other things to try
