Consider the characteristics of thermal paste when choosing it for your system.
Consider the characteristics of thermal paste when choosing it for your system.
I reviewed the entire discussion. It seems like you were looking for a fix but overlooked everyone’s suggestions, then asserted your answer was correct.
yes i konw it can sound like that. but the amonut i actually care is just enough to write this thread. im just glad my laptop works now. the only reason im continuing to write is to understand why you guys are saying the nt h1 isent the problem it makes sense. on the gpu of this laptop, the nt h1 works just fine, so we can rule out the thermal paste beeing bad. the thermal conductivity of nt h1 is about 3.9 W/mk. vs 12.5W/mk for the kryonaut. So the pure amonut of heat the paste can conduct is lower. that isent a problem when you have a large IHS/gpu die that can spread the heat, lowering the heat flux per area. Compared to the small die of a laptop cpu. That along with the low amont of pressure of the leaf spring mount wich leads to a larger gap, also favouring a higher thermal conductivity. Is that understandeble?
The most probable explanation is that you handled the installation differently each time. I note that the variation between Kryonaut and Noctua paste is only a slight difference, something many precise testing sources confirm. Also, pressure seems to have no impact on how the paste performs.
