Minor space issue inside the CPU chip (laptop)
You should be cautious. The temperatures you mentioned—over 80°C with a cooling pad and then reaching 95°C—suggest potential overheating issues. Even after changing the thermal paste, the high readings indicate the CPU may still be struggling to cool properly. It’s wise to monitor the situation closely or consider further diagnostics before continuing use.
I understand what you're referring to by a "Dot." Here are some pictures of the dice. Regarding your point, Lappys tend to run hotter than a typical desktop due to their design, and I assume you're testing performance with AIDA64 benchmarks on this device. I don't know the exact purpose of these tests—whether you're checking for overheating or just running standard checks. Running such stress tests can increase temperature, so it's wise to avoid pushing it too hard before you run out of time.
During idle, the CPU reaches 45-50°C. When using Chrome, Spotify, and Discord, it stays between 45-55°C. During gaming at maximum settings, it rises to 60-80°C. These temperatures were measured after reapplying thermal paste and spreading it evenly instead of just applying a single glob. Occasionally it can reach 60°C.
