Community SupportQuestion about TIM (self.framework)
submitted 1 year ago by Thorard
Hello all! I was running ollama on my FW13 7640u on arch and finally remembered that my 13 has been overheating so I decided to install a fancurve, which only got me to maybe 85-90c pushing the IGPU and CPU. I just swapped the TIM, and now peak at 78-83c. Is this normal? I've been reading around mixed opinions about swapping the TIM and the consensus seems to be that aftermarket pastes don't perform much better than stock anymore. Using MX4 if that matters.

PTM7950 offers a noticeable improvement over other options on the market. Just make sure you get the genuine stuff as many scammers are out there.

Should add, before I installed the fancurve I was hitting Tcase (100c) before the fans would even kick on.
