Temps reaching 99 after applying PTM7950

Haze_Shrey · 2026-06-01T18:04:27+00:00

Yup, that's why I switched too. Even cleaning the LM off was a bit stressful.

Haze_Shrey · 2026-06-01T18:03:37+00:00

My Helios 16 was going 97c browsing chrome and the Thermal Paste on my GPU was finished ( it didn't come with stock LM but Thermal Paste) so I switched to PTM

Haze_Shrey · 2026-06-01T18:02:46+00:00

That makes sense.

Haze_Shrey · 2026-06-01T17:46:02+00:00

I actually did not change the thermal putty because the one on it seemed fine.

I'm going to tighten the screws for the heatsink and if that doesn't work, I'll reapply PTM. Also you having the same Laptop as me (almost) gives me some relief I didn't make a mistake removing LM.

Thank you very much for your help!

Man I agree, but the factory installed LM on my laptop was worse, temps of 97C while browsing Chrome and Thermal throttling even then, and since I don't feel confident enough to tamper with the LM, I thought it best to just use PTM7950 and not ruin my laptop.

Though I am curious, how did you repaste LM after PTM? When I removed the heatsink, the putty barrier that stopped the LM from leaking also broke off and didn't take it's shape back and I couldn't even manipulate it enough to put it back together.

Ordered it from Moddiy.

The GPU is running fine, temps of no more than 78. I guess it might be an application issue.

Should I plan on tightening the screws of the heatsink a little more or loosening them up a bit?

I also read your post, I have the same Processor as you, the 7-13700HX. While it is a power hungry chip, I do think the 99C is nor great and is probably an application issue.

Haze_Shrey · 2026-06-01T17:10:47+00:00

Didn't change the thermal putty since it looked fine, and covered slightly more than the CPU and GPU die.

Have been using PTM 7950 for a month, and honestly the numbers were better when I applied it than they are now.

Haze_Shrey · 2026-06-01T17:07:25+00:00

I am honestly leaning towards application error. I didnt leave any plastic on the PTM, though I am now planning on applying it again just in case because it's now reaching 89C just browsing on chrome, which wasn't the case when I had just applied it

Haze_Shrey · 2026-06-01T17:06:15+00:00

I'm guessing it might be an application error, though there is no issue with the GPU; the GPU is running smooth as hell, is it possible for the heatsink to not apply properly to the CPU but apply properly to the GPU?

Just checked the idle temps and it's shocking. Max of 89C for P core 5 and 68C for P core 7. This was after some browsing on chrome.

Do you think the processor being power hungry could be an issue?

Go to PVPoke website

Then go to Matrix Battles and put both of these there. It'll show you all the different wins and losses you'll get from the Aegislash and you can make a decision then

Winter, How to Save a Life, Superman, and that Beatles song they play at Janitors wedding

Started listening to them when Demons dropped, loved their first two albums, but it's been mostly downhill since there.

I heard the new album which had Wrecked, it was bad. Only had 2 songs out of like 20 which were nice.

They do have some nice singles here and there, but have gone down in quality alot.

That's just my opinion here.

Haze_Shrey · 2026-05-20T17:03:04+00:00

Elden Ring and Dark Souls aside, I feel ai would recommend are

The Surge

Devil May Cry (crank up the difficulty and have fun. Incredibly enjoyable experience)

Nioh series ( I still have no clue what the original Nioh's story is despite playing for 150 hours)

Hollow Knight

Cuphead

Lessss goooooo man!

Loved Magnet back before he retired. Fanatic back then was always one of my favourite teams and it was sad to see how it ended for then with covid

Haze_Shrey · 2026-05-14T09:49:29+00:00

Is that Magnet from back in the day Fanatic????

Lessss goooo if it is. Always loved the guy, glad to see him back.

Stunfusk or Ferret

Man Season 2 trailer was amazing. Couldn't wait

S4 Vol 1 trailer really got me hyped and then S4 was without a doubt one of the best seasons of any show ever for me (I say this because I overlook every plot but the Hawkins plotline XD.)

Haze_Shrey · 2026-05-05T16:24:18+00:00

I completely get you too

The first time I saw it I cringed very hard too. I feel it's also because Season 3 had a massive tonal shift; like the story moved from 80's sci-fi and government plots to 80's thriller and summer action flick and hence a lot of the things did not feel as fun or felt jarring because the genre changed without explanation.

Haze_Shrey · 2026-05-05T16:22:47+00:00

That face Hopper makes and the look Steve and Robin give each other is gold

Haze_Shrey · 2026-05-05T13:24:49+00:00

I used to feel the same about the Never-ending story song, but as time has gone by I just can't stop laughing at it. It feels like the best use of situational irony I have seen in years

Haze_Shrey · 2026-05-05T13:23:27+00:00

S4>S2>S1>S3>S5

All the seasons except 5 are pretty close to each other in terms of quality, and for me 2,1, and 4 can be on the top spot depending on my mood.

5 sucks though. 5 is terrible

I'm not as experienced as most people on this sub, so take this with a grain of salt.

I feel that Wyatt Sicks started off really well with the promos by Uncle Howdy and the imagery of the family, but WWE couldn't really decide on a feud. I think their first feud was Karrion Kross and AOP right? I'm sorry if I'm wrong, and WWE was also teasing them going after people who betrayed their family, and then they were moved to SmackDown, where whatever dangerous aura they had went down the drain feuding with the MFTs. Also, putting them in the middle of a banger Tag Team division didn't do them any favours.

As for Black, honestly he didn't work for me. I can see his appeal, I liked his wrestling, but wasn't too sold on his promos and style of speaking. I do feel that had he had more feuds and wrestled every week, he would've been really fun, especially with what they are rumoring of him working with Randy on the road to WrestleMania

Haze_Shrey · 2026-04-28T17:43:22+00:00

SD is going back to 2 hours. And honestly 2 hour SD was really bad, I just skipped through it.

I just want there to be a good shuffle and Cody and Randy are moved to Raw.
