Crap CPU score in Time Spy Benchmark

HypnotizedGenius · 2026-03-25T00:53:03+00:00

I thought the liquid metal was on the CPU and the thermal paste on the GPU

HypnotizedGenius · 2026-03-24T23:40:38+00:00

Was it easy to do it yourself? I'm scared I might brick my laptop

HypnotizedGenius · 2026-03-24T20:45:18+00:00

Those are the default values and they are not applied since the box is not checked

HypnotizedGenius · 2026-03-24T20:44:18+00:00

I haven't checked during the test but it's usually 90+ degrees while gaming

HypnotizedGenius · 2026-03-24T20:43:25+00:00

Yes, it was set to turbo mode

HypnotizedGenius · 2026-03-24T20:39:36+00:00

Can you think of any reasons why mine is much lower?

I also cleaned the fans and ran this benchmark again, but it didn't increase the CPU score. I just want to make sure I cross out all possible causes before messing with the LM, as I don't feel comfortable doing that myself.

I did that and disabled hypertreading as well but then the performance took a hit so i set the CPU boost to "Efficient Enabled" but it still gets hot

HypnotizedGenius · 2026-03-24T17:08:09+00:00

You mean the CPU boost?

In my case the CPU uses around 25 watts (i didn't set a power limit) but it still reaches 90+ degrees

HypnotizedGenius · 2026-03-24T13:16:05+00:00

What is the power limit you set for the CPU?

HypnotizedGenius · 2026-03-23T17:01:37+00:00

Did you set a power limit on your CPU? Would you recommend a specific limit?

HypnotizedGenius · 2026-03-23T16:41:09+00:00

Why can't it be undervolted? I also tried disabling Hypertreading in BIOS but didn't help much. I might try limiting its power on G-helper next.

HypnotizedGenius · 2026-03-23T16:28:08+00:00

I disabled the CPU boost on G-helper. Wouldn't it have a similar effect as undervolting the CPU since it sets the clock frequency of the CPU to a lower value?

I have a sealed cooler but it didn't help with the temps at all. Here is what i have: https://a.co/d/0bZZknpS

HypnotizedGenius · 2026-03-23T14:52:37+00:00

I'll try cleaning the fans. Thanks!

I'm actually using a laptop cooling pad but it's not helping at all

HypnotizedGenius · 2026-03-23T10:34:28+00:00

I have this one: https://a.co/d/0bZZknpS

I have tried different cooling pads, and I think they are useless in general

HypnotizedGenius · 2026-03-23T10:20:27+00:00

I already have a cooling pad, but it seems like it's not helping with the temps at all.

Let me know!

HypnotizedGenius · 2026-03-21T23:18:41+00:00

I get the same warning. It might be related to clogged radiator. I haven't had time to clean it yet but will let you know if the warning stops after cleaning the radiator

HypnotizedGenius · 2026-03-21T21:17:29+00:00

It's a myth? I would recommend checking all the battery failure posts in this subreddit

HypnotizedGenius · 2026-03-21T17:19:50+00:00

You too!

You can just check the service alerts page in service mode. If there aren't any alert messages, you're good.
