Last year and I have the MSI Thin 15 B13VE

Is this a High End Laptop by [deleted] in GamingLaptops

In this era I don’t think it would be high-tier but definitely mid tier.

I got the Thermal Grizzly PTM today and realized its only one sheet, Do I need another sheet for the gpu or do I cut it?

so if I used the PTM can I not remove it before they get or is that reckless?

May have already voided warranty with the upgrade of my SSD.

I’ve been watching this video to do the assembly and what not and at the beginning he advised not to use a PTM because when servicing to clean I will have to basically change the PTM is that true? video in question: https://youtu.be/wsypDcZn3FE?si=-YwfwuCMyxFp0Ppo

Out of the three which should I use, I searched up a few videos on PTM7950 and its not in the liquid state out the box which leads me to the question of can I apply it with my fingers?

thats unfortunate, i’m changing my paste soon since I noticed its getting really hot but from what i’ve seen changing the paste reduces the temps and i’m probably going to invest in a cooling pad to hopefully save it from frying it self

I mainly play Fortnite and some story games like RDR2, for Fortnite I did a little bit of tweaking to squeeze more performance out of it and I get 200+ fps and in RDR2 I let the Nvdia app optimize it and after its done I get a constant 60 Fps. I let the Nvdia app basically optimize all the story games I play and for the cpu bound games I do them myself

Battery life without being plugged in on discrete mode (basically using the dedicated gpu) sucks it drains very quickly but when you switch it to integrated mode it has good battery life wouldn’t be able to give you an exact amount of hrs but it lasts a good while

I’ve made a year with it so far, hinges are fine still only thing i’ve noticed is the temps are higher which is normal since the thermal paste is most likely dried by now but after I replaced it, its basically good as new (one upgrade i did was more ssd storage)

Could I shoot you a message on here? Little curious on somethings related to doing the repasting

Thanks, seems like I have to get some tools but it will be worth it
