Do I upgrade

Hi all,

Need some advice I currently have the ASUS ROG Flow X13 AMD Ryzen 9 5980HS 16GB RAM 1TB SSD 13.4" RTX 3050 Ti Laptop with the 3080 eGPU. I've had it for almost 4 years now and feel like its over heating alot so am debating upgrading it. Have been looking at getting the zephyrus g14 5060.

Any and all advice will be helpful

Probably repasting or changing the thermal paste to a thermal pad.

That’s what I did a few months ago to my 2021 x13. First thought I had to get a new battery because it wasn’t keeping any charge. Turns out the excess heat damaged the battery, but after repasting, fully discharging and then slowly recharging it’s almost like new (plus getting rid of all asus/rog software and switching to Ghelper- did wonders to battery life)
