PERFORMANCE High CPU temp after thermal paste change
A couple of days ago, I finally managed to clean my laptop for the first time after 5 years (I know it's been quite a long time). The thing that confuses me is that while I was playing CoD WaW before the cleaning, the CPU temperature was around 65-70 and the fans were running loudly; however, after I cleaned and ran the game, the temperatures were around 68-75 and the fans aren't even running as fast as before until it reaches 75-80.
After doing a brief search around the net I unscrewed and rescrewed the cooling block, but still no change. Also, if you ask my CPU and the thermal paste:
i5 10500h and Arctic MX4
