same thing happened for me. I bought new thermal paste and it decreased heat by about 25 degrees. Make sure you clean the old stuff off with alcohol and let fully dry before applying new paste.

Seems a bit soon for the paste to have gone dry but I’d go the cheap option of cleaning out the intake and exhaust as well as the fan and changing the thermal paste. Could solve your problem. Cleaning and thermal paste change on my PlayStation really helped

Use this while you order something better. Do not use Corsair Thermal paste for too long.

Also check if there is dust in your fans and see if your cooler is screwed tightly over your cpu.

Never had paste wear out or stop working. Usually it is just the leafs in the cooling block need to be cleaned out.

Hi Robert,

Unless there's not a good connection, your issue is most likely not related to the thermal paste.

Yep on a junk HP which i will never buy again. And this is probably your problem and if you have a HP it is for sure your problem.
