Answer» Laptop: Lenovo N586 W/ Windows 10
I have noticed my CPU temp has been around 80 C with only the OS and Google Chrome loaded. (no gaming)
I decided to disassemble the laptop to clean any dust, and re-apply thermal paste. (FIRST time since 4 years of use).
(Thermal paste amount was smaller than pea-size) *
Once dust was REMOVED, and thermal paste applied, I assembled the laptop back together, and Temp is actually higher (around 90-100C)
The fan and everything else seems to work.
I am not against buying a laptop COOLER, but I am concerned that i'm getting this temp with no heavy load on the system. And with the laptop not being on for more than 30-60min at a time in any given day.
Thanks for reading, and hopefully someone can spot something I may be overlooking.May be different paste or not seated PERFECTLY.
