So I had purchased some Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut because I wanted to re-paste my aging 1060 GPU (doesn’t look like I will be buying a new video card any time soon ).
I also purchased a copper NVME heatsink that someone posted on here that fits nice in the framework case…
…then I figured, while I am here and have the thermal paste, why don’t I try it on the CPU on the framework!
…So glad I did it! Here are some pics during the process…
… I have actually had to re-paste many aging laptops in the past but this was the quickest \ easiest of them all to date.
I haven’t done enough testing so far but the new paste on the graphics card (as expected) made a huge difference! and so did the heatsink on the NVME… the cpu however (also expected) only seems a couple of degrees better since it was fairly new paste anyways. that being said… the CPU hasn’t hit 100 degrees on FarCry or Cyberpunk yet like they normally do… so maybe it did help… time will tell!
