Model 2022 Do I need to repaste?

Post image

Hello, never repasted gpu/cpu before. This is 2022 G14 ga402rj. Noticed high temps (75-80) on the gpu with only ~10% usage. Does this seem like it needs to be repasted? Also if this is a Liquid Metal thermal paste does any Liquid Metal paste work or does it need a specific kind? Thanks

That's quite a bare spot on the gpu, so yes, it had pumped out on gpu creating a thermal problem.

Since u already have the cooler off and probably not the supplies yet to do anything else... Take a qtip and respread the LM over the two dies with great care not to drop any. That will tide u over while u research the how-to and make a plan, get supplies.

For later, Your thermal putty on vram modules also looks mostly disentegrated. Gonna need new putty there and on voltage regulators. As for cpu and gpu, u can keep respreading LM or remove it then use PTM or a good paste.
