Hi again, 60-65 at IDLE? Or 60-65 during load? I've never seen IDLE temps that high without some kind of cooling deficiency or interference. My i7 is the highest idle I've seen and even that doesn't get that high. Granted, I'm hardly...

Hi StevenJDM, That temp. is very hot (the 60-65) even for a mobile chip. It sounds like the cooling setup is compromised. Depending on the laptop's assembly/disassembly, you may want to try and open it up and clean out the heat sink...

Hi, QHN is right on, basically. You're in that grey area of battery life for Li-ION batteries. It's even money whether or not you'll be able to salvage it, you may have to just replace it. In that vein, I would only add to QHN's...

Hi again, So the confusion was mine. This is often the case! Just some other notes on the application: When putting a bit of compound on the CPU, I usually push out just a tiny bit onto the center of the core. For an exact amount,...
