    Laptop overheating after replacement thermal paste

    Hi. I have Asus X55C laptop from year 2013. It has i3-2328M CPU. I replaced stock thermal paste with high quality thermal paste. Before thermal paste replacement, I measured CPU temperature Around 65-70 degrees Celcius with stock thermal paste. If after the replace thermal paste, I measured CPU temperature around 80-84 degrees Celcius and fan don't stop when system is idle. I replaced the thermal paste several times but still did not change. Where is the problem?

      Is the heatsink on top of the CPU properly to dissipate the heat generated by the CPU?

      Does the logic board power up ok - other than this heating issue? Inspect all sides of the CPU to be sure the metal is touching the top layers of your heatsink compound.

          Can thermal paste cause corrosion?
          by caspian
          Dear members,

          I have got an ordinary gray thermal paste that has no name/model on the box.
          I put some of this thermal paste on a 128-pin QFP IC. A bit of this thermal paste was put on pins of the IC.
          I tried to clean the pins by thinner but the thermal paste cannot be cleaned from the pins properly. because the pins are tiny and the thermal paste is stuck between them.
          Is it possible that the thermal paste damages pins of the IC in long term by creating corrosion or something?
          Is it safe to leave the thermal paste on the pins?
          I guess the thermal paste...

          Dell Latitude 3510 Overheating & Fan Control Issue – Need Help
          by Ven
          Dell Latitude 3510 (Intel Core i7-10510U) CPU Overheating

          Issue Description:
          1. CPU Overheating to 100°C
            • When I start the laptop from a cold state, it takes about a minute to reach temps around 80-90-100°C, and CPU thermal throttling triggers.​
            • When the CPU fan is running at full speed (by disconnecting PWM and TACH cables), CPU temperature stays around 50-60°C.
            • However, when the fan is connected normally to the motherboard, it does not kick in at high temperatures.
            • I also noticed a few times that the fan kicked in for a very short time, but it does not stay on consistently.

          Best solvent for removing thermal paste from LGA sockets?
          by dicky96
          So I have TUF Z390 mobo with a bit of the grey thermal paste in the LGA 1151 socket right near one edge. probably from when the clamp was fastened down without a CPU fitted, and there was a bit of paste on the clamp.

          The motherboard actually works fine (you can see there is no thermal paste on the ends of the pins themselves), but it would be nice to clean it out.

          I've done a bit of googling and found suggestions from using this stuff....

          Can an overheating bga blow out a powerboard?
          by dropfry
          Hello, guys. I fixed a monitor the other day, but I don't have a strong understanding of electronics and was curious about how the PFC and a couple of mosfets on the powerboard blew out. Here is what was known about the monitor:

          I bought it "as-is" hoping to salvage it for replacement parts. However when I plugged it in it powered up and worked fine for about an hour. After that the monitor's power would be very irratic and turn off and on several times. I opened it up and noticed that the mainboard had a faulty heatsink on the main BGA chip. Not only was it not making...
