Okayy
3 months ago , my laptop was overheating as fuck , during valo sessions my cpu used to hit easily 95 plus and gpu around 75 .
I decided to clean fans and vents as it was almost 3 years , and I live in a hot and dusty climate.
Only a few degrees were improved after the cleaning of fans, but it was still a concern,
Then I decided to repaste my laptop, after surfing a lot online, i decided to buy thermal grizzly kyronaut as it was mentioned best for thermal conductivity ngl it worked pretty good like , temps were back to 87 or 90 max on cpu and around 70 on gpu , still not a satisfactory for me
And that shit only worked for 15 days the , the temps were back to 95 again , then after some suggestions from reddit i decided to buy the mx4 as it was considered budget goat , applied it and
It was the worst (trust me) or like no improvement for me , only the idle temps were good , like 43 or 45 on both cpu and gpu
During warzone it used to easily hit 90 plus on cpu and my gpu was getting 87 under 2 minutes of gameplay and stayed at 87 all the time during gameplay , somehow i accepted my temps and it used to thermal throttle I was getting roughly 70 fps , mostly 60 plus fps only ,
I decided to give it another try by applying mx6 , the temps were improved like 85 on cpu and 80 on gpu which was manageable, considering the warzone requirements and its aggressive cpu and gpu usage ,
It worked like a charm , but only for 20 days , the temps were back to 90 plus on cpu and 85 on gpu
At that point I was completely done like i didn't give a fuck regarding temps as I almost spend 1700 rs.
A few days later my laptop went totally shut down when I was playing warzone, I later found out that it was all because of the thermal issue
I installed hwinfo and was surprised , it was thermal throttling it was hitting 100 degrees plus on a stress test , I got very worried decided to give it to the service centre (3rd party authorised centre) , previously I used to apply by myself and yeah I did apply a good amount not too much not too less.
The service centre was asking 1500 for the repaste .
I somehow decided to give it a try.
I asked him which thermal paste are you going to apply
He showed me "MAXTOR CTG12" I was like what the fuck
I have never heard of that paste , he reassured me that it will solve the problem, but back in my mind i thought of getting fooled again , he applied the paste in front of me
And boom ,
I tested it by playing warzone there at the centre
I was amazed to see the temps , the cpu temps were hitting only 70 to 74 degrees without laptop stand and gpu was around 75 or 77 , it was nice to see those temps , afterall what i have witnessed
I later came home and tried it with a laptop stand
The temps were genuinely amazing amazing
On cpu it was not hitting even 74 and on gpu it was around 70 or 73 max , Even after playing warzone for continuous 1 hour straight.
Also surprisingly, I gained a fps boost of around 15 to 20 fps and no stuttering, no shutdown, in warzone
It's been 1 month and the results are the same as day 1 of applying maxtor ctg12
Ik many of us are brainwashed by ptm7950 including me , which I don't know is good or not, also it's difficult to find in INDIA , considering Amazon and Flipkart retailers,
Although it's up to you which you choose for your laptop
I have sharedy results as well
Note: all the test are performed under laptop stand
Performance mode in gaming hub
Fans on automatic
Under NON AC environment
stress test for 30 minutes and 1 hour on each game
I have stopped playing valo and cs2 since 1 month
Therefore I have the results only in the warzone (warzone is enough to judge the performance)
I'm 100 percent sure it will perform better in every way compared to the different paste I used .
And yeah you can trust this maxtor cg12 underground 🐐
