Hey guys so I’m still working on reviving this machine the first photo is how I see all the heat sinks in guides the fans and heatsink are one assembly, but mines is not one piece, not sure if that’s is due to the previous owner replacing fans or whatever but I’ve been having overheating issues where it boot loops, hitting 100c in bios and once boots it hits thermal limit and loops, so is the the key to my problem? I’m just spit balling here now but are the fans supposed to be separate ? And can I like do anything about it, the person I bought it from said the fans were replaced.

Hey guys so I bought this Asus rog Zephyrus g14 and been trying to repair it with no luck, pc boots to bios fine reads all hardware but temps ramp up quickly to 100c and when try to boot to windows it thermals spikes to thermal
Limit and it boot loops , I’ve tried repasting with regular thermal
Paste until PTM pads get her but wanted to get it to boot to run diagnostics and atleast do some light use so was trying HY510

Okay so update on prior post, got this machine today, in amazing condition, bought off eBay for around 300 usd after shipping locally here in 🇯🇲, when bought was told that they got it 2nd hand and was told needed ram, they bought ram but after trying to boot it kept boot looping, I initially thought was just them not being too technical as after probing them they said they never installed and SSD / OS, after getting it I tried adding my ssd with a fresh install of windows but realized pc booted , rog swoosh came up and keyboard came on, then windows recovery started, then immediately powered off and started over the loop, so I tried booting to bios to see what’s wrong, as I have hiren boot cd and some other tools but as soon as started running them started looping back from ventoy screen , so I booted back to bios see what’s going on and realized temps hitting 101c in just idle on bios, so definitely overheating and after checking in with you guys advised to check paste and to no surprise thermal paste on gpu dried up and cpu LM not on the die, so I’m going to repaste

Here’s my dilemma, locally there’s no place where I can get LM paste or PTM, so I’m thinking of using some HY510 thermal paste (I can get from a friend who did a pc build) and undervolt , to atleast have the laptop functional while I order and wait for PTM 7950/ LM paste, that way I can do diagnostics tests and use for day to day

Also thought on LM paste vs PTM for the long term, I’ll probably have this machine for some years , I’ll mainly use for web dev, media streaming, studying and some 1080p gaming medium/low settings with dlss(Apex, Destiny 2, Where Winds meet, a few AAA titles, indies and emulation) will I have to worry about repasting if I get LM and how would temps look LM vs PTM vs thermal paste

Trying to work on this laptop got it and it’s boot looping, seeing where the temps running crazy hot going to try and repaste, aside from that everything seems fine keyboard powers on, all hardware reads just boot loops , goes to rog swoosh then windows repair then loops,
