Hey everyone,

I’d like to ask what might be causing this issue with my device(Crosshair 15 A11UCK). Recently, my laptop has been heating up much more than usual. Before, my CPU temps would stay around 60°C while gaming, but now they rise to 80°C and sometimes spike even higher.

Both fans seem to be working fine and the vents aren’t clogged, so I’m kinda stuck figuring out what changed. I’m thinking it might be time to repaste.

Any recommendations and advice? What are you the best thermal paste to use? Do I need to replace or add thermal pads while I’m at it?

Thanks in advance y'all!

Temperature in the pic is while playing Valheim/Valorant (Before it is max at 70°C, now they’re much higher.)
