I think my laptop might need new thermal paste. It always ran quite hot but it seems to be even hotter lately

Replaced it with Arctic MX-7 (previously was Arctic MX-6 from last year I think). This is so much better. The fan isn't even on!

I also managed to properly connect the second antenna to my wifi card (it was previously taped on) so maybe I'll get a better wifi connection too.

Now I can run stress -c 4 and it doesn’t even reach 90°C and barely throttles (to 3.1GHz due to hitting the PL1 power limit of 47W) instead of reaching 99°C and throttling constantly and the hinge near the fan getting so hot it was painful to touch like it did before. If I undervolt by -75mV it doesn’t throttle at all or go above 85°C.
