Today I changed thermal pad on my GPU to Arctic Silver 5 thermal paste. After that I checked the temperature in SpeedFan. At first it showed ~90, then 0, then 230 Celsius. After seeing 230 I switched my laptop off. The same paste is on CPU and it stays on 40 Celsium.
Could it be a glitch or my gpu is melting?
EDIT: I couldn't tell how how the heatsink was, but I could feel warm when I put my finger close to it. Not the heatsink though, it's kind of metalic frame on the other side of motherboard around GPU and CPU area.
how hot was the GPU heatsink? – Nate Koppenhaver – 2011-12-30T23:49:16.117
1Did you say that your replaced a pad with paste?! That won't work -- pads can fill space, paste cannot. – David Schwartz – 2011-12-31T00:12:50.360
