The gaming notebook in question had been going over 99 degrees during heavy load (according to Acer's own PredatorSense fan control and temp monitoring software). I wanted to get it re-pasted but was not inclined to do this work on my own, feeling I'd botch it. I found a local computer store in Karachi that could take care of it and once I got it back from them, the temps were down 15-17 degrees. A month went by and the temps started climbing up again, with one particular core going over 99 degrees, this time according to CPUID HWMonitor.
So I thought I'd give it a go and open up the machine. I watched a video and followed instructions and finally got a good look at the innards, the photo of which I'm sharing. The CPU is on the left side in the picture. Any suggestions on what would be the course of action here to rectify the overheating CPU? Should I take it back to the store or start from scratch on my own? Thanks in advance.
