For Intel Burn Test, I saw the CPU no longer hitting 105C and throttling 3.4 GHz at 8 threads but instead capped at 95-96! Before replacing the thermal paste, I could only go up to 1050 MHz before the driver crashing. In many games, the GT 650M exceeded no more than 85C at 1070 MHz core, and 2995 MHz memory! The thermal paste added stability making me go up to 1100 MHz on core speed before crashing. I got a consistent 10C decrease of temperatures from the i7-3720QM, but the GPU gains I got were phenomenal. Before scraping off the original paste, I noticed I saw bare die on the CPU and GPU! I was hoping for around a 10C decrease per component, but after stress testing I was amazed by the improvements primarily the GPU. This was after a quick cleaning near the end of the cleaning process.
