I recently took the terrible stock thermal paste off of my lenovo y50 and replaced it with some Arctic Silver 5. Before my max stressed temps were around 76?C. Now they spike to 95? right after starting the stress test, and then the laptop thermal throttles to 90. Is this normal for a fresh application of AS5? Is it going to cure and get better??
PS: I've re tried applying AS5 3 times with the same results, and I've tried the small grain of rice method and the spread method.
Any help would be appreciated.
update: after leaving it for a bit, it takes longer to reach 95?
