I have an 5 years old Asus A52JE notebook which has the following problem. The hinge was broken and I decided I will repair it. When I disassembled the device I realized that the thermal paste also very dried so I removed it also but I haven't got any spare at home so I fully assembled the machine (I screwed back the heat pipe, the cover, etc.). The next day I went to work, but my wife didn't know about my operation so she turned on the laptop about four times but of course each time that shut down when the CPU temperature reached the critical level. Later I bought the thermal paste and applied it on the CPU and on the GPU and also reinstalled the Windows and when I turned on the computer and I started to use, it reached also a very high temperature 60-70 degrees Celsius if the load was about 5% and 80-90 degrees Celsius if the CPU load was 30%. I tried to remove the thermal past and apply it again, but the result was same.
I tested the system with live xubuntu, same result so it is not Windows problem.
I tested the heat pipe with hot water and it works well.
Today I made a new test. I applied a small amount of thermal paste on the heat pipe above the CPU, and I put a heatsink on it and an outer fan onto the heatsink. The result was very interesting. The temperature decreased radically. So in my opinion the problem comes from the fan. I don't know exactly is it the failure of the fan or the fan's controller electronic.
Please share with me if you have any idea.
Thanks a lot.
Some other information:
- Temperature tester softwares: Everest, SpeedFan, RealTemp
- CPU: i3 M350
- Thermal paste: Revoltec Cooling (Thermal conductivity >4.5W/m-k, Thermal impedance: <0.081 °C-in^2/W, 10%silver compound)
