^^ They use crappy TIM on the inspiron, I opened mine up and changed it to MX-3 and have seen a large reduction in temps.
The stuff they use is dry and solid and looks like it could crack easily, in fact it removes too easily compared to other TIM I have cleaned. I didn't even need any IPA to come off clean from the CPU and GPU.

yeah ive heard it was a problem with the heatsink they were using since it is shared between the cpu and gpu (although its that way with most laptops anyways) but i never thought about the thermal paste being the problem, im glad youve fixed the temps though!
