The pads or the paste(Tube) work either way, the pads are nice cause you don't really have to worry about over applying paste to the surface. You just basically cut the pad to size, and stick it on.
Yeah I was looking at those and ended up ordering a couple, one for the GPU and the other for the CPU. Also have that to the paste coming in but the pads look just super convenient. I just didn't know they even existed because it's been so long since I built a new desktop.

Reason I bought the thing is because the last gaming laptop I wanted for work crapped out on me, and when I bought this one on Black Friday, I called their damn sales department and negotiated 6 years of warranty, on top of more discounts buying it through the refurbished store. It was better than a damn desktop that I had at the time, and I can travel with it.

Dude I haven't had any problems with it. I was able to play pretty much every game I bought in the past 4 years without any issues including cyberpunk, how to do a little tweaking the first time I played through the game but I got the settings nice and smoothed out, and it ran perfectly fine, I'll albeit not set on ultra, but like I said earlier I can't detect the damn difference.

I honestly just think whatever tweaks and stuff they've made to the game via patches or the expansion it's not near as efficient running as it used to be.

I don't know how demanding destiny 2 is on a system but I can run that on guns blazing, and it's ultra responsive. I got the only other game that I've really played in that same vein of cyberpunk is starfield and once they threw out a couple of patches to tweak their stupid engine bugs, that game was running beautifully, and it's newer than cyberpunk.

It's just weird. I just know there's been some talk of people playing it again, specifically I think @Tuco, I just wondered if there were any tweaks or things that I needed to maybe do or if anybody had encountered similar issues. It's just the damn FPS will run smooth as silk at like 70 or 80 and then suddenly it drops to 30 to 40, even if I'm inside a building at times.
the only thing you can do for a laptop, if youre even up for it is to replace the thermal paste w/ something better like mx6, you can try kryonaugt but thats like painting the mona lisa with peanut butter, and other than maxing out your ram, thats your laptop limitation then

the newer ones are really easy to redo, theyre essentially mini itx

Yeah that's what some of the other guys were telling me. Luckily I have one of those area 51 deals that's pretty easy to get into. I was watching a video about it earlier and I shouldn't be an issue whatsoever. Easier than taking apart a damn laser printer I'm driving plenty of years doing that back in school. I should have everything by tomorrow, and I think just pulling it apart and cleaning it is also going to make a big difference.

I ordered that Arctic 6, but then saw the grizzly pads and went ahead and picked up a couple of those as well. Might just save the paste for probably future desktop but I'll maybe build this year. I just been so hesitant on pulling the trigger on the components because stupid video cards are retarded expensive. Gone of the days where you can spend 250 or 300 bucks and get into at least the top tier.

That's what I'm planning on doing. Like I said I didn't even know they were a thing, but hey I'm willing to spend a little bit more to make it easier, and from doing a little bit more reading on them it sounds like pretty slick as far as heat BS.
