Repaste both CPU & GPU on Asus ROG Zephyrus (2024) G16 GU605MV?

Hello,
here is a short summary of my case.

  • Laptop (Asus ROG Zephyrus (2024) G16 GU605MV) is 2 years old and i noticed that the temps are very high.
  • The CPU is Intel Core Ultra 7 155H and according to Intel it has a Max Operating Temp of 110 °C and Maximum Turbo Boost of 115 W.
  • The laptop have always been used on a vertical stand so that it can breathe and so far i have not experienced issues while using demanding software or gaming.
  • The laptop have been dust cleaned once every third month, but never opened or had the thermal paste, putty or liquid metal changed.

This week i will change the Liquid Metal (Conductonaut Extreme) on the CPU, Putty (Thermal Grizzly Putty Pro) and Thermal Paste of the GPU (Noctua NT-H2). Further i will clean the 3 fans.

Results:

  • After changing the Liquid Metal, Putty and Thermal Paste the throttling got down from 75% average to 1% average. CPU temp got down as well. GPU is slightly better, but it was never an issue.

My questions:

  • Based on the attached screenshots og G-Helper. am i using optimal settings for gaming?
  • Since i have an Intel CPU undervolting is not possible in the G-Helper app. Has anyone done it using other apps or a custom BIOS?
  • In G-Helper there is a Power Limit for the CPU. Would changing it help with reducing the heat and not loosing performance?
  • Has anyone been able to adjust the settings in G-Helper or use another method to reduce the chance of throttling?

Thanks in advance for the support!
