What you should know is that AS5 can be conductive. And it has a cure time of 200 hours.
After 200 hours, the temps will get better.
I have no idea if the GPU VRM's are conductive or anything. Originally I used AS5 too on the CPU / GPU, memory and VRM's
🙂And since AS5 creates a thin layer of silver at some point. I cleansed it all away, after a week and used
Arctic MX-4, no cure time and non-conductive
🙂 not gonna risk that slight chance of frying something.
I finally fixed my GPU ghetto hole too
🙂 made a hole big enough for the round grills, and simply super glued it in.
Looks much better except the excess glue. The CPU side turned out much better, no excess glue.
🙂Bonus...
I once had a MacBook Pro 2011. Which I Repasted, which I do religiously on every new system
😛There was so much thermal compound, that it was actually insulating the GPU from the immense heat that the CPU Load emits, 90c + is standard for a MacBook...
(CPU & GPU is very close and is on the same heatpipe) so my GPU temps got higher when doing CPU intensive tasks. And the overall GPU temps got somewhat better when playing games. 84c overclocked opposed to almost 90c. (AMD 6750m) after the repaste with AS5.
