Here is a Pick of the perofrmance now in Overwatch. You can see that the cpu hs way higher tdp and higeher clock and the temps are also lower. Even without undervolting. So yeah the Thermals have been solved.2021-05-10.png

So here is a Pick of the Performance Clocks and Tmeps and also the Watts in the Cpu after Hps repairs I would say it worked very well. Still the second fan is slower but the cooling performace doesnt suck anymore. I git told that the second fan (the right one) is controlled by the Gpu Bios or the Gpu drivers. Just if anyone is interested and could pull some use out of this information.2021-05-10.png

Ok Under a long load and high cpu usage (Way over 50 percent ) and a 100  percent Gpu usage the Cpu can still take about 35 watts with no Problem (In for example Batlefield 5). just for People wondering what the Hp Repair improved about the thermals

You should have as little as possible thermal paste, so long as it can form an even layer of contact with the heatsink. Other answers have mentioned what would happen if you put paste where you don’t want paste, so I’ll only discuss the thermal problem.

The biggest thing is that thermal paste isn’t actually that thermally conductive. Thermal paste, for example, is about as thermally conductive as Marmite and toothpaste, and is much less conductive than water You wouldn’t use those as thermal paste, though, since they’d corrode your components.

So if thermal paste is such a bad thermal conductor, why use thermal paste? It’s because thermal paste is a much better thermal conductor than air. Because the surfaces of the heatsink and CPU aren’t perfectly flat, the air is what is conducting the heat (which it is quite bad at).
