my omen 15 laptop's cpu temperature reaches 90 C while idle could it be the thermal paste?

[Mido3omda]

so i have had this laptop for a year now it was working well until last june i noticed the temperatures of both gpu and cpu started spiking up to 90 C and 100 C respectively leading to thermal throttling so i just want to know if i should replace the thermal paste to fix this.

Hello @Mido3omda 

! Attention !

With constant overheating, the thermal paste for CPU, GPU and bridges

dries out and loses its function and must therefore be renewed !

If you do not change this condition, notebook/mainboard/components will suffer partial or total damage.

In your case: Service is required !
- The computer should be disassembled and checked.
- Thermal paste for CPU GPU and bridges must be renewed
- The function of the fan(s) must be checked

- Short circuit test ( if required )

- charger/battery test

- Components test

- General cleaning ...

--- HP warranty valid -> Contact HP Support

--- HP warranty expired:

If you can't do that, you should have it <serviced> by a professional notebook (chip level) repair store.

Good luck
