Hello all,

 

I have the 4k OLED version and the computer isn't as fast as it used to be and the fans are always on and loud when the charger is connected. 

It is overheating and the fans run without the charger too. My warranty is over so I opened it and cleaned some dust.

 

The battery life felt to 72% and later recovered to 80%. However, I ordered a replacement battery from a 3rd party website. I also ordered some thermal paste. However, the screws are different for the heat sink / cpu. Any advice? I can return the new battery and the ARCTIC MX-4 thermal paste

 

Please let me know
