![]() ![]() I then reapplied a small bit of new thermal paste on each processor and chip and replaced the heat sink. ![]() Using paper towels I cleaned off the paste from the heat sink and motherboard and wiped clean the paste from around the processors as well as the paste from the top of three other smaller chips (which had not slumped off the chips) that are also served by the same heat sink. It turned out that the thermal paste between the heat sink and both the cpu and the graphics processor had creeped off and puddled around the processors on the motherboard. There was no dust at all and no other fan obstruction and the fan was spinning freely. I finally decided to check under the hood. Interestingly, the temperature monitors in the ASUS Gaming Center app reported zero degrees for the CPU and some crazy high thousands of degrees for the graphics processor even while the fans were running. ![]() Monitoring software always showed that the cpu and graphics processor were running nominally cool except right after startup, so they got hot enough to trigger the fans but cooled right down and stayed cool as long as the fans were running. Within a minute of turning on the machine and without any apps open at all the fan would rev to high and stay there. I went so far as to reinstall Windows 10 along with all the drivers and this did not fix the problem. I had this same problem with my own GL753ve. ![]()
