The keyboard looks nice and works just fine.








There have been many report of the new GE60 having high temps, and I found this to be true. After doing initial benchmarks to see where the idle and load temps were with the stock thermal compound on the CPU and GPU, I went ahead and did a repaste using IC Diamond.




I discovered that the factory had used too much paste.


I also discovered this mishap. The thermal pads that cool the GPU VRMs still had their plastic tape on!


Cleaned off the CPU

Added the IC Diamond to the CPU and GPU

This tape wasn't removed prior to installation at the factory. Tsk Tsk.
Added some copper ramsinks where I could and reassembled the laptop.

Results are quite good
