Too hot - Dell XPS 7590 keeps hitting 90°C - 100°C under average(?) load after thermal repaste. Is this expected?
Hello everyone 🤗.
The title says it all.
Specs:
Refurbished Dell XPS 7590 was purchased back in Jan 2020.

What I have done:
Replaced thermal paste Artic MX-6 on March 2023 (2 months ago) - Paste was purchased on Feb 14 of 2023 (This year
Can you drop the IccMax? depending on what kind of lower power target you are trying to achieve. For example, try something around 115 Amps. That's a 10% drop. Or may be 109Amps for a 15% drop. That will lower the clocks on the CPU somewhat and should decrease temps by a lot. Generally Amps vs Power is quite linear (like 90% linear).
You will need to find your own balance between the right amount of under-volting and the right amount of under-amping to see whatever meets your performance ta
