PC slowed down after changing thermal paste.
Hi guys,
Basically I removed the old thermal paste from my CPU (had this computer awhile now and the old thermal paste seemed to have dried up) as my computer had been overheating lately I figured this was why. I replaced it with some newer thermal paste spreading it evenly and trying to ensure I didn't leave any air bubbles and it looked smooth.
But since doing this my computer is slowing at loading. Example, when playing LoL the loading screen pregame takes x8 longer for me to load than usual and my FPS fluctuates between 11-70.
I was wondering if anyone has had a similar problem?!
Should I remove the thermal paste and try again?
Thanks for taking time to read this.
