    Did you remove the CPU from the base? Try again, only wash the processor with alcohol from monopolka, release the processor from the socket, you don't have to remove it, but move it and tighten the screw, apply the paste to the cores, do not spread it, apply it carefully, cooling after adding, gently move side to side (by a millimeter) tighten the screws in sequence according to the numbers.
    Assemble the laptop and test. If nothing changes, invest in a "new" processor - it's not a huge cost.

    buy it. You can get this processor for PLN 15 - 20 with shipping.

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around a Samsung R540 laptop with an Intel i3 380M processor that experiences rapid temperature increases after a thermal paste replacement. Initially, the laptop maintained acceptable temperatures, but post-replacement, idle temperatures are stable while load temperatures spike dramatically, reaching up to 90 degrees Celsius. Users suggest potential causes such as excessive thermal paste application, improper cooler installation, or issues with the cooling system, including gaps between components. Recommendations include checking the cooling system's integrity, ensuring proper thermal paste application, and considering the possibility of a damaged temperature sensor. The user has cleaned the components but continues to experience erratic temperature behavior.
