heat sink screws are too tight

[C̶r̶a̶z̶y̶ Mita]

ive got 60 degrees idle (gpu and cpu) so i decided to repaste my laptop again. i opened the case and tried to unscrew the screws but those 2 microscopic are tightened way too much.

i have got no way of repasting my gpu and cpu
any ways of unscrewing those 2 screws?

Try a better screw driver., wider grip, more torque, more perfect fit, less likely to strip the screw head.

60c is fine for a laptop

60c seems high for idle to me. Mine is idling with steam and youtube open at 40c, which isnt great but not terrible either. I guess it will depend a lot on the laptop, the cooling solution, and the fan curves set by the manufacturer though. My laptop is ASUS TUF FX505DY so it's really thick and very loud. IIRC I saw a video that some macintosh laptops don't even start to spin the fans until 80c.

I think knowing temperatures under load would be more indicative of a problem, if one exists.

i used to get 40 before i tried to repaste it but i got 95 when playing but now i get around 90 when playing

it also turns out that the heat sink isnt close enough to the gpu and cpu. maybe thats why i have 60-70 idle
