And thats only new paste? Because I had the factory add the IC Diamond paste and mine still hits 94C TSS1

Then more likely, the individual puts on too much, or isn't tightening down the heatsink. I used only a small amount, about half of a kernel of corn, in the center, then placed the heatsink straight down, slight twist in both directions, then screwed down in the order they are numbered on the heatsink. (That's important since it maximizes even pressure quickly.)

Wow because thats a huge difference and now im kinda mad I did not just do it myself.

She did pay quite a price for getting those temp's.... I'm only afraid of the keyboard. I once disassembled my old Nikon D70 to do a mod. Had so much trouble getting it to work again. Some of these cables are so fussy that they work only in a certain position. I had to redo it like 10 - 20 times before i got it working again.

Congratulations, chastity! You did a really good job on that. Sorry to break into your post coz I can't start a new post in this forum. I have a question, does people know what causes the PSOD in G73JH? I got a A2 version last month and I recieved PSOD a few days ago. Have to RMA it back I've been reading posts around here and there is a suspect that PSOD may be due to a mis-placed LCD. However, I am wondering the possble correlation between GSOD and PSOD. Do you think flash the vbios will help on solving PSOD problem? Thank you in advance.

BTW, I also wanna thank ziddy123 and hellcry for your dilligent work on trying to help all the G73 users. I learned a lot from you guys

Lowering the voltage could possibly help avoid the issue, tho I have no way of testing.

BTW: I wish I had purchased my machine from GenTech and gotten the ICD7 upgrade now.

I wouldn't standardize it. I bought mine from gentech and still reach high 90s.

PSOD always results in an LCD replacement as far as I know. I don't think PSOD is GPU related.

I think the temperature differences after repasting can also be explained by a more hot running version of the 5870m and how borked your heatsink is. It looks like the heatsink isn't the same for everyone.
