I can assure you something went wrong in the process.

Not to discredit your efforts but I have tried it on 5 laptops so far and its been amazing and I have reports from 10s of users that I am 100% sure of.

PTM works wonders on bare die.



PCM has some weird reports right now, some report amazing temps and some much worse than PTM.
if you will run an AIO on your CPU I won't recommend it as it needs high temps to cure.
I also have to think that all laptop cooling solutions are not created equal. My work laptop has a single heat pipe cooling an 8850H and MX130 with a single blower fan. My personal laptop has 7 heat pipes and 3 fans for a 9750H and a 2080 mobile. I'll let you guess which one isn't pegged at the throttling temp any time it's doing anything, regardless of thermal interface. I'm sure laptop cooling comes in any number of variations between and beyond those two. Putting a better thermal interface on an overburdened cooler may not make any difference at all depending on system spec.
