    Hi guys how are you?

    So, im about to repaste my good AW15R3, gtx 1070, with intel i7 6820HK, my paste just arrived today and im thinking in doing it on saturday.

    I bought Gelid Extreme - GC Extreme (only one i found here in BR), and i read some reviews saying it is equal TG Kryonaut. I choosed this, since i think it is the "safest" choice, according with the risks of LM.

    I pretend to follow those instructions (if some of the videos are WRONG, please point it hehe):

    1) http://forum.notebookreview.com/thr...5r3-disassembly-repaste-guide-results.797373/


    2) Video 1 (more complete) >




    3) Video 2 >



    As i read in a bunch of topics here, i see that people overclock to get the best performance possible.

    My questions are:

    1) after repasting, will i be able to overclock and get temps lower then 90? Or it will be too hot?

    2) How much should i overclock? 4ghz? 4.3?

    3) Will the notebook be faster? Because I noticed that it kind of slow to load all softwares after booting, it takes a time to go on. (already changed the FN+f7)

    4) Most important: how do i overclock? I looked up at youtube and saw that you have to change some values in BIOS and with intel XTU software. Can anyone help me here, with some instructions/video with values and stuff? Will i have to undervolt something (if so, how)?

    Thanks guys !
