About Murtagh00

Hi @Murtagh00 , welcome to the community   To begin with, I can't provide any information about the warranty because of no affiliation with Medion (I'm just a regular customer). Since you already open the case you can check how much access do you have to the radiator's heat sink and to the fan in order to so some cleaning because I believe that is what made a slight temperature increase. For cleaning as air compressed spray would do as long as you can prevent the fan to spin when blowing air. About the thermal paste/pads the 7 months use does not justify the replacement unless you have some "easy to read" signs like starting stuttering in apps which where not doing that before (including windows post loading when you the mouse is "jumping" instead of smooth movement) and increased the overall temperature with occasional trigger of overheat protection. From my experience a thermal paste should hold at least 18 months while a thermal pads will do for much much longer. Related to your case, make sure you get rid of windows ballast (temp files, old updates, old windows versions) and a radiator and/or fan cleaning would do the trick. Regarding the pads thickness and warranty info let's wait for technical information.   Cheers ... View more
