Oh good, glad to hear it. Yeah, for a laptop with discrete GPU while gaming, 82c as an average temp is totally normal. If it starts frequently getting above 95c, it’s time for another repaste. You’re good to go homie. Don’t wast your money on a cooler pad, you won’t see any meaningful different in your thermals if your machine is already on a hard flat surface. The only way I could see them being worth any amount of money is if you actually use your laptop on your lap, or in bed, just to prevent any restriction of airflow.
