I guess it's been a few years that I've been gaming on this Alienware 17R4 and not so surprisingly the thermal paste and pads are not working as well as they did when new. I've ordered some paste and pads and fingers crossed they will fix the thermal throttling.
I'll also give the fans and cooling fins a good clean too while it's all apart.
Storm Shit-Bucket, or whatever this storm is called, has been rattling my roof tiles loose all night and caused a major power cut in the area that has thankfully now been fixed. It's still windy as fuck though so maybe the power will go off again at some point :/

As you may know the Netherlands will host it's first GP for many years, and of course it will be the first home GP for Max Verstappen. To celebrate the speed signs around the town of Zandvoort are being changed to 33, Verstappen's number in F1 XD
Apparently Valentino Rossi's (Moto GP Legend) home town also did this a while back making the town speed limit 46.
So we now have a right to repair electronics goods but that excludes electronics goods. Sadly with the current UK government this makes perfect sense :/
