I have a Neo 15 M22 that's about 4 years olde now.

For a while now, I've noticed the fans ramping up more than previously and the laptop running a bit slower.
I also don't know if it is my immagination but I have a feeling the air comming out of the laptop used to be colder.
After running some tests, the CPU hits 95° on a couple cores and only 75° on other cores while only pulling around 50 watts.

Does anyone know if this might be old thermal paste or something else entirely. I'd also like to know if anyone has attempted to renew the thermal paste and how easy it would be for someone who has built desktops before but never really touched laptops.

My cinebench r23 score is 12048 on full tilt overboost enabled and oasis running.

I drive a Ford Focus with tyre size 205/60/16 tyre size.
I'd like to replace the continental ts830p that came with the car since those are actively dangerous in the snow. Don't buy those, ever, they are absolutely terrible!
I already have some Goodyear Ultragrip Performance 3's on the back axle but those are also pretty worn already down to 6mm and will probably only serve one more season.
I drive about 40.000 km every year so about 20.000 in the winter, so usually I put a tyre on the back axle first year, front axle second year and then I replace the tyre.
Now I've heard some rumours about Michelin tyres lasting so much longer than other brands and I wonder if I'd actually get another season out of them compared to the Goodyears.
The Goodyears are 95€ and the Michelins 109€ so if they'd last me one year extra that'd make them worth it IMO.

Does anyone have any experience with the Alpin 7 and how it compares in performance and longevity?
any help is greatly appreciated!
