Which laptop model do you have?
What CPU and GPU?
What temps were you seeing when the laptop was new?
Why will uneven paste result in air bubbles? The clamping force of the heatsink module is enough to flatten thermal paste perfectly and drive out any air bubbles.
Either the heatsink module's vents are blocked, or the module wasn't installed correctly, or worse its a design flaw.
I was moving in line with your idea on logging. They cannot lift a finger as long as it is within TJmax, but they can act if it is thermal throttling.
He was already running games and nothing dramatic happened. In most laptops, the GPU and CPU is cooled by the same heatsink. CPU + GPU thermal output will far exceed what Prime95 pushing the CPU alone will do. The idea is to have consistent 100% CPU load using Prime, since he cannot get that while he is alt-tabbing from a game to to the desktop.
Also, there is a reason he is seeing exactly 99C MAX. Unless i'm wrong, thermal throttling has already been kicking in and keeping the temperature just under Tjmax.
