I teared down my almost brand new Gmktec T1 because it suffered heat issues. When compiling #linux the cpu reached 100°C which isn't exactly great.

Some folks on this certain non-free forum-like platform confirm this and the reason seems to be poor application of the thermal paste.
So I decided to look for myself and well... Let's just say it couldn't have been much worse.

Cleaned up everything and applied some Arctic MX-7.

After re-assembly temperature max out at slightly above 70°C. Success
