TrottleStop may help you undervolt (and lower temps) without loosing any performance. It really helped my 7700HQ. And of course I repasted my Lenovo Y720 with liquid metal years ago without issue.

In my case (Laptop with optimus GTX 1060), when I load MSI afterburner (might be same issue with other software like GPU-Z), the discrete GPU show signs of activity. Shutting down MSI Afterburber resolve the issue. Note that MSI Afterburner does not officially (and never will ) support laptop...
Bought on pre order many weeks ago. Played 1 hour. Not a real tactical shooter for me. Teammates wander around not knowing what to do ... No fun. Refund accepted!
Been using FreeNAS for years. Few issues really. Forum useful to help fix them. No show stopper. ZFS is a big plus with the right hardware. I also run jails with urbackup, minidlna, plex and qbittorent. Love it.

Fans, Pump, Thermal probe are connected to the Mobo connectors. Argus Monitor adjustd Fans & Pump to water temp. Awesome.
Costs will most likely stabilize instead for going down like they did lately. I just bought a Corsair MP510 1TB for a great price (Canadian...). I don't care for pci 4. Performs great. Samsung's are great but to costly for my taste.
