hello my laptop gets hot when its plugged in so i was wondering

It probably changes to high performance mode when you plug it in. Clear the fan and swap thermal paste. And no, removing the battery won't lower your temps, most you can do without opening it is downloading throttlestop and setting lower frequencies.

i did clean the fan somewhat and i tried to change the thermal paste but the screw was prestripped by shitty asus so i couldn't reach the thermal paste under the heatsink

Put a rubber band on the screw

Damn son. You can try superglueing a nut to the screw head, or if you have a dremel, cut a notch so you can fit a flathead screwdriver there

drill out the screw?

>>61593747
