scottySK on [Afterpay] Logitech G305 Lightspeed Wireless Gaming Mouse Black $47.59 Delivered @ AusRiver eBay

Same, a little ball of foil and a AAA brings it down close to the G Pro wireless for a fraction of the price

That's excellent, new thermal paste can be a great way to get temps under control, sounds like yours is no longer throttling
