Pretty sure these gaming ROG laptops use liquid metal on CPU for cooling, and liquid metal is known to scoot to the side, and you get dry spots on CPU dye. You probably would have to remove the heatsink and redo the liquid metal to fix this, seems unlikely that it would be component failure of some sort

That’s good to know.
