🛠 How to change Thermal Paste on the G5 SE 5505 (AMD)

DISCLAIMER - Changing the thermal paste can be risky please do this on your own risk. I will not be held accountable for any damage caused from changing thermal paste.
Changing Thermal Paste not only grants better temps but better perf due to lower temps. I have seen an avg of 7-8C Drop of Temps.
Laptop Specs:
12GB CL22 3200MHZ DDR4 RAM
RX 5600M 6GB GDDR6
R5 4600H 3GHZ 6 CORES
KIOXIA 256GB SSD

I had Dell replace the KB and SSD on my 2 year old Dell G4 SE 5505 (16GB RAM, 4800H, 5600M) recently.
Now the temps are quite high, with the 5600M GPU running at >95C at times, CPU >90C, even when running a game which isn't supposed to be that taxing (World of Warships). FPS can drop to 20-30's.
IIRC the tech didn't repaste the thermal paste.
Should I complain to Dell about the high temps or repaste myself?
Still have a year of warranty left.

[@shuflie]

Was there a reason you didn't replace the first screw you undid?

[@dfbess]

Wtf? You left a lot of,crap on there..

[@derpyllama1857]

That's what I'm thinking

[@vorgarus7275]

did you change the factory thermal paste? because mine is new and using 12% of processor with fans speed at 60%, i get 62°C.....i think is too hot for only 12% usage

[@JoeMaranophotography]

Nope that sounds normal. Usually when idle clock speeds are high and when you are active and not just woken pc up from sleep those temps sound normal. Also fanspeed depends on your thermal profile in AWCC.

[@JC_BOY]

Hmm at idle you're at 60% fan speed? I can't even hear the fan on mine unless I game.

I wish that you have a guide on how to clean or fix the keyboard of G5 SE 5505, I`ll waiting for your video thank you

[@kunaikilla]

You had a problem with the keyboard?

[@KMP_Batang]

@@kunaikilla Yes, ever since i updated my Bios my keyboard does not respond, i tried to check via diag but it say that the keyboard is working properly

[@abdurrahmanzaheem6861]

Shouldn't we clean the VRAM and apply thermal paste for that

[@leamissyoy]

thank you, i kept it when i need to. My g5 5505 is a 2020 laptop amd ryzen 7 and i bought it in 2021, never touched it except for cleaning dust (the shop did it in 2021). It's warm with only youtube open (59°) and go up to +70 with a game, i could expect less after changing it.

[@RUHappyATM]

Mine is a 2022 model, runs HOT when ambient is 23C.
GPU can top >100C.
CPU tops out at just under 100C.
FPS drops to 20-30 on a game which is not really GPU intensive.
I'm wondering whether to call a service under warranty, again.
Dell had to replace my KB and HDD a few months ago.
Not sure whether the tech re-paste the heatsinks.

[@horribletm7630]

Good video but way!!! To much thermal paste it should be close to the size of a pencil eraser tip...

[@omegon3782]

Yo dude you came in clutch with this. (am hewetic)

[@thomasmoore6117]

horribly unclean laptop. if its kept that nasty there is obviously not much care around this machine. vents must be getting nasty often

[@jackietechlabs2081]

don't worry i clean my vents pretty often its in a desktop case i built now :) with two desktop heatsinks pressing on the original laptop heatsink :)

[@jasvinsan]

Thanks for it dude

[@shisui1369]

Did it actually make a difference on temps?

[@theancestor9345]

Idk about others, but for me, I immediately noticed a difference.
The shitty thermal paste that came with this laptop was smeared all over the motherboard.

[@BorgOvermind]

This is one of the most easy to open laptops I've ever opened up. And I opened up quite a few dozen different models.

[@jestificated]

Excess amount is mostly a myth.

[@ritikasahu5250]

Cover ur pc with thermal paste it will stay cool

[@benjaminmulder4828]

Its not a myth my guy. Excess paste actually ends of turning into a conduit and starts to have an opposite effect

[@jasonbarrett409]

What are the temperatures like?

I wish dell would let you adjust the fans on this laptop manually I picked up this new condition dell g5 5505 for 300$ witch was a great deal but I don’t see how my omen with ryzen 7 4800h an 1660ti has better temps then this dell

[@RichmondOseiBonsu]

the rx5600m pulls up to 150W where as the 1660ti pulls around 80W..i think

[@cnseref1328]

Didn't clean the little chips around cpu and gpu. Should not we be cleaning them? Because they seem pretty dirty

[@حسينصفاءعلاءكاظم]

They don't affect anything, but it looks cleaner if u do put some time into it. Don't be rough or you might pop some of those off!
