I can't believe the level of disassembly you have to go through just to do thermal paste
Just wanted to say THANK YOU! I repasted my machine tonight and it has got the temps waaaaay down!
Thx for the good Video got a used one in really good condotion recently still runs great
Can you do the same video for the 2020 M15 R3 model ? I am trying to re-paste the CPU but I think the board is flipped ?
Thanks for your video.
which screwdriver to use to remove heatsink screws. my current one doesnt have a tip that works.
thanks , useful video
What do you all think about the new thermal paste artic mx-5?
Should i use it?
I redid my thermal paste and I use undervolting and underclocking via throttlestop... still have throttling when I try to play intensive games... I now need a watercooling solution. Thought about rigging 2 aios one for gpu and one for cpu but I don't know about cooling all the other chips around that. If I were to cut open those heatpipes on the heatsink what's inside of them? I was thinking maybe I could repurpose the heatsink and run tubing to connect them in a series so the entire heatsink could be one big waterblock then I connect that to a radiator and pump.
I notice that nobody shows how to fix that stupid wireless lan cable. Also is there a screw diagram where each screw goes? I ended up noticing that ive apparently put some of the larger black screws in the wrong areas.
Good Video Buddy, i plan on repasting my GPU and CPU too, i have the 7700HQ processor and its constantly at high temperatures.
Because of that i believe that my battery has lost all its capacity and now can barely stay out when unplugged. So im waiting a little bit so i can save some money to buy a new battery, additional 16gb of ram, a new ssd and some thermal paste to do it all at once.
alienware soldered there ram on most models
@@nee7720 not on this one, i saw you can upgrade it or exchange it
@@jpsf3718 Oh nice
Exact same, 7700HQ. I just got some ram and am thinking to repaste when I put it in - hadn't considered the heat is why the battery is worthless 😕
Great Video!!!1 I'm adding IC Graphite Thermal Pads on both the GPU and CPU im running a GTX 1070 8GB and an I7 8 Core CPU Currently I do not have Issues with. but when I run my 15 R3 with the Alienware Amplifier and a RTX3070 Aours I can tell the CPU will Thermo throttle Game Performance.
i got to the point of wifi card and lighting but i dindt dare to unplug them. id rly like to see how much temp can go down. rdr2 brings me to 100 degrees and perma throttling. such a shame actually considering this laptop doesnt come close running its advertised clock speed. an help near hannover xD?
Great video! Thanks a lot 😃
I have the same laptop and I want to repaste it. So do you recommend a certain thermal paste brand?
Also do you recommend buying a laptop blower cooling pad like this one? (For gaming)
I use MX-4. It's cheap and reliable. For the cooling pad.. I would say it's personal preference. I don't really like them, but if you use your laptop on your lap then you might wanna invest in one.
Great! thank you for your help man.
I forgot to link the laptop BLOWER cooling pad, here it is: www.amazon.com/dp/B07WVK2ZZ9/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabt1_TSYQFbBB9W0SF
Have you ever tried something like this? I want to ask if you think this type of cooler can help lower CPU/GPU temperatures?
I never used it so I can't say it for sure. It supposed to lower the temperature so I assume it is useful. It's really useful if you use your laptop on carpet or in bed for some reason.
@@TechGadgetsMedia Aha I see! Good.. Thanks again and keep up the great videos 🙂👍
I got the same computer as the rest of us here and bought a stand for 20 bucks on amazon and lowered my temps by 10 degrees easy.
Are all the screws same type of screw bit? What is the screw bit size are you using. Thank you
Those are all Philips head screws.
I use an Alienware 15 R4 for gaming and I notice the cpu temp gets really hot. I am planning on replacing the thermal paste, but I am having trouble finding a tutorial featuring the R4. I wanted to ask if the disassembly of the R3 is similar to or the same as the R4 disassembly.
Hi Merrit, I have return my m15 R2 because it was being hot and the memory was soldered in the motherboard. Could you confirm the memory has slots in the motherboard in R4, please?
@@BrennoLeal I assume you are interested in buying the M15 R4, not 15 R4, which is what I have. I can tell you the 15 R4 does have user-upgradeable memory; but after some research, I believe the Alienware M15 R4, does, in fact, have soldered memory.
@@CannedNoodles you are right! They are soldered :(
When you’re talking abt temperatures, do you mean stress test temperatures or gaming temperatures? Also, if it is a stress test, is it a CPU and GPU combined load or only CPU load. What are the GPU temperatures ? Would *love* it if you can give me all this info. Thanks
I meant using the laptop for a long period while gaming or editing videos for example.. that's why I decided to repaste the CPU.. it used to go up to and sometimes over 90 degrees.. but now they are around 70-80 max.
@@TechGadgetsMedia K thanks! Is the GPU around 70-80 too ? My CPU hits 95 and GPU 84 during CS:GO and I lose a lot frames. Wat's ur avg fps in CS at 1080p high. It'll help me a lot !
@@jivewig after thermal pasting, i hit 70 cpu on cs go, 1080 high
That process is a desktop processor? And what generation can you upgrade two with that Mother board?
It's not, you cannot upgrade it in this laptop.
What could be the reason? even repasting my temps goes to 80-90C on IDLE in very cold winters.
Fans are very loud all the time
Did you have similar temps before repasting?
Is there a way to replace the cpu on this very same laptop? I heard it's welded into the board.
It's not replaceable unless you swap the motherboard as well. And I don't think that's cheap
Ayo I need to fix my laptop. It’s an Alienware 15 r3 and it’s like three years old, when I try to play overwatch now the gpu gets to 91 degrees and my cpu gets to like 100. (Celsius) when it hits that temperature it starts to have random framerate drops and makes it too hard to play. I’ve undervolted it, I’ve Turned off turbo boost, and nothing. I don’t have an intact warranty on it I don’t think, will a repaste work? Thanks.
It worked for me.
Honestly I think part of it is overwatch because I used to play it on an alienware 15 r3 also and the same would happen to me but all the other games have run smoothly
A little late but please consider cleaning your laptop from dust. My GPU temps used to reach 91° Celsius and after cleaning with a small brush and a normal vacuum just sucking as much dust as i can my temps started dropping to 70 - 75 at max.
Hi, after I repast and put everything together, I got 2 red 7 blue light 🚨 this indicates Display Failure , from the laptop
What went went wrong?
Did you check if you plugged everything back properly?
I just got an m15 r4 with an rtx 3070.
would you recommend repasting? Ive never done it before Im not trying to void a warranty
Are you facing thermal issues?
@@TechGadgetsMedia I dont think so. I play stuff like BeamNG, kingdom come, mordhau, rdr2. Nothing competitive.
I saw a video showing my models disassembly and the whole internals need to come out to access the paste necause its on the other side of the board. I dont think I have the skill to do it myself. my 2016 model never got repaated and still works to this day
Well there are some program which can monitor your temperature. Also if it doesn't feel uncomfortable to the touch and you can still use it then you don't need to repaste.
@@TechGadgetsMedia yea the alien fx controller thing has trmps I was getting like 60 degrees casually playinf bur the fans went loud, and Im using a cooler mat thing eith fans too
@@rajgill7576 that temp is really good and as usual a gaming laptop is always loud. I wouldn't worry if i were you.
Out of curiosity where is the house located? I would like to place a cooling vacuum closes to it.
I'm not sure what do you mean by house
@@TechGadgetsMedia sorry, that must have been a typo and autocorrect issue on my part. I meant to ask, where is the GPU located?
The GPU is located in kind of the middle. You can see both the processors when I take the heatsink off in the video.
My battery cable won’t detach how did you do it?
Give it a wiggle
Hey Buddy, i have this model and never clean or repested. Playing some games, the temps going at 90 C°. Max 98C°. But in normal day still on 40°C. Still cool?
That is quite high temp.. it is up to you but if I were you I would repaste the CPU and GPU.. there's nothing to loose.. and your number should reach a lover level.. also you might need to clean your laptop from dust.
@@TechGadgetsMedia Thaks You. I now put my processor at 98%. the maximum temperature reaches 70 ° C. I don't lose performance, so I'll use it until I clean and change the paste.
@@eubrunao8271 How did you put your cpu at 98% ? I tried all possible solutions to undervolt but the latest bios update locked all undervolting options and also locked rolling back the bios. I have an Alienware A15 R3
@@fareshesham8135 man, is to enter power options, then change plan settings, then change settings achieved, processor power management, maximum performance state. put what you think is best.
@@eubrunao8271 I will give it a shot thx. Also do you have the same model as mine ? If not please tell me what model you have iam trying to see what works with what.
Please note: Dont tighten the cpu/gpu cooler screws with an electric screwdriver, the screws are very soft and will shear off if tightened to far..which usually happens with an electric screwdriver
Also where is the cmos battery on that board?
You can see at 04:50 next to the cooler fan, wrapped in black tape.
Hey bro I’m scared to repaste because the motherboard is flipped is it safe?
What do you mean by flipped?
@@TechGadgetsMedia you have to remove the motherboard etc and other components to access the heatsink
@@hurricane5952 do you have the exact same model as I do here in this video?
@@TechGadgetsMedia i have the 300hz m15 r3 2070 super 10750h on bestbuy
Well I suggest to follow a video where an M15 is being taken apart. Just to make sure.
70 Degrees.....Mine is always at 99...and sometimes shutdown while gaming.
Wifi card is finicky to unplug *doesn't show or tell how its done* rip..
Is it possible to upgrade the CPU?
No, it is soldered to the motherboard
@@TechGadgetsMedia thx , so the onlyone you can do it now is the M51.
Is this the GTX 1070 Variant?
Yes
@@TechGadgetsMedia Ty, And were the cooling fans taped to the heatsink?
I saw few of the models were...
Would like to know if "Kapton tape" can be used. 🙂
No, as you can see in the video the cooler fans are separated. They all connect to the heatsink with screws.
I get it, thanks for helping out with my query 🤜🏼🤛🏼
