@@DawidDoesTechStuff Wonder if you could get wide zip ties, melt holes through them with a soldering iron & just have some like spongy material too sort of act as mounting material in the middle of the heatpipes above the heat plate & screwing the zip ties down once they are tight enough into the stock cooler mounting, might flex a bit & move around on you but if done right should have higher mounting pressure.
DIY Perks had a very old video of applying big heavy coolers onto a laptop Motherboard. He might have some good techniques on getting good mounting pressure for doing this
The reason performance went down when you over clocked is because the laptop VRMS can’t keep up with the higher clocks. I had a similar thing with an old Core 2 Quad machine. It would perform better at 3ghz than at 3.2ghz.
I suggest attaching the AIO to the heat pipes so that mounting pressure remains adequate and heat is transferred away in a more efficient manner. The proper way would be a copper plate covering the two dies, using the original mounting holes with an AIO attached on top.
The IHS on desktops is different from laptops. You can't just put a drop of thermal paste in the middle and hope the mounting pressure spreads it evenly like on a desktop. With laptops, you take some good branded thermal paste and evenly spread a thin layer across the entire IHS. You'd still run hot, but most likely in the 70-85 without thermal throttling at load depending on the laptop. Trial and error guided me through this, I tried the dot method, and it was thermal throttling, evenly spread the layer and you get much better temps at load without throttling, cheers. Also make sure you're at the latest bios. If this is not enough, you may be able to undervolt like -.050v and in some cases, if you raise the laptop, the intake fans from the bottom can easily take in more cool air.
@@thebestever333 You need the right thermal pads with the correct specification to cool down a specific amount of heat per area enough to dissipate from your CPU. In my experience, off the shelf generic thermal pads don't cool as well as generic thermal paste.
I tried to put the laptop underwater as cooling solution, it’s awesome the temperature are so low that the laptop shut down itself to prevent damage!!! It’s insane
I tried this with my high end laptop that my dad bought yesterday with his last money. The laptop got so cold even my dad passed out because he never saw that cold CPU before in laptop. What a great advice thanks man
This can open a discussion though. Laptops usually come much cheaper than a desktop. Maybe we can start a modding craze on which we buy laptops that do have good parts and put actually good cooling on them to get desktop performance.

I love your jank/ghetto mods, it gives me so much inspiration to rip into old oem pcs and just combine random shit together and make custom heat sinks and try to get as low of temps as possible in dell proprietary cases
I feel like there's a way somewhere to mod this into something practical. I think you can use pipes and the pipes goes to the giant fan towers. Also adding more fans to the towers. And making a 3d printed enclosure. But in practice maybe a external gpu could be a better alternative. I know that it's a joke but it has potential.
i hope in the future they consider this and leave an opening/hatch on the floor of the laptop where you then can clamp on some cooling block/baseplate to extend the heatpipe
Those laptop temps were pretty decent to begin with, if you want a more stable thermal experience and better frequency stability you should’ve just undervolted but this works too
Or you could order a "new" backplate for the laptop, drill holes in it facing the heat pipes, put the laptop "normally" on a stand with feet long enough to fit the cooler upside down and let the cooler cool the heat pipes ? Plus if you use a thermal pad on the cooler you can always create a custom door on the modded backplate to keep portability while maintaining good enough contact.
I had a gaming laptop that ran really hot. I put it up on 4 dixey cups giving it come clearance off the table and it lowered the temperature by a huge amount.
I have a laptop with these problems of overheating, I grabbed the cooler of a graphics card and I'm in the process of installing it, I'm already adapting it, seeing this video encourages me much more! thanks for such a good video, a good MOD!
Good stuff! Makes you wonder why no one sells huge alternative bases for various laptop models. Many people use their laptop as a desktop replacement with a screen, mouse and keyboard after they are done studying and don't need to be mobile anymore. I am typing this on a Macbook Pro Early 2011 that I got for free a week ago. The thing runs great, but the fan ramps up for literally anything. Would be kind of cool to make it into a phatmac with a huge base, and way lower temperatures.
As someone who is currently endeavoring to piece together a banger 720p/1080p rig from 6 years ago, I salute your efforts here. It all started for me when I pulled a perfectly fine AMD A10 7800 APU out of an old Lenovo desktop a few weeks ago. Then I found a new, still sealed in the bag Asus A88X Pro board for $50. And then just yesterday I stumbled upon the best , most incredible deal for completely obsolete machinery ever and obtained two (count em TWO) used but pristinely kept GTX 980 Kingpin cards with ALL of the OG packaging and accessories and an SLI bridge for $300. I'm still in awe of this deal. Now I'm at the point where I feel like the spirit of this machine is trying so hard to manifest into the real world that it would simply be cruel of me not to facilitate it the rest of the way. Also, considering what I've already got going into this thing, it's going to end up being an actual monster. Now I just need to find one of those old Corsair or Thermaltake cases that look like a space shuttle from the 1980s and I'll be in business.
9:24 this is absolutely the most useful video I've ever seen. I'm going to buy a laptop right now and 2 tower coolers to do this, to replace my 3700x/2080ti gaming pc.
Owning a laptop is like living in a perpetual state of fear. Fear of dust and the high temperature slowly killing the already throttling out of the box 'feature' of a laptop. This video was inevitable.
I actually did on my samsung Rv509 (It's my folding at home pc) but I used a Socket 478 stock cooler and I mounted it permanently by actually drilling holes on the Cooler so that I am able to mount the cooler from the back of the motherboard using screws. And after that my load temps dropped from 97°c to 42c
Before the intro: This is the mobile Ryzen APU on steroids, isn't it? 3 minute mark: CALLED IT! Dawid's officially graduated from mad scientist school & it's beautiful to see XD
I wonder if you could just put the laptop in a mini case so you won't destroy the whole thing when bumping it. But I feel like that would ruin temperatures.
Bro, I love how at 5:07 he attaches the external psu, and is like “that probably going to impact portability” after he just installed 2 air coolers to a laptop
My old gaming laptop has long cease it's function as a Laptop; no more monitor, weaken battery life and continuous charging, so I might give this idea a try and turn it into a Frankenstein-ish home pc for casual gaming.
My laptop runs extremely hot even when just running chrome with 32gb of ram. Is there anyway this can be fixed without spending any money or changing clock speeds
Get an air blower and blow out the vents. I just started using a laptop last month as my PCs are all down. After a month of use it became very slow, it's new, no malware, so I blew it out with my trusty datavac that I use for the PC's and it sped back up. I researched a little and found this is a common issue that gets overlooked, good luck!
Don't close air intake holes, open even more holes for air to come in, clean cooler, repaste cpu, change thermal pads if there are any, buy a custom cooling solution for your laptop if there is any, or just ask Dawid more directly lol
First, nice to see you disconnect the power on the laptop. Second, this video was some of the most ridiculous tech content I have ever watched and I loved it!
I do not find these solutions useless... why are they useless... I have a large gaming desk, low budget lenovo gaming 5 ( 3050 gpu / i7 / 32ram ) I noticed that it was thermal throtling and i couldn't push it further due to cooling so I did the exact same thing. The laptop is secured to the desk with doubleface tape, and I managed to secure the rest with 3d printed blocks and I did place actual weight on the coolers... later on I bought a better adapter for higher wat delivery and I also printed a custom case to cover the whole thing, I sadly can't secure the coolers with screws on the mobo cus thats impossible but I did 3d print blocks which i secured to the chasse and mounted the coolers on them ( and it is a tight tight fit ), evantually i did not need the weight and everything fits perfectly. Managed to tune the gpu and cpu and my temps are always below 50... yes it is performing as if it is a desktop build ( slightly better since the gpu is tuned further ).
Another cookie but excellent video Dawid. Regarding the close to other components problem , use some helicopter tape over them to prevent shorting and Im thinking you could use some copper coins or plate possibly cut to shape between the chip and the cooler to give you clearances.
it is not pointless, he has managed to show the extreme solution for cooling a laptop, also if you happen to have a lap that you´d like to convert to desktop, then this is the way. Insane, but amazing
on my laptop I use 4 small square fans to blow air into the vents on top of the laptop. I used to also have a vacuum port device that would suck the hot air out. If I used all that while gaming the laptop would stay around 32C to 55C when everything was running at max for a long time. Without it the lap top would consistently be at 98C to 100C+
I just bought a small fan that blows wind into my laptop for 10 bucks. Lowered my temp from "enough to cook a chicken" down to around 50 degrees while running coolmathgames
I think it's best to mod a fan brackets for the cooling fans so that you can place your laptop in its top position (of course, placing it on a holed table). 😁😀✌🏼
My laptop turns off while gaming and gets really hot. One of the things that helped it for me was setting the 'Max Processor State' to 80% in the Power Plan settings. Now my laptop doesn't get too hot and doesn't shut down while gaming. performance isn't that bad compared to 100%.
Modded the hell out of starfield making it into the ultimate star wars rpg. Now my laptop just shuts down mid game about two times within 30 minutes of booting the bastard up. After that there won't be issues but it still gets extremely hot.
Slightly more practical might be to make a thicc laptop by taking one of those laptop coolers removing the top of it, removing the bottom of the laptop and sticking some heatsinks that are just thin enough to fit in the laptop cooler chasis on top of the heat pipes (keeping the original cooling working), and then directing the laptop cooler fan through the new heatsinks. Attach them together in a semi-permanent way and it's still be at least somewhat portable that way.
Hey Dawid. We have Winter in Canada. Not sure what part of the country you're in, but once sub-zero temps set in, you should revisit this, outdoors. :)
I suspect some component of the power delivery is getting too hot to really allow for much overclocking headroom. Adding some small aluminum or copper heatsinks with thermal tape might help out. I mean, if you're gonna go as far as slapping two tower coolers on a laptop from 2014, might as well go full overkill and cool everything as well as you can.
That is a very good idea. It would have looked awesome. I checked the motherboard temps and they were okay so I'm not sure it would have made a big difference. It would have been worth the try though.
@@DawidDoesTechStuff That's fair. I just wasn't sure what all motherboard components you had sensor access to since some laptops are more locked down than others. Then again, it could just come down to the silicon on the board. It might just be that the parts selected for that particular laptop are just power restricted and can't push past a certain performance level. Kinda like the Acer Nitro 5 Gaming with its i7-9750H. It religiously sticks to the 45w power limit and throttles down hard when its hit with a heavy all core load despite having thermal headroom to boost higher.
"That runs hotter than the surface of mercury" *Shows alienware* Thats so hilarious, I remember when I was 14 in 2007ish my parents got me an alienware for christmas and I thought I was the coolest person on the planet, but it literally ran hotter than the surface of mercury and thermal throttled like a b*&%h while playing ANY sort of game. Good times.
I had a laptop of theirs for "gaming" in 2008 or 9. That thing was uncomfortably hot for anything requiring GPU performance. It was a crotch cooker. Which is why I played it on a desk, and not, actually on my lap lol. It sure looked dope, and was RGB.

My wife has the bottom fans laptop stand thingy plus a small fan behind the laptop. She does puzzles lol.
Which fan did you buy?
imagine having one of these and then a earthquake shows at the party to ruin it
I think it's best to mod a fan brackets for the cooling fans so that you can place your laptop in its top position (of course, placing it on a holed table). 😁😀✌🏼
Probably power limited. Very cool video, maybe try to 3D print some kind of brackets to hold the coolers.
"Son, are you cleaning your laptop, or trying to make a Mustang?"
My laptop turns off while gaming and gets really hot.
One of the things that helped it for me was setting the 'Max Processor State' to 80% in the Power Plan settings.
Now my laptop doesn't get too hot and doesn't shut down while gaming.
performance isn't that bad compared to 100%.
I did the same thing to my Nitro. Brought Temps down to 60C when I game
taking your time and applying liquid metal on both gpu & cpu works magic you can feel that extra heat being expelled plus it's still a laptop .
When I decided to add a graphics card to my laptop is when I learnt this one trick.
Love your content Dawid
Some breath of fresh air on tech tips! Thanks Dawid! :D
Love the crazy scientist videos!
YES I WAITED FOR THIS IN OVER A DAY
Modded the hell out of starfield making it into the ultimate star wars rpg.
Now my laptop just shuts down mid game about two times within 30 minutes of booting the bastard up. After that there won't be issues but it still gets extremely hot.
Me watching this on my laptop.
My laptop : (sweats) -_-
not "Ideal" but the "Best"? Yes, Hands down its a winner.
I love your "useful" videos. Keep them coming!
Don't buy a gaming laptop is the simple solution.
If you must have portability, build a gaming PC and remote in with Parsec from a very cheap laptop.
Slightly more practical might be to make a thicc laptop by taking one of those laptop coolers removing the top of it, removing the bottom of the laptop and sticking some heatsinks that are just thin enough to fit in the laptop cooler chasis on top of the heat pipes (keeping the original cooling working), and then directing the laptop cooler fan through the new heatsinks. Attach them together in a semi-permanent way and it's still be at least somewhat portable that way.
Between David and Jeff Geerling, I can lmao and still learn fresh stuff. Kudos!
OMG
I have been searching for this video everywhere
Subbing you
The moment you said you got those temps on a laptop, I knew what you were going to do! :)
İ watched the older video yesterday about the Vivo book and i think I'm having a deja vu
Haha!! Yeah, very similar videos, but this one had a CPU and a GPU in the laptop. 😁
@@DawidDoesTechStuff yeah ! The vega 3 GPU doesn't run as hot as this
Hey Dawid. We have Winter in Canada. Not sure what part of the country you're in, but once sub-zero temps set in, you should revisit this, outdoors. :)
This was very silly... I loved it.
I suspect some component of the power delivery is getting too hot to really allow for much overclocking headroom. Adding some small aluminum or copper heatsinks with thermal tape might help out.
I mean, if you're gonna go as far as slapping two tower coolers on a laptop from 2014, might as well go full overkill and cool everything as well as you can.
That is a very good idea. It would have looked awesome. I checked the motherboard temps and they were okay so I'm not sure it would have made a big difference. It would have been worth the try though.
@@DawidDoesTechStuff That's fair. I just wasn't sure what all motherboard components you had sensor access to since some laptops are more locked down than others. Then again, it could just come down to the silicon on the board. It might just be that the parts selected for that particular laptop are just power restricted and can't push past a certain performance level. Kinda like the Acer Nitro 5 Gaming with its i7-9750H. It religiously sticks to the 45w power limit and throttles down hard when its hit with a heavy all core load despite having thermal headroom to boost higher.
"That runs hotter than the surface of mercury"
*Shows alienware*
Thats so hilarious, I remember when I was 14 in 2007ish my parents got me an alienware for christmas and I thought I was the coolest person on the planet, but it literally ran hotter than the surface of mercury and thermal throttled like a b*&%h while playing ANY sort of game. Good times.
I had a laptop of theirs for "gaming" in 2008 or 9. That thing was uncomfortably hot for anything requiring GPU performance. It was a crotch cooker. Which is why I played it on a desk, and not, actually on my lap lol. It sure looked dope, and was RGB.
