Just want to say thank you! I just spent my evening following your tutorial repasting & removing the dust from my laptop that hasn't been cleaned since it was new in 2018. Before I was getting average 60 degree Celsius at Idle, but now getting 37 degree Celsius at idle. Whew! It still has some more life in it.
It's my pleasure my friend. 😊 Thank you for taking the time to give feedback! If you would like to support the channel, please like, subscribe, or both. :P wow i'm glad that you did the service, that poor laptop can rest a bit now jajaja Should you have any questions or requests in the future, please don't hesitate to ask me. 🍻cheers

I almost lost hope with my G7 laptop because the temperature was always high. But I decided to give it a try. I repasted and cleaned it up by following your guide and the CPU temp went down significantly. Thank you very much.

so did you factory reset the bios to re unlock undervolting? what kind of temps are you getting now and what kind of noise does the machine make while pinning the processor?
These BIOS settings do not offer options for undervolting or managing voltage; you can only enable or disable the CPU boost feature in the BIOS. This process involves repasting and servicing, rather than conducting benchmarks to compare performance before and after. Servicing a laptop, which includes replacing thermal paste and cleaning the heatsink, is recommended once a year or every two years, depending on how frequently the laptop is used. It's analogous to the routine maintenance required for a car, such as oil changes. If you're experiencing loud fan noise, it may be due to a clogged heatsink or the thermal paste being dry or past its prime. For optimal temperature management, I recommend using Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut, which can help achieve the best possible temperatures. Should you have any further questions or requests in the future, please don't hesitate to reach out to me. Cheers! 🍻
you go into the bios and reset the bios to factory defaults, regardless if you have updated bios. After doing this you can use third party software like throttlestop within windows to undervolt again. I own this very laptop and have personally disassembled and repasted it. I pin the processor at 3.8Ghz while gaming and achieve a steady 120fps in Apex Legends in full detail on maximum settings for 6 gigabytes of V-ram. Temps never go higher than 90c you're welcome. @@uFixTek
I apologise if i seem like a troll but it took a long time for me to educate myself on this machine. My undervolts in throttle stop are; -185.5 offset voltage and 128 IccMax. My Turbo limits are 3.9 on cores 1-4 and 3.8 on cores 5 and 6 I used MX-6 and no longer see temps above 100c now all temps currently hover around 88c, have seen the GPU temps reach 88c also in the logs.
i would highly recommend you to isolate the GPU and CPU crystal dye with Kapton tape just leaving exposed the crystal dye of the GPU and CPU and get this: thermal grizzly kryosheet: amzn.to/3OQkrP4 it is very conductive, that is why you need the isolate the capacitors and surroundings with Kapton tape, this sheet is none expiring and will last life time and it is better than Liquid metal and re usable. and with this you will see the magic. we do it for our clients and they are happy with short and long time results. cheers🍻
Thank you for the suggestion. In the future this machine will benefit greatly from the use of high quality thermal pads, I'm very happy with my G7's performance after the much needed maintenance after becoming aware of all the unattended thermal issues engineered into it. You treat your customers very well creating this sort of video documentation for them and I commend you for it.@@uFixTek
How do I know when I have to change the thermal paste? When Im using it for work, it’s pretty normal but when I do gaming, it is super hot. So Im not sure whats wrong.
🫠Regarding your question, if you gaming about 1-3h daily and using for additional few hours of normal use then you should repaste once a year. and i highly recommend you to use a good thermal paste like: thermal grizzly kryonaut: amzn.to/3VDv0JC cheers🍻 This is an Amazon affiliate link.

I'm curios if you can help me, so here's my problem. First, if I use my laptop it is pretty slow, but when it is plugged in the charger it runs pretty good. Second, my laptop tends to get super hot when I'm using gaming, it is pretty hard to use the laptop keyboard (I'm using an external keyboard). It runs normal when I'm just using admin apps for work, but like I said it has to be plugged in. I'm not sure how to fix it, was hoping to hear from someone that had a similar experience and how they fixed it. My laptop is Dell G7 15 7588 but I just upgraded the RAM to 16gb, and just replaced with a new battery last week. This problem has be going on for more than a year now. Hope someone can help. Thanks in advance.
I use the same laptop and game, play my bass through it, etc,. Regarding it having to be plugged in, that is somewhat normal because the battery is not that powerful. I have the same problem so I keep it plugged in. Regarding it heating up, I strongly suggest buying a fan that connects to your laptop to cool it off. The laptop has to sit on top of the fan. Get one that connects via USB and has 5 or more fans with it. The Nvidia 1060 runs hot. Lastly, keep you system cleanup up. Disk Cleanup, Defrag your HDD, etc., and delete unnecessary files in c:\windows\temp and your user folder. I hope that helps. There has been no game that I cannot run right now, anyway. However, my HDD just died, so I may order a new one and buy a new laptop. LOL.
Regarding your feedback, I have been servicing computers for over 17 years, and for the past 7 years, we've been using Arctic MX4 for our clients. In our experience, we haven't noticed a significant degradation in the performance of the thermal paste over time. The slight increase in temperatures we've observed after about 8 months is generally expected due to regular wear and tear. While we do use Thermal Grizzly and highly recommend it if it fits within your budget, the choice of thermal paste can be a matter of personal preference. It's essential to keep in mind that not all heatsinks are perfectly flat and balanced, and variations can occur within a batch. If you're dealing with an uneven surface, then I would indeed recommend opting for a thicker thermal paste like Arctic Silver 5. However, if your heatsink's surface is smooth and even, you should not encounter any issues with MX4. In our daily work, we sometimes come across uneven heatsinks, and in those cases, we advise replacing the paste with thicker compounds to ensure better thermal contact. It's important to understand that the primary purpose of thermal paste is to fill gaps and imperfections between the heatsink and the CPU crystal die. If you use a paste that's too thick, you risk creating a barrier that resembles the effect of using thermal pads, which can result in poorer heat transfer. I hope this explanation clarifies our approach and experience with thermal pastes.

The MX4 you used will become useless after a month personal experience. Use some thicker paste from a good manufacturer
