Do you know if SSDs with heat-sinks fit inside this model. I'd like to buy some Samsung 990 Pros with heat-sinks(I have the 18 inch model).
I would assume that if the heatsink model is not thicker than 1.5mm, then it should fit in no problems. BUT, if it's a 4mm type heatsink they use for desktops, I don't think that would fit in. Overall THIS model is NOT that super-thin, so if nothing else, you could put on heatsink pads with a top copper plate I think.
Hello All, i was in the position of not knowing whether Crucial ct2k32g56c46s5 64GB was going to work on my Predator Helios Neo 16 PHN16-72. Well i have installed the ram into my laptop and can confirm its running at 5600MHZ and so far have had no problems. The difference between PHN16-71 and my model is the fact they bought out a BIOS update that allows 32GB ram recently. I have run benchmark tests for the ram and confirm it got 174% Outstanding result (compared to average 146%). But be aware that this worked for me (iv only run it for a couple of hours/problems may occur in the future) please be careful when installing. Especially with that poor construction of an ethernet lid that i broke when installing it.
Appreciate the video @mrgclips and good luck to future installers!
And by the way for storage i am looking at Samsung 990 pro with heatsink that has a height of 8.88 mm so i have a question that is the laptop having enough space to fit that thick ssd in it or i would have to go with the one thats without heatsink, i asked because i heard that those ssds heat a lot coz they are the fastest ( note I am asking this question before opening my pc just to be sure )
I just installed my own heat pad with heat sink solution, which was 1.5mm and BARELY fit in!
Did you do a video on replacing the heat pads and liquid on the cpu and gpu
Only for SSD and RAM thermal cooling pads, but not for the CPU or GPU: ruclips.net/video/E3MmK3uUAYw/видео.html
hello, nice video. But let me ask you... you bought a 5200Mhz ram or the laptop reduced the frequency? Mine is 16gb 5600Mhz OEM, and i`m thinking on upgrading to 32gb or 64gb but keeping the 5600mhz on them. Thanks.
I've bought the 5600Mhz RAM, but the system only recognizes it as 5200Mhz, even though I have the latest BIOS. When I've had the original factory 32GB RAMs, they showed 5600Mhz. Oh, and by the way, my 2 x 16GB RAM modules are now up for sale! LOL! :D
@@mrgclips very nice, but I'm from Brazil. Do you ship them?
LOL - NO! :D Putting them out for sale on my NYC listings. :)
@@mrgclips Take a look at your original DD5, I believe it's only 4800mhz speed. I think you bought the wrong speed.
The original factory DDR5s are most definitely 5600Mhz. The upgrades are as well, however, they are only indicated as 5200Mhz, but I hope the next BIOS upgrade would fix it.
Did you ever figure out how to get back up to 5600 speeds or is it still at 5200? I just did this upgrade as well
I have the latest BIOS, but it still reads 5200 Mhz. I'm hoping that later BIOS updates would fix it, but in worse scenario, I can live with 5200 also.
Hey, Can we undervolt/overclock the cpu in this helios ? have you tried it ? I heard the version is locked for any undervolting and shit.
My BIOS is shown in details starting at the 11 minute area, so as you can see, it is very limited and doesn't allow any overclocking and such.
@@mrgclips man that just sucks. do you have any knowledge of how we can bypass the block ? for a laptop which is in high end category and expensive machine idk how acer , i mean all of their competitors are providing so much customization. how come acer doesnt realize this
I think they're worried about warranty and such in case people mess around with the system and then burn out their computer or something. But I agree, I was very surprised myself when I saw how limited the BIOS was.
@@mrgclips Oh I see , btw i was also looking to buy helios too with rtx 4070
But the main concern was that the fans were too loud, can you tell me how the laptop performs in quiet mode ? What happens if i game in quiet mode? Because i wanted this laptop not for gaming but for all of my work.
Also can you briefly tell me any issues and your personal opinions for this thing?
Thanks in Advance!!
Well, depends on the game, but if it's a CPU/GPU intensive game, then the CPU will get VERY HOT, pretty much 100 Celsius, so you don't wanna do that! The simple fact is that "performance" requires "cooling" and in a gaming laptop like this, it is achieved by 2 hard working cooling fans! I myself have upgraded to have a cooling pad underneath my laptop, BECAUSE of the constant overheating issue, which I will demonstrate in a Tech Review about the cooler, why did I pick THAT particular configuration vs others, how it works, pros and cons, etc. But yeah, gaming requires cooling!
Hi can you make liquid metal repasting video for helios 16 too?
That would require me to take out the CPU, which I wouldn't dare to try.
@@mrgclips It would require you to remove the heat pipe not the CPU. The CPU is probably not removable. :)
Has your system been stable? I was told on acer forums that 32gb is the max, but I've people like you that have added 64gb. Some of them said after a while they started to get memory errors and BSODs.
I have no problems so far, everything is working great and very smooth, and the extra memory comes REALLY handy when editing 4K videos!
@@mrgclips First thing I did was updated bios, then got rid of all of the bloatware.
I installed the 2TB SSD and 64gb of Kingston Fury 5600 CL40 ram and it worked no problem.
Took probably 2 minutes to boot up.
I'm gonna buy some thermal pads next. Thanks for the videos. It was super simple.
I Did this to mine as well and it worked perfectly first boot after memory training… Because it’s DDR5, It will memory train for about 3 min and will boot … i9 13th mobile supports 64gig ..
I've never heard of the "training" before I've tried the update, but eventually figured it out. However, the speed still reads 5200 instead of 5600 Mhz, though I have the latest BIOS.
@@mrgclips iv got the newer version PREDATOR PHN16-72 and cpu i9 14th generation. Iv been looking all over the internet and cant confirm if I can put 64GB of ram in my laptop, any ideas?
If my 13th Gen. CPU could handle it, I'm sure yours can too! :)
@@mrgclips thanks for the reply! Do you think I can choose other brands or stick with crucial as they seem to be making RAM specifically to cover as many laptops as possible. Even if the manufacturer says the max is 32GB. Nervous about installing 64gb but need it for work so will give it go and let you know the outcome.
At the time of my upgrade, Crucial was the ONE and ONLY chip maker that had answered me directly to my questions regarding the upgrade, and they had guaranteed (!!!) that the chips would work with my specific model! The others either referred me directly back to the manufacturer or could not guarantee compatibility.
Just found your video and im praying, because im in the middle of the 5 mins waiting for the laptop to revive 😂
Did it work?
@@mrgclips Oh yess sir it did! thank you very much! Now finding a new challenge with the Predator sense software, that sometimes when you restart your system doesn't load up properly.
Lots of people, including me, have had problems after Predator Sense self-updated itself. The best solution is to go and download the latest version from Acer, remove the current one from your computer, re-install the new one, restart your PC and then re-set all the settings again you've had before, such as keyboard lighting and such.
BUENAS A TODOS MI LAPTO ES UNA helios 16 ph16-71-72yg SEGUN EL SISTE ME DICE QUE TIEN 4 SLOT QUISIERA SABER SI SE LE PUEDE AGREGAR 64 RAM
Hi! Yes and No! The system indicates 4 RAM slots, which may be connection points, but there are only 2 actual usable physical sockets on the motherboard.
Hi, i update With the same ram but with 32 gb.... why the new ram are 5200mhz and not 5200 like the original 16gb?... It's a problem for game?..
In my humble opinion, it is the BIOS that can't recognize the RAM chips' proper speed, so hopefully they will fix that issue in later BIOS updates. But in games, I don't think you'll be able to visually see any difference.
@@mrgclips okay, thank you! Have a nice day!
Will it work on Acer predator helios neo 16 i7 13700HX rtx 4060 (PHN16-71-78R1) can i upgrade to 64gb ram i have 16gb ram inbuilt also i have 1tb ssd can i upgrade upto 4tb ssd
RAM -> Probably not! The CPU may not support it! You could, however, upgrade to 32GB. - The SSD: YES! :)
@@mrgclipsokay brother;)
@@mrgclipsbro I googled cpu supported 192gb ram can you give your telegram username so I can contact you
@@mrgclips Also some site say 128 gb
Well, give it a try with 64GB, but don't be surprised if the clock speed will only read 4800Mhz instead of 5600. The higher RAM would require additional sockets, if I'm correct, because a single RAM socket may not be able to handle or read ultra large capacity chips. Best if you ask technicians about it.
Be honest, did you noticed any difference?
HUGE difference! Now, when I run my web browser with all those tabs, running 2 different video editors, my 3D animation software and start doing some creative work, especially during 4K video editing, Task Manager shows that I'm WAY over the previously available 32GB RAM use, but without any "warning messages" about "please close some of your programs to free up memory" and such. LOL! :) I just added thermal coolers for my SSDs and RAMs, and in the process of making a video, because for laptops, all available cooling is a good idea for heavy users. So YES, definitely worth the upgrade! :)
@@mrgclips great, I have the i7 4060 version, and I don't really put it under a lot of pressure, but I'll definitely upgrade at least to 32 GB, it came with 16.
I will suscribe, but I have a little request, you would be the first, and should be if you uploaded a video tutorial for disassembling the cooler and replacing the liquid metal. I've not seen any other content creator doing it to this model yet.
Messing around with the factory used liquid metal cooler solution is WAAAAY out of my range! LOL! :D I would never dream of taking that apart. But I have a simple idea of solving the overheating problem.
@@mrgclips That's the thing, we will need to that sooner or later, specially you, with your configuration running hotter than mine. I actually upgraded my previous Nitro 5 to use liquid metal, and I found out that even Conductonaut starts to falter and harden if exposed to temperatures over 80c for long periods of time, and my nitro 5 run hot, so I had to replace liquid metal like once a year, the last few times I had to use a fine sand paper to remove the hardened liquid metal from the copper... Fortunatelly my Helios 16 runs at 75c average.
I'm considering a higher quality and design laptop cooler in order to bring down the CPU temp, which is the only one kind o' bothers me, since it can jump up to even 100 C for short periods of time under heavy load, while under normal operation the system is around 63 C. But honestly, the CPU overheating is nothing new to me after having at least a dozen laptops over the years, some of them were custom made to my own specs.
You skipped the most important part. How to get the bloody cover open!!!!
