Cheers for this, really easy to follow, just done mine for 1st time after 3 years use, a lot of dust!!
And now 20 degrees less temps :D
Barrington baby, are you telling me you didn't need to repaste your laptop after 3 years? @@Barrington2408
3 years use 😮 I repaste mine every year or less
@@MrSorinrgn What CPU do you have and how are your temps?
@@StardomplayRyzen 7 5800H, RTX 3070(300W), 32Gb RAM Crucial, Hynix SDD. Star Citizen is the most intensive game I play and it stays at 90’. The game is not optimised. Other games- 75’. If you lift the back of the laptop a bit1-2cm will make a huge difference. 5’ or more. There is not enough air flow under the laptop.
The music makes this unbearable to watch, it would have been better to keep the raw sound in to understand how much pressure you're applying on the compressed air can
Can't find a single video of someone cleaning the keyboard section too
For this model are the fans attached to the heart sink ? One of my fans seems to be damaged and I took it to the repair shop and they said the whole thing needs to be replaced because the fans and the heat sink are all bound together😭
No fans can be taken of heat sink. And changed one by one
@@ivonugis8727 Mine can (Model 16arh7h), you can remove the heatsink and unscrew the fans and they'll come off
Thanks 👍🏼
My right side fan is working like it's supposed to, blowing loads of hot air out, but my left side fan is just letting out a breeze of hot air, is this normal??
Can the fans be replaced individually or is it attached to the heatsink?
They are attached to the heatsink assembly 😡
If I'd known that before I bought mine I might have had second thoughts. If the bearings fail then you have to buy a whole new heatsink kit
@@danm3dit would be almost impossible for them to fail
Is true once the heatsink is open it lose its guarantee and could ruin the laptop even it was repasted? someone told me its better replace the heatsink directly of its model because this kind of laptop´s design was badly done. I have Legion 5 15ACH6H rtx 3070 the only issue cpu temperature goes really bad
i don't think that this is true for any heatsink not just yours, you don't need to replace the heatsink + for the temps just clean the fans and replace the thermal paste and thermal pads.
@@MoradSayed Runs fine and max 70° cpu temperature deepending games with Cpu perfomance deactivated, and Gpu temperature raised a bit around 7-10° more. Shouldnt be problem if both´s temperature maintain equaly?
This is one of the worst laptops I've ever encountered, it probably is just easier to have a certified Lenovo service person replace the whole heatsink because trying to do it yourself is like pulling teeth (without anesthesia).
@@PiotrBarcz Ive thought it was simple and many videos of this model laptop thermal paste repasting method. But the issue is the final result of that told me Cpu could end up 105°. So ive decided to disable Cpu perfomance mode off and runs great around 65-68° max temperature and Gpu equaly
@@dnnisamn6886 Yeah my GPU actually hits the highest temperatures. I have a GTX 1660 in my model and it consistently sits around 86 degrees centigrade. Even after cleaning. And the performance is still messed up.
I want to do this but am scared to get compressed air, ive seen lots of reviews of cans which spray bits of liquid and wouldnt want this to happen. Any good brands to look for?
I don’t use compressed air. Just a brush and a vacuum cleaner. Just disconnect battery and don’t let the fans spin. Fans fins are metal, don’t worry. Don’t forget to repaste. It’s very easy.
I stopped using compressed air cans to clean my laptop because they sometimes spray liquid. I now use a portable blower or air duster. I used it on my Legion 5 Pro 3070ti, and it worked great. It's rechargeable and has different nozzles for different uses.
Should I unattached my battery first?
Unplug the battery before you touch anything. Then if you can get rid of static electricity in your hands.
Thanks, I actually was going to disassemble mine. I'm still worried if my heatsink ribs got this thick wool-like mat on the inside, but it's worth trying.
How did that go?
@@weiqiii9017 it's a mistery why there was no thick wool, but I used a vacuum cleaner carefully once in a while. So it went good, I cleaned the present dust and checked radiators with a flashlight, pristine result!
@@doktorkoka i see. I recently saw that there was lint inside the heat sink, and I didn't know how to get it out, since the fans are soldered to the cooling module. ty man.
@@weiqiii9017 wait so what did you do to clean the heatsink/radiator if theyre soldered on? is just using compressed air enough?
what's the temps difference after cleaning the fans?
I cleaned mine and there was zero difference, despite performance coming back around somewhat. I don't recommend Lenovo Legions, there are far better computers out there without a doubt. These things are tough to get into at all, have an impossible to remove heatsink unless you have a million little tools to use and run badly even after cleaning!
@@PiotrBarczwas it that dirty to begin with
@@warrioremperor6320 No it wasn't actually. Temps have always hovered around 86 C but performance has been up and down since I got the thing.
I reinstalled Lenovo Vantage last week, lord behold, all the lag stopped but since then I've gotten a Blue Screen Of Death almost every day! Hypervisor errors, readonly memory being attempted to be written to etc. this thing is a loose cannon!
@@PiotrBarcz No, it isn't a loose cannon. Mine is working perfectly, not a single issue since i got it, i even use LegionFanControl to set fans to be dead silent, even while gaming, and temps are still good. Most of the gaming laptops sound like a fking jet taking off when you throw something slightly demanding on it. I really wonder what brand you actually recommed, since i cycled through A LOT of laptops until finally sticking with Legion.
@@amurraya5061 I guess you got lucky, I haven't had a single lenovo computer that didn't have some sort of issue (2013 Lenovo desktop destroyed itself when doing windows updates, had to reinstall the OS, took 4 days to figure that one out, two thinkpads that have bad internet ports, audio issues and other problems, my lenovo legion that has had fault audio drivers, fault graphics drivers, cooling issues, BSODs all the time now, the list goes on).
However all the HP Pavilions I've used worked perfectly for years, with exception of my main one that I damaged from overheating by working outside with it in the blistering hot summer.
I've only had one dell go bad, toshiba seems to work fine, I have an acer from 2010 with a broken screen that still works fine too, basically every brand that I've dealt with didn't have as many issues as the Lenovo ones.
If the heatsink were actually *easy to clean* then maybe this thing wouldn't be causing me half of the issues it's been giving me but at this point I probably will need to reinstall Windows on it to get it working at all well.
Aren't you just blowing dust back into ur pc,
Without taking apart the heatsink and fan?
Not really, as the heatsink and fan are kind of self-contained. They are not connected to the "inside" of the laptop. So in this case, I blew the dust towards the fan, and as the dust had nowhere else to go, it came out through between the fan blades
@@Bladetusoh so there's no problem blowing the heatsink too? Sorry for the dumb question but im preparing myself mentally to do this and ive seen people even taking apart the heatsink when it's apparently the worst thing you can do to this laptop. So just blow the fans, heatsink, clean any visible dust and that'd be all?
Well of course I cannot give any guarantees, but this procedure has worked for me at least, twice now actually. Be careful with the fans though, as they seem quite delicate.
Also, both times I've done this there has been some dust left trapped somewhere around the fan, and there was a slight noise when I turned the laptop back on after cleaning. The first time it stopped on its own after a while - the clump of dust was likely dislodged by the airflow from the fans. The second time I blew some air towards the heatsink with the laptop closed, which helped immediately.
@@Bladetus Is there a gap that you can blast compressed air into the heatsink through? I really don't want to try and disassemble the heatsink, it's really badly designed. I vacuumed out the fans but I think that not only the thermal paste has gone but that there's still dust that's jammed at the ends of the cooling ducts.
@@PiotrBarcz More compressed air perhaps?
What are you using for cleaning, that's not pure air is it?
It's regular compressed air meant for cleaning electronics
@@Bladetus How can this be compressed air if when you use it liquid comes out of the spray nozzle and you can clearly see this in the video!
@@G_Martins Clearly it's some magic compound which the author is keeping from you. How naughty. 🥺
@@G_Martins 🙄when canned air isn't fully upright liquid from the can sprays out it's not rocket science
bro are you serious no remove battery simple mistouch board dead
How horrible
hello, could you elaborate a little more please ?
happened to me, but it did not die somehow, i shit my pants when i saw electricity. Then I learnd that you can enter bios to disable the battery so you dont have to pull it out.
@@wolger531 It's good practice to disconnect the battery from the computer and then discharge the computer by holding the power button for 15 seconds to get rid of any leftover charge. The battery power coupling is ridiculously stiff, it's very hard to get out without pry tools but the fans are even worse.
What product are you throwing in the cooler?
thats clearly canned air
Compressed air
Hey can i use an eletric compreses air duster?
why wouldn't you be able to? just don't spin the fans with it cause you could kill them.
@@sp2icy468 for the same reason they say not to use a vacuum
@@MotherShip404 a simple Google search could tell you that electric air dusters are safe for use on electronics.
@@MotherShip404 Vacuum nozzles can touch the circuitry and cause static discharge (didn't happen to me though and I cleaned the fans without pulling the heatsink off) but compressed air from an electric compressor doesn't contact the computer ever physically.
@@PiotrBarcz understood, thanks for the information
