    Sir, BIG BIG BIG THANKS TO YOU!!!! I just finished doing this with my Alienware m15 R2 and I could not believe my eyes on these new temperatures. COD Warzone was spiking my temps all the way to 95 and 100C while the processor was undervolted. I have the processor running normally and the temperatures are 60C while gaming and around 40C on idle. I did exactly what you did and bought the same paste you have in the video and I have not seen any overheating whatsoever. Subbed and liked your video.

    • @Meanpooh
      @Meanpooh  3 года назад +4

      Glad I could help! It's a little daunting at first but once you know what you're doing its not too bad. The screws are the main problem IMO. The fear of not getting one out is really terrifying. Congrats on your temps.👍

      @allenampueda447 3 года назад +2

      @@Meanpooh I actually stripped one and had to force it out with a tool. Thankfully I had a bunch of dell laptop screws laying around and I replaced the right screw. What terrified me the most doing this was the little touchpad flex cable. People should avoid removing it from the motherboard and remove it from the opposite end. I actually broke the little tab off the mobo connector (I could not express in words how careful I was being and still broke it) but I was able to repair it.

    • @Meanpooh
      @Meanpooh  3 года назад +1

      Thanks. Since replaced the screws and all is going well. Taking it apart is a job but once you do it, it’s alright. Getting the undervolt just right will pay off with most games. Here lately, undervolting is giving my machine problems and ACC uses undervolting within its software. Could be a conflict.

    Opened up my m17 r4 to dust off the fans, followed this guide on disconnecting the battery from this video. "Gently pull to the right/use tab if needed" all that did was lead to me pulling the tape thats on the connector off. Horrible advice, watched another video where the guy sorta shimmys and just pulls it off, that worked. Couldnt even get the tape back on all the way now i feel weird cause the cables are exposed.

    Very informative video. Unfortunately, all the same screws stripped for me as well. Screw No. 10 in the final part got completely stripped and I could unscrew it. It's so unfortunate. My laptop has been hitting 90-100C ideal. And, it's unable to push more than 30 fps in New world because of throttling. Atleast, I got it back together and it works. Awesome video by the way. I was so close.

    • @Meanpooh
      @Meanpooh  2 года назад +1

      You're welcome. I got them here amzn.to/3DryMLe. It's a shame really that such a well built machine suffers from this thermal problem. Although the machine can handle the high temps without throttling I too would much prefer it to be lower. Every game I play for the most part gets a modified undervolt setting. The Alienware control center from my experience interferes with Throttlestop so I try to keep it closed and or not loaded. I can usually keep the temps pretty low while staying almost near 4.3 as seen in this video.ruclips.net/video/2vkE6JQi5U4/видео.html&ab_channel=Meanpooh
      Hope all goes well with the repaste.

      Have you taken a magnifying glass to see if any pins on the cable are damaged? The error you are getting is a sign of display failure. If it was working before you did the repasted then its safe to say that the problem lies at the connector. If you think it may be damaged, you can try here for a replacement www.parts-people.com/index.php?action=category&id=151&subid=1413&refine=lcd+cable
      Make sure nothing is inside the motherboard connector that may be causing the pins to not touch.

      I still have my machine and I hate the ACC. Its a waste of space. I tried removing it with a fresh install and it made it worse. It's almost like the ACC is tied to the BIOS and knows when its not installed. Anyway, your machine is made to run at the temps you are getting. It will not hurt it. What you should do is use the cool setting for your fans and balanced for power. That should drop some degrees off. For good measure try to raise the rear of the machine so its not flat on the table. BTW, ACC messes with undervolting. It will change the settings but will not reflect in the app. If you undervolt, do not open ACC.

    on a scale of 1-10, how bad would it be to not replace the stripped screws? thank you for the video, by the way! Very informative.
    I've put off doing this to mine for over a year, but the other day it shut off due to overheating (my fault, I had the performance set to "quiet," and forgot, then launched a game)... so it's time to face the music and re-paste like i'd planned to from the start. it was actually this very video that scared me off from doing it back then, because this is all much more complicated than my previous laptops, lol.

    • @Meanpooh
      @Meanpooh  Год назад +2

      It's not that bad. It depends on where the screw was located. If it's around the CPU or GPU area you will want to replace that ASAP as its holding pressure down with the heat sink. If it's anywhere else where more than 3 screws are going in then 1 missing will not hurt. Until I got a replacement, I had reused the screw but just barely screwing it back in. Recently I dismantled the laptop to replace it. I've had it sitting on my desk for months. I had to do it so I could test some thermal grease on the laptop. So far it's going great but more testing is needed.

    • @RobertZabulonian

      So I went and got more screwdrivers and managed to loosen 4 of the 8 uncooperative screws. But the remaining 4 simply will not budge. I suppose I can try super glue, and if not that, then I'll have to put it back together and maybe order a stripped screw extraction kit
      But those are expensive and I'm uncomfortable using one on a motherboard.

      "This computer is designed without an RTC coin cell-battery. After a service incident where the system battery is disconnected, when the battery is fully discharged, or when the system is reassembled and turned on, an RTC reset cycle will occur. When an RTC Reset cycle occurs, the system turns on and off three times. An "Invalid Configuration" error message is displayed prompting you to enter the BIOS and configure the date and time. The computer starts functioning normally after setting the date and time.
      CAUTION Removing the battery resets the BIOS setup program’s settings to default. It is recommended that you note the BIOS setup program’s settings before removing the battery."
      Also this may help
      "Recovering the operating system
