This is THE BEST AW17 disassembly video online! I have an old AW17 R4 that I used throughout my university years until it started to constantly throttle itself due to heat issues. I really need to get it running again since I'm going home for a couple months and getting a brand new one is out of question at the moment. I was able to repaste components and unclog the dirty heatsink thanks to your instructions. I was baffled by the idea of taking off the entire motherboard to disconnect the fan unit, but thankfully there is no need to.
I followed each one of your steps, and I completed the maintenance on my R4 without much problem. Nice video. Nice teacher
What I have learned from this video, is that I need to pay someone to replace the keyboard for me. Great video though!
This was a great video. I have the same laptop and it finally started to throttle today so can't wait to tackle this soon!
It really helped to know you don't have to remove the motherboard. Thanks :)
Just wanted to thank you for posting the video, my 17 R4 had been reaching close to 200 degrees when playing games and was well over 100 when idling. Now seeing mid 90's - dropped to 89 on CPU GPU and low 80's on the mainboard. Going to repaste in a day and see whether or not I can get lower temperatures. Threw in the towel with getting Wi-Fi - couldn't get the cables connected and left it for the time being - was getting cross eyed!
I watched your video just now and plan on attempting to replace the thermal paste. I feel much better about the process after having watched you do it. Thank you!
You my friend are AWESOME. Thank you, did this to a friends laptop with 0 issues and awesome performance results.
Thanks a ton for the video man. Made opening my laptop super easy! Appreciate the good and descriptive video
Thank you so much for this video! Thanks to this I was able to repaste the heat sink. No more crashes in games 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻
Is it still holding! , or you have to change the paste every now and then ? .
I used throttle stop to undervolt the cpu, went from 95 to 81 without renewing the thermal paste
Great vidéo, I couldn't have ask for a better one to make the swap of motherboard in my alienware.
A huge thanks for your work
Thanks for the awesome walkthrough - I think I would have lost my mind trying to figure that out without it. After a lot of cursing of Dell, several unscrewings of things I'd screwed up again, and one cut finger (I didn't know a blood sacrifice was required) my machine has sprung back into life. Never, ever changing the battery again though - I'll just dropkick it down the garden next time.
Thank you for uploading excellent video. Thanks to this explanation, i can probably disassemble my Alienware 17. However, I'm not confident of complete assembly again my myself.
it is very easy, I have done it like 6 times
It's okay not to feel confident because there are over 30 screws to put back in their exact location and they are not all the same size. Then there are ribbon cables that must be reattached and seated correctly or you're gonna have problems. Keep in mind that the two connectors for the wifi card may not snap in so easily like in the video.
Very good video, thank you. Just so it happens I have an identical machine and not much experience of taking things apart but have done it all with your help. Now see if it powers up still lol
What size thermal pads did you use?
its really helpful and its really took so much time and even you did with patient really appreciate mate..
many thanks wonderful.
it worked very well
greetings from Turkey
thank you sir for this video. while changing the thermal paste. i got loads of dust out from my fan. thank you!
SUBSCRIBED!
Dude I owe you so much! You're like a Sherpa that just guided me to the scary peak (re-paste) and back down to safety (all parts reassembled and computer running cold as ice).
Before and after FurMark benchmark scores (GPU stress test) after pasting Kryonaut Thermal Grizzly:
1) I gained an average of 7 FPS
2) WHILE RUNNING 10°c COOLER!!!!!
CPU temps were roughly 12°c cooler during Intel Burn Test
. Average idle temps dropped from 55°c to 41°c
Which means
a) I no longer throttle during sustained peak performance &
b) my laptop runs a lot quieter
i7-7820HK
me too running at 44c to 42c I do it every 8 months
I followed each pass and I have been successful!! Thank you so much.
thank you for uploading this. I have the 17r5 edition and would like to repaste, although i am not having heat issues, i always repaste. Do you know if the r5 is the same as the r4?
Yes both are same
Would it be wise to use gloves/static protection? Or is it not necessary
These Alienware Laptops are always such a pain to repaste.
Silly question: What type of screwdriver are you using?
Спасибо, давно собирался но боялся, разобрал, собрал, все работает👍
Thank you so much for your help! My thermal paste was like ciment, and the dust.... don't even want to talk about it! lol
What size thermal pads did you use. i opened mine up and there was none installed i have the same laptop could you send me a link please ty
I think I may have damaged one of the capacitor on the GPU... GPU in Device Manager is saying having problems, driver can't find GPU...
Great video thank you!!! I had also taken my computer over to u break i fix a year ago to get get my keyboard fixed and came back with a usb port not working, and while i was reassembling i realized the usb cable was unplugged!! I plugged it back it and finally i have 2 usb ports again!!! Turns out they break and i fix lol
After I changed the battery a screen came up saying that my 330 watt adapter cannot be recognised. Is that because I messed something up during disassembly or because of a problem with the charger itself?
Best video on disassembling this laptop. Thanks 🙏
Thank you very much, very helpful video
very helpful. done mine using your tutorial.
I have a stripped screw what should I do
Can you take individual keys off to clean them? I'm scared to pry one off and cant find info on the subject please HELP! :)
And what is the improvement you got In my case I have the laptop For 2 years now and the temperature under heavy load like gaming or something it's like 90 to 98 degrees Celsius
Blue light on my AW 15 R4's lid are not glowing as bright as they used to... Rest of the colors are fine but colors in which blue is needed are not good, for example purple looks red, cyan looks green, the dimmed blue light problem has only occurred in the Alienware logo at the front of the lid and the alien head on the back of the lid. Also I came across multiple people who are facing same issue, why is Alienware so unprofessional? Buying an Alienware is a total wastage of money.
what size are the thermal pads on the aw r17r4
Can i pop out not integrated gpu? My laptop has a short or somthing like that. I need to test all options
If I just want to replace the fans on a 17r4 do I need to remove the heat sink and everything?
Also if I do repaste do I need to replace thermal pads too?
great job, 2mm is too big :( not sure if heat sink is going to make contact with thermal paste, will update, but 2mm is to big for the thermal strips
13:50 I thought I suppose to pull the black piece all the way out, which, I did. Now I have a jacked up KB connector, fml, gotta use some tape to fix this bad boy
What was the thermal conductivity of the thermal pad that u used ? Should I use 3.2 W thermal pad in my acer predator machine . Is it too less ?
Do thermal pads need to be changed or can I just replace the thermal paste?
Thank you SOOOOO MUCH
Is new thermal compound essential if I am removing one of the fans? The right side fan has stopped working despite it being clean, so I am replacing it myself.
Do you have an affiliate link for any of the tools you use? Want you to get the credit for any sales.
Hi, my 17 r4 gets 3-2-1 beeps, what does it mean?
Is the alienware 17 r5 the same to disassembly ?
Why the fuck did they designed it so that you can't clean the heat sinks without having to repaste?....................
omg those srews at 20:46 are impossible to unscrew and not damage them...Dont know what to do now...
i have the Dell Alienware 17 R5 VR Ready 17.3" is it the same process?
Make sure you take screws off of heat sink in order/replace in order. Otherwise you will strip!!!!
I saw a video where the guy puts the adhesive artic silver 5 under the pads, is that a bad idea you are saying?
Some people unplug the fan from behind so you have to take the motherboard out do you think it's better this way
great video & teacher
Damn seems I have to buy a new hard drive got a ssd for a console but seems it would not fit in here
bro did you use alcohol to clean the old thermal paste and if yes which did you use and send me the link also
Is it the same with the new m17 r4?
Do you apply any paste to the heat sink?
I just bought the thermal paste Arctic MX 4 2019 But I'm kind of afraid to do it because it's my first time what do you think I should do Just go for it?
Don't use liquid metal, then don't use much strenght, because you don't need it and see as much tutorial as possible to understund every single move you will do to get the best temp possible bro
yea
I'm in the same boat. Never done it either, but get a static bracelet or mat and just squeeze some of the paste out first as it can go flying out.
Very helpful! Thank you!
Where can I buy the screwdriver?
Mine is crossing 90 and is 4 yrs old.
Why not use 99% alcohol?
Probably stupid fan to heatsink design, if that heatsink gets full of dust and one has to break it down like this and re-apply paste, very expensive procedure...
blowing air into the fans?! you never learned that fans wich you blow on will work as an alternator? and can destroy your motherboard? its low voltage...but its possible
thanks for your concern, however that's not the way computers work...that's why you have rectifiers on the mainboard, to stop the flow of current both ways...
Its helpful
Thats not a very clean repaste....you are too mesy....learn how to do it properly.still liked the video.cheers
