    Hello sir, thanks for making this vid. I was about to change the thermal paste but i'm afraid to dissassembly the fan part, so i just cleaning the dust every three months. Now it's getting 10 months since i got my laptop and i wanna change my thermal paste. It's not overheat though but my laptop needs a maintenance cleans and for a good long-term function. Once again thank you sir, i appreciate the vid👍👍

      🫠Regarding your question, if you have cleaned the fan and the heatsink without lifting the heatsink, and you have temperatures under 85°C when gaming, then you don't need to repaste. If you have high temps (over 90°C) when gaming, then you will need to repaste.
      Don't repaste if your temps are okay-just stick to regular fan and heatsink cleaning.
      Should you have any further questions or requests in the future, please don't hesitate to ask me.
      cheers🍻

      @@uFixTek oh, is that so? I don't need to repaste it then, yes? My laptop never have temps over 80°C because i have an air conditioner in my room and when i bring outside its just only get 60-70°C average gaming, but 50-60°C when do normal task like office and programing thing. The weather kinda hot in my country too.
      I just wanna do thing with my own and someone said to repaste every 6 months. it's not necessary, right? But when i need to, Is there an efficient way like a pattern for repaste? Or i just smear the paste all over?

      Anyone who says you should repaste every 6 months can go **** themselves. 🫠 You do not need to repaste until the temps are over 85°C under stress (load). Temps between 50-60°C are still okay. The service time depends on user usage and the environment (like how dusty the place is).
      If you want to know how often you need to repaste, here's what you should do:
      1. Do the first repaste with good thermal paste and note the date.
      2. Use the laptop as you regularly would.
      3. Make a note of the temperatures of the GPU and CPU on the first day of service.
      4. After 8 months, check the temperatures of the GPU/CPU. If they are reasonable (under 85°C for the GPU under load), then extend the interval until you see the GPU reaching 85°C under load.
      5. Then, open the laptop, do a cleaning, and check how clogged up the fan is and how dry the thermal paste is. Based on your observation, decide if you want to extend the interval to 12 months or adjust it accordingly.
      There is no exact timeframe for servicing a laptop, so don’t let anyone fool you.

    Would you say reapplying the paste is a must as soon as u get it? Or is the coating good enough to not warrant reapplying?
    BTW, very nice vid!

      It's my pleasure my friend, i appreciate your support.
      🫠Regarding your question, if your laptop is new, do not touch it for the first 6 months of heavy use. After 6-7 months, check the temperatures and see if they have increased from the day you purchased it. If they have, you may want to reapply thermal paste with a good quality product.
      Should you have any further questions or requests in the future, please don't hesitate to ask me.

      It's my pleasure my friend.
      🫠Regarding your question, I would highly recommend getting a new fan from AliExpress as they are not expensive. The fan is installed with pressure, and if you pull it out with force, there's a 50% chance of breaking it. Even if you manage to reattach the fins, it will be unbalanced once placed back, causing it to vibrate horribly.
      cheers🍻
