    This is what people don't get, don't do pea/dot method on laptops because it's not a normal cpu/gpu. It's essentially a de-lided cpu/gpu meaning you absolutely need to cover every part of the metal with paste

    This is absolutely the way to go, already opened my laptop once before to re-apply thermalpaste, made no difference.. Opened it up to repaste and clean it now (6 months from last repaste), and found it was not spread evenly. I now spread it out evenly myself on both the heatsink and cpu/gpu. Thermals went from 95 on cpu/91 on gpu (stresstest), to 80-85cpu/75-80gpu (stresstest). No more throttling and works like a charm! Used NT-H1 thermal paste. To anyone having issues with temps also look up undervolting your cpu. Great video!

    Just a line or a centre blob is NOT enough. We do have to have a thin layer, just like Thermal Grizzly recommends.
    Temps will effectively go down AND IT ALSO MINIMISES THE PUMP OUT effect.

      I recommend to try phase-change material Honeywell PTM7950. It comes as a sheet and you don't have to mess around with any applying dots, dashes or crosses. Just cut out a piece the size of the IHS/core and stick it on. Also don't have to worry about whether the paste is too little or too much - it will be just right. In addition, it lasts longer, performs works better than traditional pastes and there is no pump-out effect.

    This video saved my laptop. Bought an MSI GE75 RTX2080 laptop for cheap. This thing was going up to 96 degrees while gaming. I opened it up for a repaste. I figured I can probably do it myself. Something just looked off when I took off the heatsink but I couldn't put my finger on it. Then I saw your video and realized what it was. Someone put thermal paste on the chips that are supposed to have thermal pads. I mean this stuff was everywhere. Cleaned everything off and applied new pads and thermal on CPU/GPU. Now it doesn't exceed 80 degrees under full load. Thnx a lot!

I was shocked when I saw The CPU temperature drop by 20*C! I was hitting 94*C under all-core load before and now it's 74*C. I'm so happy! The GPU temps dropped too from 62*C to 58*C (tested with Unigine Heaven benchmark).

    Yeah, when i overtighten it last year from my first attempt in repasting, the result are a really worst temps.
    But in my helios 300 (2017 15 inch) unit giving that more paste than rice grain result in a same worst temps, i get the best when i only do it like a little bit longer than rice grain, let it spread and when i open it next year (now) to repaste it again after i notice some thermal performance drop.
    I see the paste spreading evenly (probably due to the black tape at the heatsink trapping the paste on the cpu & gpu die).
    By the way, i only use 1mm thermal pads on all chips and it's working fine, but indeed there is some chips that need 0.5mm, probably cause of my thermal pads are elastic (thank god), otherwise i would crush the chip and brick the board.
    I didn't recommend using all 1mm pad on the chip, but if you're using arctic thermal pad, maybe your chips would be safe since that one are elastic.
    Overtighten and overpasting resulted in avg temps staying at 93-95 with max fan (game ark survival, high) for cpu while gpu at 85-90 all in celsius.
    After using considerable amount of paste and not overtighten it i got 84 avg and 74 avg for gpu all in celsius.
    That's funny cause i didn't even undervolt it, undervolt -0.125V giving me 75 avg cpu and 68 avg on gpu (120 core 300 memory OC) all in celsius, and that's damn decent for i7 7700hq + overclocked gtx 1060m (same game, ark survival at high setting).
    Ah i forgot, and thanks for your recommendation about thermal pad and paste.
    Your tutorials last year are really helping me out.

    update: Ive tried pea sized and line method in the past. They kinda worked fine but after gaming for an hour, my lappy (Acer nitro 5 ryzen 3550h/gtx1650) started to thermal throttle(95-100°C). i thought my laptop's a goner. but then i tried this spread method and damn its working! played gta v for first 40 mins in max and am getting stable 90-92°C without any thermal throttle (ik its still pretty high but Atleast its still better than experiencing thermal throttle every 2 minutes). I tried AC valhalla as well played for 40 mins and got stable 90-93°C on it throughout without any issue. the temperatures are probably high because of the environment where i live in xddd which is about 40°C

Followed your vid and metod to apply new Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut on my Cpu/Gpu. I was shocked when i took off the heatsink, cause the paste jobb from the factory was terrible! Before the repaste i got 90+ and thermal throtteling all the time and had to turn down all the settings and even then it was struggeling after a while, and the fans was going full speed. Been testing now with GTA 5 with optimal settings in Geforce Exp since i repasted and im on a stable 70 deegres on full load, so about 25 deegres down from pre paste. Thanks for the vid and guide im overjoyed and can finaly game on my gaming laptop again! Cheers keep up the good work!

    • @donniedarko7751
      @donniedarko7751 Год назад

      When you spread it you introduce air bubbles, you're supposed to put a blob in the middle or do an x on the die then when you apply pressure to it from the heatsink it will spread it. If it doesn't spread across the entire die there is not enough paste or not enough pressure from the heatsink.
      X method does actually solve the problem he is showing here. He mangled the x but that is the best way because its pushed out without introducing gaps of air in the paste. You get a good spread.

    @soldmycatforheroin 2 года назад +5

    You recommend to spread a little over the heat plate as well, to make sure it is adhesive, but as the surface area is bigger than the die itself and uneven it‘s guesswork/messy. What would be your opinion to spread a thin layer on the die and then putting a „X“ on top of it?

    • @HotelHero
      @HotelHero  2 года назад +5

      The reason you want to apply a bit manually (with a spreader) to the heat plate is because of the micro grooves in the copper itself.
      If there are small gaps in the grooves where paste doesn't apply the air can create heat pockets and temps could fluctuate.
      To be honest your idea would probably work just fine and this is mostly my opinion as an OCD individual lol.

      Give yourself extra time if you've not done something like this before. When the paste heats up for the first time it may show good temps but as it softens it may settle and not perform as good as it initially did. You may have to reopen and add a bit or adjust your thermal pad spacing to get temps to remain good.

    2:18 when applying liquid metal it would be best practise to apply a conformal coating to the resistors and capacitors surrounding the cpu and gpu. One coating I like is "MG Chemicals 422C Silicone Conformal Coating". If you live on the coast like I do, you could coat your entire board (excluding cpu/gpu dies, slots and connectors of course) in this stuff to prevent corrosion and short circuits from humidity.

    • @HotelHero
      @HotelHero  Год назад

      Conformal coating is also another method. I suggested nail polish because it's cheap and comes with an applicator pretty much built in. Conformal coating typically is in a spray can so if you desire to only coat around the die, it would be a bit messy.
      Also suggesting to coat the entire mobo I wouldn't recommend, as it can cause plugs/latches for ribbon cables etc to become stuck and if a component needs replacing it would make it difficult.

      If you go 1.5mm you may have to re-tighten the heat plates once the pads get warm/soft. That way if the pad is slightly too think it will confirm to the chips and reach proper clearance/spacing.

    Having acer Helios 300 i5 8th gen 1060 with temps reaching 95°c
    Qn) which will thermal paste will you recommend grizzly kryonaut,corsair tm30 or arctic mx4?
    And are thermal pastes conductive as in can it cause short circuit if we accidentally apply a bit to the pins nearby?

    Hi, thanks for sharing with us your method, it's great! I do have a question: What thickness should the thermal pads be? I have an Acer Predator Ph 317-53. I can't find any info about the thermal pads on this one.. I wanted to go with 1mm but I'm not sure if it's too thick or too thin, thanks!

      @@ahmedalsaegh4897 I ended up repasting without replacing the thermal pads because this is quite tricky if you don't know what you're doing. You see, some thermal pads are thicker than the others and some are slimmer and it varies from one to another, and if you don't use the right thickness you might end up worse than before (not always, but there's still a risk) - because there needs to be a certain pressure on the cpu&gpu die-. So, I repasted with Noctua NT-H2 and it dropped my temps for almost 20 Celsius on CPU and up to 10 Celsius on GPU, the stock thermal paste is terrible.

      @@ahmedalsaegh4897 Kryonaut is one of the best (if not the best) thermal paste (non-metallic) out there. It's pretty expensive for the smaller tubes but the 11 gram tube has a really competitive price. I initially wanted to use that one too but I just couldn't find it anywhere.
      Disclaimer: it might dry faster compared to other thermal compounds but if you're using it on a laptop there's not gonna be a problem since you'll have to clean it out of dust at least once a year, therefore, a repaste/year.

    Thanks for the video. I have the 2019 Helios 300. I get max temps up to 88 on cpu and 70 on gpu while playing Apex Legends. That’s with Turbo button off and CoolBoost on. Balanced power setting. Are these temps ok? Should I repaste it? Any idea if the stock paste is not good enough on this laptop?

    • @HotelHero
      @HotelHero  5 лет назад

      I also have the 2019 H300 and your temps are fine. When you reach 95 C your CPU will down clock (thermal throttle) which is what you want to avoid.
      I have premade Throttlestop configurations based on what CPU you have if your interested.

    • @SpikedSilver
      @SpikedSilver 5 лет назад

      Hotel Hero thanks for the response.
      Sure how can I get the profiles? I have TS installed but haven’t changed anything on it yet though. What do the profiles do? Will the Turbo button work still? I see PredatorSense has its own built-in XTU Service which I assume is how the turbo button cranks up the PL1 and PL2 voltage. Will this still work with the TS profile?
      Right now how I’m keeping my temps low; I use 99% power profile in windows and use Extreme Overclocking profile in PredatorSense (just to avoid the loud max fans).

    I’m on my 4th re-paste, having quite a time getting better than factory temps on both GPU and CPU. Its been a real pain in the ass. I don’t think the heat sink on the Asus GU502GV makes perfect contact with the die on both GPU and CPU. I made sure thermal pads were of the proper thickness but I’m not quite there... next method will be the X method. Do you have contact info?

      Depending on the screw config (spring set or not) that could certainly cause issues. Like I discussed in the video most systems thermal pads provide the spacing required for proper paste application.
      Also I recommend giving MX4 a try. It's really good paste and last super long, the 2019 release has a advertised lifespan of 8 years.
