5 degrees drop is actually a nice improvement. It might not be that impressive for desktop rig, but we are talking about slim laptop. Those crappy pastes that come with notebooks usually do not last long enough to provide decent cooling for even a year of heavy usage. So, it is DEFINITELY worth it.
Yedige Moldagaliyev I was thinking more in the amazing 15 drop on my MSI. But it has a big fan so all in, 5 degrees C is good. Just maybe not for everyone the work involved for 5 degrees C.
If it's worth it, if you can make the heat dissipate into the chassis/cover as well, maybe it's worth trying? It would hot on the lap though. :P
You said you don't like liquid metal. Well do you wanna see your 10-15 degree drop? Here's what you have to do. Go buy some nail polish(Gamer's nexus said which one to use) or high temp black tape, put it around your gpu and cpu, get some metal thermal pads that grizzly sells too. Now, apply the liquid metal, and change the thermal pads. If you wanna do a real stress test do a combination of blender and Aida 64 with a custom windows power plan that maxes out the cpu, and also, overvolt the cpu a bit. Aside from that overclock your gpu as far as you can. With that cooling system this shouldn't cause any temperature issues. I honestly think you would get a very large performance increase from all of this.
@@xygnal Beside dust cleaning and replacing the thermal paste, undervolting the CPU also helps reducing the heat. I use throttle stop for that. Controlling the fans is also good, I use NoteBook FanControl for that but it is very complex (need to read Embedded Controler and testing the fan whilist searching for fan registry to program it)

Awesome video. I would do it for 5 degrees.
5 degree is definitely worth it :)
Nope, it is not. You talk about a mobile CPU and not an i9 Threadripper here. You don't need OC headroom here.
Red Phoenix Well, actually you can quite overclock it. I've seen people improve both CPU and GPU performance by a 30%
Nice vid, i was wonder how much it would improve. Thanks!
Great video as always Chris. Great content.
Very informative. Thanks a lot.
Happy to see that repasting does not improve a lot the thermal, cause it means that Xiaomi has done a good work with this notebook...
I hope my i5 model arrives next week!! :)
So... how is your laptop?
Have the same version with i5 and 8Gb RAM. Bought in 2017. It is still really nice working
Very good video, keep it up. What camera you using in this video?
Britec09 My Sony A6300 4k 100mbs and then graded in premiere Pro
Thanks mate
Over and over it becomes just soooo obvious that TechTablets is by far and away the best portable/laptop/tablet information site. Sorry 'other guys', NOT EVEN CLOSE!! :) great work:)
5 Deg. Celsius is definitely worth it imho. There was no effort taking the back case and heat-sink off. And for people with hotter ambiance temps would definitely benefit like myself in Australia in Summer ahhaha.
cool!!! expect a similar video about chuwi lapbook air
great video!! nice to see some of the latest tech being opened and mods being done!!! what do u think of the xiaomi products? i bought a Mi5 s plus 128 gig phone and love it, except their firmware is a little buggy... nice looking lappy though!
5 degrees seems pretty respectable to me, especially since you can uncap the TDP on these chips and it's all up to thermals from there.
Very good Choice regarding Thermal Paste :)
It's always Worth it. :)
I love all about this notebook, in 3 years, i'm going to buy their latest mi notebook pro for sure
5 degree is wonderful in a tiny laptop!!! well done.
5 degrees is a good difference. Don't forget that you added a second ssd which is also a heating element. So MX 4 does a great job as usual. Good video keep it up!!
In the next video use clear nail polish on the exposed electrical components on the processor and then you can use Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut.
A similar tutorial would be nice too if applied to Xiaomi Air, since it has a more "serious" problem when it comes to heat and throttling than the Pro version. Nevertheless, thanks for your high-quality content, as per usual.
I would, but I decided to sell my Air series laptops for this Pro model.
I just wanted to say that I bought this laptop to have a portable machine that i could use for somewhat intensive tasks. It was an upgrade from an alienware17 and a surface pro 4. It sort of combined the two. Anyways, I use Solidworks a lot for 3d renderings and flow/stress simulations and after setting up an overclock profile in Intel's XTU, It overall outperformed the desktop PC I was using(dual 980tis, core i7@5.0ghz). I was however experiencing thermal throttling when running some simulations. I later confirmed that was happening by running a couple stress tests. So i decided to go ahead and I opened the laptop up, removed the paste (which seemed a bit too dry for some reason) and I added some arctic silver 5. I put the laptop back together and after running the same set of simulations and tests, I did not throttle a single time. Maybe there is some variability in the paste/application of it but for me, it made a real-world noticeable difference.
Hello Chris, could you make a Guide for updating the BIOS in Mi Notebook Pro? It's a really important update for the SSD R/W speeds, but when it comes to BIOS we all have some second thoughts! It could really help us. Thanks for the quality content!
hello good video will defently use it .
if could help.
about 3d modeling (architecture) performing
what are your seggetion improving in this specific model ?
thanx in advence gil.
Could you make a similar video, but for the Xiaomi air 13.3 ?? 😎😀
Like a lot of other people saying, I will do this for 5 degrees. Maybe even use a higher quality paste and squeeze out every degree I can. Thanks for the info on the SSD as well. Plus there seems to be a bios mod to upgrade from pcix2 to x4.. Which I plan to also do.
Agree with everyone else, 5 Degrees is definitely worth it! Great Vid, very informative.
Hey Chris do you reckon the xiaomi mi notebook pro would be a good daily driver and would last.
Thanks
In case I want to install XTU, the installation routine tells me, the hardware is not compatible. Is this true for the Xiaomi Notebook Pro GTX Version? It seems I have massive throttling but only in battery mode. If connected to the power brick the performance is excellent.
Thank you
Michael
how are the temperatures in play after repaste? ty nice video
Mx4 is Pretty good,i had it on My 5GHz i5 2500k cooled by a silent loop 360mm that gets fresh air from the top of my Dark base pro 900,IT was running at 89c (i know pretty hot) but after i did put condoctunaut on it it was 82c so well if you do a lot of thermal paste replacing get some Mx4 20g tubes
Was it undervolted/overclocked when you did that ?
TechTablets, can you please try to use liquid metal on Xiaomi air 13 so we can know if it prevent thermal throttling ?
best . video . ever
Hello! Can you do a "how to install 2 m.2 and a SSD" for Xiaomi Gaming Laptop? Thanks for the great work!
Use some thermal pads on the vrm's if the heat sink is that big. It helps dissipate alot of heat as well.
Do becareful if you are planning to open up the back cover. The side clips are fragile. I broke 3 ! Not sure how to avoid it as it is really tight and you do need some level of force to pry it off. So yeah, you do have to ask yourself if you really need to do it and if it will be worth it.
It makes a huge diffrrence, use both the arcticlean purifier and cleaner and put grizzly kryonaut on perfectly you can get around a 8-10 degree difference instead of a 5, also in the long run the old one wudnt have been worth it, can you upload some more mi notebook pro videos?
Maybe not too sure what more I could post on the Mi notebook Pro. I have covered it all. The last might be a follow-up video.
try to install mac os on it
It would be very interesting to see the same experiment on the Notebook Air model! (Which actually suffers from thermal throttling, and every C degree would make a difference)
Can you please tell what software did you use ?
This one was requested quite a few times. What do you think, Is it worth the hassle for 5 degrees C max less on maximum temperatures?
5 degrees is a big improvement, but i guest i am toooooooo lazy and probably won't do it.
Even a degree might stop the fan from spinning, so 5° is actually a good one. Remember the GPD Pocket? I also only get 5° drop (in idle) even without using the MX-4, but the machine becomes so awesome that you can push it a lot more (it can now compile its own kernel with all 4 cores in turbo) without getting frozen or reboot.
I use liquid metal on my macbook pro 2012, got about 20C cooler than before. it is not so hard to do
for the Enthusiast level, the answer is yes h_h.
It depends. Seems their cooling is adequate this time, compared to their Air 13 which thermal throttles like crazy with that stupid single pipe-dual heat sources design.
I suggest that you add a remark about cleaning the copper fins of any dust that may be blocking the ventilation.
Jose Pedro Carmo True I should have. But since it's a new laptop it didn't enter my mind.
You should really try Conductonaut on this or some other ultrabook. My dad has an old Pentium T6100 which has TDP of 25W.
After putting Conductonaut on it, the temps didn't go above 50°C even after 30min of prime95 smalFFT torture. Fan was spinning at it's minimum RPM.
Also, someone mentioned nail polish on resistors. It would be awesome if you did all of this. You might be impressed like on your MSI or even more :)
i have done the pea method and now that Thing is even getting better .
I have done a Gaming Test with Intell Stress Test in Background and my CPU stays at 63 Celsius max.
The GPU is at 58 Celsius man never thought that this will be so good.
Even the middle Area over the Keyboard isn´t getting hot anymore.
5°C cooler is still good. Laptops need all the help they can get. Good tutorial 👍
How did you close back the battery connector? I opened it and now can't connext the battery to the motherboard. Appreciate your time.
Hey , could you do a screen replacement video on thé Xiaomi notebook pro by any chance? Thx
what about changing the paste on the Xiaomi Mi Gaming (version i7)? I'm excited to see the results as you've recently reviewed it and mentioned that it would throttle. Btw i just got my gaming version.
hi when installing the m.2 ssd you have to do anything after installing it? cause i can seem to find my ssd any way when i start my laptop i feel like i'm missing something small can you help me i have the Yepo737A and I got a transcend SATA 3 M.2 MTS400 Thx
Fun fact, ArctiClean is just rebranded Goo Gone, the citrus stuff. The stage 2 bottle is just isopropanol.
Never knew that, thanks!
5 degrees on a laptop is always worth the trouble IMHO. Good tutorial
Does the second sdd slot is able to work pcie mode? some say second ssd is only able to use as a sata mode. Any ideas?
Hi. does anyone knows how thick are thermal pads for chips? is it worth to replace them for better? thanks
Mx4 is more runney kind of thermal paste so if you replace it with something like thermal grizzly cryounaut it will work better in this case
5 degrees but how much rpm on the fans? i changed my thermal paste on the lenovo x240 , had a 12degree decrease with a 400rpm fan decrease
How about the name brand quick silver thermal paste?That supposed to be the best thermal paste in the market to uses in all of the heat sinks for all the gaming and computers devices.
What is the model of the SSD you used and is the ram upgradable on this device ?!
Hello, quick question Does it support raid0?
Do i have to do that stuff to keep my laptop working well?
Just a question not related to the CPU, but i will buy this computer and i would know if it's possible to have 3 screen in total (2 external screen + the computer screen) for example 1 screen on the hdmi and 1 in the USB-C (with an adapter). Thanks for your great test.
Yes its possible. One screen on the HDMI, one the laptop screen and the other via the Type-C port.
So the 1st slot it's OK with NVMe x4 and the 2nd with NVMe x2? Simultaneously?
I'd like to see this with the 13 inch model, which is the one with thermal issues.
Could you tell me where to find the CMOS battery?
any temp drop is always worth it. And like you said, Arctic won't give as good results as thermal grizzly, so yeah. definitely worth.
repaste the mi notebook air 13, first version, I would be thankful
how did you install evo 960 in 2 memory slot?
can you put a link of the ssd you have added..? What kind of sdd have to be? Thanks
Very informative video, thank you for posting! I have a question: since today, when playing games or stresstesting the cpu, the power limit throttle kicks in. (default settings)
Did anyone experience this problem?
I am thankful for all replies :)
Edit: After some more reading, it seems like I can raise the watt limit (using throttlestop) before power limit throttling kicks in. However, this seems risky too me. Plus its strage that this only started happening recently. Any tips?
will you try to repaste air13 2017 ?
Did you add the 960 evo m.2 ssd? Or was it standard with the i7 version?
Standard
Spread method is the best for laptop and GPUs. Isn't MX-4 has curing time? Looks good!
Jhii Calma yes I would like him to retest it after a week of use
do you know if it is possible to replace the screen on xiaomi notebook pro? I have a crack in the left top corner
Could you check for me if this laptop runs davinci resolve? there is like no info about mx150's with davinci :)
Am looking to buy one from a seller, I just have one question: is the battery replaceble?
Could you confirm that the 2nd SSD can be SATA or NVMe (2280)? Could they work in RAID mode? Thank you for your awesome videos!
aldebarandj for some reason they are only given 2 lanes of pcie so i dont think you would be able to. Thats why drives cant hit top speeds.
The first SSD has 4 lanes alright. It was a UEFI issue.
I have an idea, the fans are metal right? And they are cooled anyway. Do you think that it’s a good idea to put some thermal pads on it to absorb the bottom panel temperature? It would make it harder to open the case though but it’s not permanent
They are plastic
Could you test Liquid Metal, please???
I'm planning to get this but my biggest concern is the RAM, I'm a graphic Artist and 8GB is not enough for me but this has soldered RAM. Is there a similar priced laptop with the same portability but has an upgradable RAM slot?
should I uses thin thermal pads on ram also
great video, mx4 is not conductive thou
i got closer to a 10c drop with noctua nh-1 and the pea method rather than the bag method, very worthwhile upgrade.
Jon Daly nice, did you also notice the fans come on less? Still looking for something to shut them up
you know i thought they did, but i read somewhere that the fan speed is controlled by voltage rather than temp, i have noticed a difference in fan noise after using xtu, i couldnt undervolt using xtu as i have the rev 501 bios but you can force the cpu to underclock by reducing the boost power limit to around 11-13 watts so that the power throttling kicks in and that has had a significant impact on fan noise under load for me.
11w still gets a 3ghz boost under load and but the 3rd speed on the fan curve doesnt kick in nearly as much
Is this a similar process for the Xiaomi Air?
Anyone know which model # of fan I search to upgrade the stock plastic fans which are now noisy to metal variants?
I will buy mi notebook pro 15.6 i5 and I want to ask a question. Can we add samsung 960 evo 250gb 3200-1500mb/sn pcie nvme m.2 ssd ???
What's the best performing paste that doesn't crust up easily? I don't want to repaste too often. Maybe something that lasts 1 year without solidifying.
Does anyone know the reference of the female power connector or just where I can buy it? Thank you for your help!
Did you find out?
When repasting, you shouldn't look at the amount of it to determine the quality of the pasting job. The only difference the amount makes is how clean it looks (as long as it's not way too little). The way of applying also really doesn't matter; just skip the spreading part, the pressure from the mounting screws will do that just fine for you, especially on such a small surface. You can do it if you want, but it will not improve the thermals at all. Source: ruclips.net/video/r2MEAnZ3swQ/видео.html
In short; buy a better quality thermal compound (I'd recommend Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut if you can find it at a decent price, or Gelid GC-Extreme if you can't), just put a little bit on there (too much is better than too little) and let the mounting pressure do the rest.
I don't understand... the i5 8250u has 2 separate dies on the same package? One is for the gpu part?
Yes, that's the inthel UHD 620 chipset of integrated graphics.
hello can i ask for help i have the same pc but the 13.3 inch lately i have been experimenting an issue when as when ever i leave the pc for like 5min it goes int sleep then when i try waking it up but hitting the keyboard the screen remain black until i hard restart it at first i though it was the thermal paste so i repleaced the thermal paste still not resolved help me if i can fix this i going to a mac book.
Ordered the Mi Notebook Pro a few days ago. Will probably check the temp after a while and repaste... (never done it before though, so I'm not totally convinced I know what & how to do it, this vid is definitely helping though). I'd definitely say those 5 degrees are worth it, especially since it will probably help even more in the longrun.
Best of luck, if you're not sure maybe leave it. if not done right temps could increase.
I have an idea, the fans are metal right? And they have good airflow anyway. Do you think it’s possible to transfer some heat to use it as a heat sink itself? Use thermal pads between chassis or some super flat copper bridge to heat pipe
it would be possible, but not really sure it would do much here. In the case of the fanless tech I review it does really help out.
Thanks
5 degrees is nice. I'd say that's worth it in the long run
Keep in mind, those 5 Degrees would help you a lot with Intel XTU :) Tweaking TDP from 15 to 30-40W will give you a dream-performance.
5 degrees is a huge difference, of course it is worth, considering that it only takes like 10 minutes (at most)
Can you show us how to clean the cpu of thermal paste? that step is missing.
What screwdriver set is that?
Can I put a wireless in the m2 port?
70 deg under 100% load? that's a lot of headroom for a thin and light laptop. even for u series processor. they did a really good job cooling their cpu
i got 100*C all the time Thermal throttling with only chrome and 50 tabs.. cpu 10-15 Utulized
Wowowowowow
