btw, you can smear thermal paste between 2 sheets of aluminum, otherwise heat is transferred to the first sheet from the processor, and the second sheet is simply pressed against the first, this should improve cooling
Yeah... I would have considered dremelling out that USB-C port while I had the bottom off. Maybe drill it out and then 3d print an insert for it, even if I felt like getting fancy.
@@S-Technology I teach 3d printing, so I am very much a hammer that sees a world full of nothing but 3d printed nails. I get not having the time to do it right. I would love to see what you do with it if you decide to go that route, though!
@@jyoung-dj1zr I like that analogy. I enjoy messing with my Ender-3. Although my still basic ability at Fusion360 limits how creative I get. I can make cool things in Tinkercad though... hahaha
@@S-Technology Hey, for some stuff, Tinkercad is all you need. I think it's worth learning F360 or another CAD package, too, but if you get what you need out of Tinkercad, I say go for it. We have a ton of the Ender-3s where I work and they are good little machines. For the record, I like Tinkercad for how easy it is to go from a couple .svg files into custom cookie cutters.
Hell, I'm rather impressed at how relatively easy that was to disassemble. Quite a tidy little unit. I'm also in the camp of dremeling out the USB C port, because on a device that small you pretty much need every port you can get. Also agree with SUCHMISH about the rubber feet, couldn't hurt. With the bottom plate being full metal it should act as a nice heatspreader. It also looks like it'd be mighty easy to 3d print an alternative bottom plate for it, so you could make Joycon rails, or just attach it to a deeper bottom for extra internal space. Not that I really suggest that, but it'd be neat.
Dremeling the port is definitely something I am going to do. Possibly finding some longer adhesive pads for the bottom, and replacing the thermal paste should also help with the heat. 3d printing a bottom plate is an interesting idea. You would need to use something that takes heat better than PLA though.
@@S-Technology PLA would be overall bad both for heat and for creep, the case would start coming apart on it's own in a while at the clips. Definitely something for ABS (heat AND creep at it's best plus it's cheap) but sure is harder to use. At that short height tho it might be quite viable if you've got the bed size.
It looks like they were going to try to put a fan on the cpu. Not enough cooling. Then use an aluminum plate with that square indention as a heat sync with a fan. Still not enough cooling. Then doubled the plates to increase the mass of the aluminum and then use a fan elsewhere to move air over it. Still must have been cheaper and use less space than a heat pipe. I still give this unit good marks for this design. Thanks for showing such great detail!
With the fact that it doesn't have heat pipes and the fact that it's metal upon metal, I believe that the aluminum conducts the heat to the bottom panel to dissipate heat from the CPU... I would recomend getting some rubber feet for that laptop, sticking it to the bottom so that there is at least a 1/8th of a inch of clearance, that way it can get air flow going across the metal panel and cool the CPU better!!
It does have small black rubber feet on it, but with the footprint size of the bottom. But you are right that it does need more clearance than what they originally give it.
So, this is cool. What I'm getting from your videos is that we might look around for suppliers who say it's got a USB-C port, so we don't need to excavate our own holes, and don't be afraid to order bottom of the line specs, because if they're making something better, they'll probably send it to you rather than take one apart and downgrade it. You said, I think, it's less glitchy with windows reinstalled. Did I get that right? And I really wish other manufacturers made laptops that were this easy to take apart! My 14 inch Lenovo was much more of a PITA than this one.
@Spencer Dawkins That’s possible. I just keep saying that the quality control doesn’t seem consistent. I wouldn’t want someone to purchase a lower tier model and expect a better version. I do feel like the CPU peaks less frequently after reinstalling windows. And yeah it opened much easier than I expected. I have a 14 inch HP laptop that I ended up tearing a part of the rubber foot and cracking a plastic guitar pick opener just to upgrade the RAM.
You have completely unused space in the corner between battery and cooler. Youcan put there some small PpwerDelivery PCB module with Type-C port, set it for the same voltage as standard charger and Soler directly to the charger pins on the motherboard. And "cooling system" needs and modification/upgrade. There is not much room for serious modification, but you can't try to check for the air goes though this laptop inside, and maybe change the radiator to something like it was in the last generations of Intel Mac Air.
Another device for your consideration: there's a "Pocket PC" that is 5 inches. Has the J4125 as well but no keyboard or mouse. Just a touchscreen. I'd be interested in your breakdown of it
I'm thinking of getting it, my only question is what in the world is that fan doing? There is clearly no heatpipe going to it The only half-reasonable idea that comes to mind is it sucks air out, but if you think about it having an exaust at the bottom of the laptop isn't a very good idea. Edit: i now see what they've done, the air is actually coming out the side, still going to be far better off with a heatpipe obviously
a way to make the cpu cooler, maybe much cooler is to put some new thermal paste on that cpu and not just a little dot like on a desktop cpu, there is no such thing as too much and its a bare cpu die. also put thermal paste between the two sandwiched together sheets of aluminium as air is a really bad heat conductor.
I thought of replacing the thermal paste. Putting some between the aluminum seems like an interesting idea. I also though of getting some of those thermal pads (I know they aren't as good as paste) to gap the space between the top aluminum and the bottom of the unit. There is a large air gap between those two. The pad currently there seems it's more for structural support than cooling.
😀awesome! can't wait to see if we can upgrade this cpu to a duo core in the next episode. if this can be done, then this little tiny machine is totally worth it by all means. also surprised to see the cooling fan does not have a heat pipe directly over the cpu and gpu. improve the sandwich aluminum cookie baking pans, this tiny little system can be a smoking beast!!! thanks!
Not sure about me swapping out that CPU. I am going to make an access for that USBC, add some (probably overkill) better thermal paste and one more idea to help with the cooling. I think those little mods will make this way more useful for a daily use take everywhere option.
...that processor is a quad core tho... The best thing available on that same footprint (FCBGA1090) would be a Pentium Silver J5040 which isn't too much better in comparison, given the fact you'll have to de-solder a BGA processor and solder back in another one, then hope the BIOS recognizes it and it all goes well, I doubt it would be worth trying. Funny that Intel claims it's up to 8GB on RAM support (both the Pentium and the Celeron on this specific machine) tho they sell it with 12GB...

Did you need to install any specific drivers to get the mouse to work after swapping the SSD and reinstalling Windows? I installed Windows 10 and the left click stopped working despite it working on the version that's on the SSD that came with the computer.

Question: are there unused Ribbon cable slots? At around the 2:52 mark in the bottom right corner. I'm not very well informed but it reminds me of the bits that ribbon cables go into. If so: what are they doing there? What can they be used for?
There are quite a few unused ribbon cable slots all over. Some are probably for testing, but my guess is that this board is used in other larger laptops with other features. The stylizing, options and layout is really close to a larger laptop reviewed by LTT. I wouldn't be surprised if its not the same board in various "cheap laptops" on AliExpress.
The one I have has a J4125. I did see that there were different versions by different vendors. They seemed to want to use fluff terms like "2022 version" or "upgraded model" but if you looked at the listings the CPU varied. The listing for mine did say J4125, but I also did order the 128gb model and received a 256gb SSD. So not sure about the actual quality control there.
@ModerusPrime I did off camera. But all I had at the time was a older tube of it. It seemed okay and is probably better than the factory’s. But this does “give me a reason” to buy some better quality thermal paste and do a video comparing the before and after with everyone’s ideas so far.
i feel like it having 2 of those uh....cooling plates(?) was a design defect, as there really isn't a good reason for it to have 2, not without some kind of thermal material between them.
I honestly think it's stacked to try to have aluminum between the cpu and the bottom plate, but they would need atleast 2 more to have them make contact with each other. With just 2 there is still an air gap and I don't think that fan circulates the air near the cpu.
@@S-Technology sandwich plates appeared to create a gape from bottom and goal is to relaying aside cooling fan to dispersion the accumulative heat. agree, if passive cooling mod can be done to this little machine, it can be a master piece!
