Did this on my Core M3 earlier today, same passive cooling with a copper plate. Followed this video, but just went with a re-paste and a big old 1.5mm pad between the heatsink and the casing. Then went for a -70 undervolt on the cpu and -55 on the gpu (highest I could get to stay stable). Then moved up the TDP from 4.5W to 6W. A modest boost, but after everything is said and done I'm still at least 10-20 degrees lower on idle than I was when at 4.5 TDP. And light gaming has got an fps boost and still stays at 70 tops even while taxing the machine. Gotta say thanks to Chris for the videos, and replying himself on the forums with any questions I had.
Thermal pad and Thermal Grizzly already helps a little bit. My X6 pro is 35-40c idle and 90c during gaming, but will be doing the copper thermal mod in a few weeks.
Unfortunately you have to do fresh install from scratch. Surprisingly it will activate it on its own. I used Samsung 512 860EVO M.2 SATA . Forget nVME. There is no slot for it. Then copy a TEST directory from original HD on to new one, and run them individually, however Win10 Pro will install them all anyway. Good Luck to you.
Great video. I was able to reduce temperature about 10 degree of Celsius only with 2 mm thermal pad between case and copper heat sink. You was able to reduce about 20 degree of Celsius with additional copper heat sink. But I think 1 mm thickness is to mach and can damage die. Maybe 0.5 mm would be better?
It would have been better if you used thermal glue between the heatsink and the shim because thermal paste wont hold the shim in place indefinitely if you carry the laptop so its not safe.
Hey, nice mod, I think I will try this on my Teclast F5 and see how it goes. Btw Im thinking of upgrading the ssd, noticed the bios says something about nvme configuration, does that mean that it would work with a ngff 2242 nvme drive? Im looking at toshiba rc100, that would boost access times significantly if it works.
@@rozdede well i would like to game with a little more fps but just on normal use and when charging sometimes it gets really warm where the cpu is maybe i can use a mod like this to spread the heat over more
I just did this thermal mod on my f5 yesterday, tight fit but I could do it no problem. Tested GTAV and after 20 minutes temperatures went up to 60-65 degrees but not above. The back of the case was very warm obviously because it is now dissipating way more heat. It was a good mod.
@@Mario7p what about temperatures during normal operations like web browsing, video playback? It was hard to put the copper shin or it was like the video?
You could use all thermal pads if you can get some super high quality ones. I have access to thermal pads that have equivalent thermal conductivity to consumer grade thermal paste. Impressive stuff. And expensive.
Hey ! Thank you so much for he video, can you give us the reference of the piece you used for the mod ? I just bought an F7 plus for studying and play a bit (Minecraft and World of Warcraft) but it get warm very fast in game in fact.
I did the heatsink mod on my teclast F5 today, used noctua thermal paste, added a 15x15x1mm copper shim(it was kind of a tight fit, teclast f5 is different from this model, but I could screw back the case into place), then put some gelid solution thermal pads between heatsink and case. Also added thermal pads to the ram chips when I put the copper shim. Then I did the unlock to take off power limits and it seems to be working quite well, tried GTA V and I could get 20 fps stable at 1280x720, everything low, Im not actually gonna game on this, at least not big titles like that but Im sure with more tweaks and configs it could be very playable(gtaV). It never went above 60-64 degrees after 10-15 minutes, even tho the case was very warm to the touch below, where the cpu is. The only weird thing is that for some reason my uncore clock never reaches 700mhz as I think should be the max on uhd600, it sits at 666mhz, not even sure how I could get it to 700.
you used a 1mm thick shim, my question is have you ever used something less thicker than this? because there is a 0.1mm (thinest so far and scary as it can bend touching those resistors) version of copper shims and according to thermal conductivity the thinner/less thicker a material is the higher its rate of heat flow thus having a higher thermal conductivity.
I don't get Chinese. They already do machines that have no alternatives from other major manufacturers and they do A LOT of things right yet they refuse to add a piece of metal that will improve thermals SIGNIFICANTLY. What is the logic here?
To be fair, you could say the same for Apple's last year laptop. With the standard power limits the device won't overheat. For normal use noone should really disable power limits. You should praise them that you can though. Most vendors don't even allow unlocking power limits.
AFAIK it's because manufacturing process step count. Adding one sequence of "put piece of metal" requires additional SOP, workers, and obviously, cost. Manufacturers always tried find out reducing step count because it can cut manufacturing costs greatly. I think there are no invention about adding copper heatsink without additional step SOP, yet.
I have this laptop and it heats up easily whenever I casually play Valorant. It always say low fps so it becomes laggy and heated up in the middle of the game. If I do this, will my gameplay improve? I am not an expert when it comes to this so I hope I won't mess it up. 🙏
Right after receiving the Laptop I modified the CPU with 15mm copper plate and changed the Bios pertaining the CPU limit. Then I upgraded the M.2 Sata hard drive to 512Gb Samsung 860 EVO, followed by fresh install of Win10 Pro. Everything went very well except I have 1 driver issue which I can't seem to solve. ""PCI Data Acquisition and Signal Processing Controller"" which after exhausting research point to ""Intel Dynamic Platform and Thermal Framework Driver. I downloaded Intel newest ""inf" from their site but nothing seems to help. Can anyone help me PLEASE????????????????? Thank You
I have the Keyboard F7 Plus for a week and I already bought it thinking about making this change. I even removed all the screws, but I had a lot of difficulty removing the back panel, it looked like it was glued or something. I ended up being afraid to push too hard and gave up, I'll leave it up to do it in the future, in case of a temperature problem. My f7 plus model appears to be slightly different from the one shown in the video. I wonder if you had this difficulty removing the rear panel or if this is something of the new models that are coming out? Thank you and congratulations for the work!
Hello, I've got the same problem. I can't find this driver. And my keyboard seems to be broken (I don't know if is a driver problem). Some keys seems to be always pressed. Did you find a solution?
Hi, I have a problem with the Teclast F7 plus, before returning it I would like to know if someone has had the same thing. After a couple of weeks of use it happens that when I press the text on the machine starts but the display remains black, to solve the problem I have to connect the power cable. Can you help me?
Per i problemi di schermo nero su questo modello, ho letto che bisogna staccare del tutto la corrente per un po' (tramite apertura e distacco batteria) e poi ritentare: dovrebbe funzionare. Se avete dubbi, leggete quel che ho detto su google, dovreste trovare come e perché. Fatemi sapere se funziona, sono interessato ad acquistare il modello!
STATIC ELECTRICITY FEELING question: Hello guys :) While unscrewing the laptop, any static leak/contact spot to fix ??? (i haven't opened the case at all so far.) Description: I've received a gray F7plus device this week from Teclast official page in Aliexpress (manufactured jan 2019 - Pre-configured Win10 account set in March.). Everything seems opitimal no second-hand. ++HOWEVER, when plugin-in the charging cable, there is a light static feeling on the metal case (i suppose that's why the keyboard side is plastic). tkz xx
I think he some day mentioned he got the shims from Ebay. I get mine from aliexpress. Just look on either of those for "copper shim" . Thermal pads are sold by most pc hardware shops along with the paste.
Es excelente, pero la mía tiene un problema, no enciende aunque la batería esté bien cargada. La única forma de que encienda es conectado el cable de corriente y luego ya se puede desenchufar y usar con la batería.
"Lower Temps Up To 25 Degrees C" Seriously EVERYONE who bought this should do it anyways, that's a pretty significant margin regardless if you plan to game or not. At worst, it'll prolong the laptop's life for sure.
Those heatsink mods are always satisfying to watch.
my honest youtuber, keep it up you are doing a fantastic job
There were not enough videos about the modification of the cooling system. Thanks. It is always fun to watch.
Great review Chris, as always...
Thanks this mod fix my laptop. I had a lof of errors and blue screens. Easy and fun fix to do. 👍👍👍👍👍
Great glad to help and that it worked for you.
You can do an layer of nail polish as a isolation on those resister around cpu. This is a common method used on liquid metal CPU
Just did it on teclast f7 plus 3 best mod,really worth the try
You are the bomb Chris!! Love your videos. Although i probably wont buy any of the products, i watch all of them👊🏽
Hi sir. Juz buying tge teclast f7 pro. i try your method and its really work. Thanx for the video

Yey! Thank you Chris!
Please, a better description of the pieces you've used could be useful for novice. GOOD JOB!!
I recommend everyone to cover those smds on the cpu with tape or nail polish. Just for a peace of mind.
Sure. I don't because in my years of doing it never had an issue but you never know...
Thermal pad and Thermal Grizzly already helps a little bit. My X6 pro is 35-40c idle and 90c during gaming, but will be doing the copper thermal mod in a few weeks.
Did u modded with copper mods?
Makes me wonder why manufacturers dont do this, such a small cost increase with such huge benifit.
no reactions to this one, makes me wander too
Fire video
Amazing. Thanks for a tip.
I would pay extra if manufacturer made this job in fabric for every passive cooled devices like this notebook or some kind 2in1 tablet.
Genius
Thanks great vid :)
Great video mate, Could you do a video where you update the ssd? how can I transfer my windows to the new SSD in this teclast F7 PLUS

It's ok. Because the pressure on the shim is great enough to hold it in place.
Never had an issue been doing it for years and traveled to New Zealand and back with my Lapbook SE like this.
This mod made me wanna do it to my Mi notebook air 12.5 too lol
Audiology You can try liquid metal, but becarefull beacause if you apply it incorrectly, it can YEET your laptop.
@@nhansgoofyvideos7581 guess I better use normal thermal paste instead of liquid metal 😂
Hi, what budget laptops from China do you recommend right now? I need your expertise on this. Thanks.

It's in the bios but the system lacks the NVMe slot. It's only sata3 M.2 spec
@@Techtablets What is the length of the SSD and what's the highest storage size the laptop can accept?
Hi, where can I buy a keyboard for this notebook? Can't find it anywhere... Well done Teclast
First !! shall i try this with my f5 ? looks interesting
Do you play game or anything like video editing?
25 C lower is a big change, though? I mean even less hassle in future for any possible throttle.

this teclast f7 plus is a pain ... frequent BSOD with different event names , how to fix ? is it some setting in the BIOS/UEFI ?
Any idea how large the original thermal pad is? I was considering replacing the existing one with perhaps one of higher quality. :)
