ALWAYS take the battery out when you've exposed the motherboard like this. You want as little electricitty flowing around the circuits as possible to prevent shorting components if you accidentally touch something.
nice video except for the drowning like audio of your recording that i had to max the volume to understand, then the sudden loud music of the fastforwarded scenes
All went good ! I removed battery at first and also got grounded . Then i followed numbers from 12 to 1 and removed all heat sink , cleaned dusts and aplied new thermal paste . Then i putted heat sink on and followed numbers from 1 to 12 to screw up all correctly . After all i inserted battery and pluged in the power cabel and all was good! Cpu and Gpu temperatures dropped from 90-93 to 60-65 .
Thanks a lot for the video. My 5 years old laptop could not run games anymore since its GPU reached 89°. I have not yet replaced the thermal paste (waiting for it to be shipped), but just cleaning out the dust in the fans helped getting under 80° when playing.
Brother, you saved my laptop. I was heartbroken because my trusty gaming laptop was dying (I thought). Temps constantly reaching 95-100 degrees while playing, and crashing mid game on me. I watched your vid last night. Went to the PC store this morning, spent $20 on tools and supplies, came home and spent an hour doing exactly what you did here. I do a half hour stress test on max settings, and my laptop is running 15-20 degrees cooler. No joke. Thanks so much!
Dude, this rocks - only drawback for me was you mentioned needing a "special clip" I scratched my head on that for a bit but finally figured out it was just the clips around the edges. Thanks! I do agree you should avoid the cheesy music but yours was the best example I have found.
You don't need to use a lot of thermal paste, as gaming laptops come with IHS attached to heatsink. Other than that, pretty useful video. My CPU fan broke down, so I'm in the process of replacing it.
I have a GE62-6QD and I'm glad to know that mine is similar enough to have a heatsink that comes off the same way as in this video...helped me figure out how I should pull it off safely. Thank you! For anyone else with this same heatsink, the block for the GPU is rigid enough you can lazily screw it in, but the smaller block for the CPU is easier to move around as it's purely suspended by the heatpipe so you'll probably want to do the olden-golden-days even tightening where you go top left corner, bottom right corner, bottom left corner, top right corner, little by little until you finish getting the CPU tightened down. It's a small amount of flex, but you're way less likely to fuck the dye up this way.
Thanks for the video. My MSi GE72 Apache Pro had started to get very hot when gaming reaching 92c and thermal throttling the CPU and GPU. I undertook the steps in your guide and replaced the thermal compound (I used Arctic Silver 5) and WOW!! what a difference its made. Temps don't go above 76c on both CPU and GPU now even after 2 hours of gaming. The work was a lot easier than I expected thanks to your help. I also discovered that replacing the battery is an easy task. I was worried if this ever needed doing that I would have to return it to MSi service which would cost a small fortune. I upgraded my 128gb SATA M.2 drive to a 256gb PCI-e NVME M.2 drive at the same time. It was fast before but now Windows 10 boots to desktop in 4 seconds!!
Many thanks to you, gameboy3800, and to Lewong as well for his additional advices. I just went through the procedure today and all went well. This was my first time opening up my laptop & applying thermal paste and I couldn't have done it without your video. I am exceedingly satisfied with the results. Most modern 3D games would no longer run on my 3.5 years-old laptop as the CPU would quickly reach 90C and throttle hard (even when running the fans at full speed). I applied Arctic Silver 5 to both the CPU (including integrated graphic card) and GPU, thinking that it would take a little while before seeing some improvement, as mentioned by you and Arctic 5 instructions. Lo and Behold, temperatures on the modern 3D games that would run up my CPU to 90C now only reach 70C, without even pressing the button to force the fans to 6000rpm. It literally rejuvenated my laptop on the spot. Not entirely surprising considering how little of the original paste remained on the chips. I suppose MSI's paste is good enough to last the two year warranty and then you need to replace it.
First thing you should have done was remove the battery screw and battery. I dissasembled this exact computer model. The heat sink and fans are labeled with numbers 1-12. You need to remove them in reverse order starting with number 12. The fans are actually numbered as well 1-4 I believe. You remove the heatsink this way to make sure you don't damage the motherboard or dies. When you put it back together you put them in in sequential order starting with number one. I watched you remove the heat sink and I know for a fact you didn't remove them in order because the cpu has numbers 6, 10, 11, 12. You removed the cpu screws diagonally which may have saved your laptop. You actually may have damaged your system and haven't realized it yet.
@@santiagomartinez8201 still dead ? When you remove the battery on msi laptop, you need to plug the charger in the laptop for the first start or it wont start.
Hey bro I wanted to say thank you for this step by step for thermal paste I just got my gaming msi laptop done as well without any issue you the best bro
I asked my friend to replace the thermal pace of my laptop (this model) and to install a new SSD while I was away. Turns out I only set it to sleep and he didn't check while working on it. Luckily the laptop survived and temps are way down. Also, a lot of old thermal paste was next to the CPU/GPU die, I guess they did a very sloppy job at the factory. Anway thermal throttling on the CPU was a nightmare before and now games run a lot smoother and the overall experience is better with the new SSD. I hope this laptop will serve me well for another 2 years or so.
Thanks for this video, it helped me understand what I need to do on my 1.5 year old model. One of its fans is making horrible noises, so it needs attention. I'm curious, what were the displays on the right side of the screen. I could see their titles as "CPU usage" and "GPU meter", but what software is that? Rainmeter or something else?
As someone who still uses this laptop in 2024, the overheating issue is far and away the worst thing about it and is something that still plagues me. The thermal paste must be replaced often as it will quickly degrade back into a glorified space heater unless you use the highest end pastes. This on top of the atrociously designed hinges that support themselves via a piece of hard metal that's directly connected to the paper-thin plastic shell, and it is a horrible experience that I am now looking to free myself from via finding an old thinkpad instead. The hinge issue can be worked around with duct tape and metal clips at least. The overheating never ends. The only saving grace of this laptop is that its performance is still great for today's standards, and can support modern OSs and software no problem.
Hey I'm about to do the same procedure with arctic MX-5 thermal paste. But I think I'll also put on some new thermal pads. Does anyone know which thickness they have? Some boards suggest it's 1.0mm but they're not completely sure. Did anyone measure? :)
Thanks for sharing what you know! Improving the lives of others. Making the world a better place. This video would be more useful if it were Redone: - with you pointing to Exactly what screws (and/or items you are unscrewing), before you took them out. You could use the screwdriver as a pointer. - if you could NOT Block the entire view of whatever it is we're supposed to be seeing/doing, with your hand and arm. Either swap positions of your hands (front/left hand on top; back/right hand on bottom -- where "front" means "closest to the camera"), ..or Move the Camera ! You have much knowledge. To teach, to share your knowledge effectively, however, it is essential to take on the position of the viewer's eyes and the viewer's mind, instead of your own. Essentially, always work from the learner's perspective or point of view and build the bridge to your own.
I had no problem following his video and took mine apart easier than I expected it to be. Once you get the bottom cover off its 4 screws for the CPU heatsink, 4 screws for the GPU heatsink and 2 screws on each fan. Its pretty obvious which screws to unscrew to remove the heatsink and fans assembly (remember to unplug the fan cables and then plug them back in again at the end. I would also advise disconnecting the battery after you get the cover off before attacking it with a screwdriver.
Please add a warning for sudden volume changes in video. I want to give this vid a thumbs up, but I can't, especially after being startled more than a few times while trying to screw/unscrew components while this was playing.
I had similar problem on a msi ghost fan replacement, the gpu screws were so tight i almost stripped them. I ended up needing to use a better screw driver that had a better grip / handle. A set i got from ace hardware did the trick.
I have msi 7rex, 80c degree on idle when thermopasta become rock solid... Before that it was 50c. Now I removed factory thermo pasta and reapplied mine. Now 40c idle temp, and i can put it on my legs, as it was hot as radiator to hold it with 80c...
Thanks for the tutorial. I have a msi gv62 and the insides look really similar to your laptop. I’m really new to PCs so even adding new thermal compound is a big job for me. I wanna try it out to get lower temps but am so worried about breaking something on the inside. I managed to change my screen and upgraded to a 120hz panel so if I could do that without damaging my machine maybe I can reapply new paste correctly.
Hello, nice video here! I need to replace keyboard on mine GE62, but have no idea how to do it. Can I remove motherboard by just disconnecting cables and unscrewing few screws? Do I have to remove heatsinks before?
great video ...i went ic diamond 7 thermal. maxed the ram out too. also i used artic clean q-tips and micro fiber cloth instead of tp & alcohol though. did u upgrade the bios and Ecu as well?
is this msi ge62vr 6rf?don't you need to remove the battery first before remove heatsink to prevent shortcut when thhe screwdriver touching it or the battery is not removable?
it depends on the exact model computer since msi used the ge62 name for multiple generations. ive seen both 3 and 4 pin fans on the coolers depending which generation machine they go to.
very informative video. but please normalize the sound. We (the listeners) turn up the speaker to listen to you, then the music kicks in and blows the speaker out and scares the shit out of the cat. Don't piss off people like that ;)
Ew you have a cat? That's disgusting. Anything that shits in a house and can't flush doesn't belong. Im assuming you're not Gaylord and haven't gained your cat jynxie to flush.
Hi great feed very informative. I have a question - do both fans turn on straight away on power up please? from the aerial shot you filmed the LHS one comes straight on but the RHS does not - is this a setting that you have to enable both fans please? TIA Dan
Hi I have repasted my laptop Just like you did. But the weird thing is that I'm getting weird cpu temp spikes. I have checked and rechecked everything but I can't seem to fix IT. Any tips?
did this help with the overheating of the cpu my laptop is about 5 years old and I have the same one you just took apart. my cpu Is jumping up to 90°C well that's core #1 while im gaming and im sure it can get hotter but I stop before it reaches over 95°C
hey man what fan is it at 9:05 on the top right i couldn't tell if its the cpu or gpu fan iv been looking for a replacement and id rather not spend 10x as much on a new heat sink please respond to me as soon as you're available thanks!
i think the cpu went from over 80c when gaming to around 68-72. gpu from 70c to 67c. it's been a long time since i had this laptop, so i cannot confirm, but the difference was substantial enough to hear the fans be not nearly as loud.
no worries dude i tried it myself and the temps were even worst (80 under full load before, to 85 under full load), after 1 month i took it to a computer expert (friend of mine who builds computers for a living and repairs laptops) and he repasted all my chips, only to have the same temps as stock (80c on full load again). Sometimes there's just nothing you can do.
Hello I'm having trouble taking off the back cover of this laptop. I took out the 15 screws of the back panel and I see in this video at 4:40 there are 3 screws under the DVD Drive. So I attempted to take those 3 screws out, but apparently I have no screwdrivers that fit the screw. So I was wondering what screwdriver did you use for that part so that I can buy it.
Could any fellow computer nerds help me out here?? :c So I've replaced the stock thermal paste to my MSI, same model, same everything. But I removed the three screws around my fans, instead of disconnecting the entire thing with the fans. I cleaned my fans, cleaned the vents and what-not but I never disconnected my fans completely from my laptop. My right fan, (GPU fan I think?) was making a lot of noise so I thought something maybe got caught inside it. (Never did find anything apparently wrong with it. but that's why I even opened it in the first place). When I cleaned up everything and put it back together it was immediately running cooler and smoother but my 2nd fan was still running loudly. After a couple days, the noise stopped happening and everything seemed to be running fine. It was fine for a couple months until about 2 days ago. The fan started sounding like a lawn mower again so I opened it up again and took a look. I turned it on while the back was off (very carefully), and pushed the 2nd fan button, just to see if I could figure out what was causing the fan to violently vibrate and give off the loud sounds it was. Cleaned out the fans again, and I couldn't find anything wrong with anything. I got this laptop, brand new, last December as a Birthday present to myself,... and now that I've opened up the back and everything the warranty is void. I just need help figuring out what I got to do to get the fan to run smoothly again. Would a fan need to be replaced on such a new laptop? And if it does, could someone help me figure out what kind of fan I would need to buy? There seems to be a difference between the two fans in this particular model. Sorry for the long post I was just trying to include any details that might make a difference in how to go about fixing this. This laptop is my baby, and I don't want to waste the time and money taking it to a professional and have them overcharge me for something that could be simple to fix?? Thanks for anybody who takes the time to read all of this. X. X
i'd remove the fan completely and clean the bearings out. then if that doesn't work, look up the part number on the fan and just buy a new one on ebay or some place. just the fan itself won't be expensive at all.
it's most likely the bearings and I'm pretty sure there is no easy way to them, so your better of replacing the entire fan, that's what I'll be doing soon enough, because my left fan is buzzing loudly too.
Just to clear up the misconception that you voided the warranty: according to some trails the customer has the right to open up the laptop, since it is a computer with interchangeable parts. You as a customer have the right to change this parts, and you have the right to maintane the laptop too, so that means to open it up. THEY have to prove something was wrong after YOU did something to it, not the other way around. In 99.99% of all cases the customer would win this situation in front of a trail, so they normaly don't try. Just send it in for a repair, and if they try to rip you off, or don`t want to fix it for free, threaten them with your lawyer.
I'm 2 years too late but I had the same problem. Every time I tilted the laptop I would hear the lawn mowing sound ahah. I was pretty sure something was stuck inside the fan and when I opened it I found out that one of the screws from the fans were not put in its place properly by the guys who assembled this babe and it came out lose and got caught up. I inspected the fan for damage but luckily there wasnt any so I put the screw and everything else back in its place and it worked.
Hey there, I got an MSI GE62 6QC Apache en I did exactly the same as you did (except I didnt use cleaning alcohol to get rid of the old paste, I also didnt clean the gaps surrounding the CPU). After I replugged everything back in, my laptop doesnt turn on anymore. Even when I plug in the adapter it doesn't power on. When I plug in the cable however, the led turns on from the battery indicator. What do I do? :/
Compressed air helped me! 95 degrees directly dropped down to 70 after I cleanded it from a dust! Just clean the back side airflow openings and cooller holes No need to unscrew or open the laptop! No damage to Warranty sticker! No need to change the compound if your computer 1-2 years old No Throtelling MSI GP62MVR 6RF
I have a $5,000.00 MSI dual gtx 1080 laptop. After replacing thermal paste the CPU ran 20c less under load and gpu's 17c under load. This allowed me to overclock significantly. If you live in the USA removing the warranty sticker doesn't void your warranty. We have right to repair/upgrade/modify laws that protect us. MSI will fix your computer if your warranty sticker is broken as long as there isn't any physical or water damage.
Wrong.Too much paste.1/3rd of that and spread evenly across die with cardboard spreader till mirror gone and then remove excess.IF YOU STEP ON BUG DOES IT SQUISH SQUARE??? 0@0
Hello Gameboy, tell me please, which material is the CPU heatsink made of? Is it aluminum? I am asking because I would like to replace the factory thermal compound with liquid metal, as my MSI GE72 2QC 215 Apache (CPU) is throttling up to 50 % under full load and it's GTX 960M hits up to 92 °C even after cleaning. GPU's heatsink looks like it's made of copper, so that's fine. Thank you very much, Sir!
yes. if you look at 17:53 timestamp there's a freshly cleaned cpu and gpu coldplate. gpu one is clearly copper colored. cpu one is grey. not sure if it's full aluminum or has a nickel coating, but it is best to be on the safe side.
Okay so MSI has replied and they say that the piece of metal touching the CPU is made of aluminum. Looks like I will use Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut for the CPU and TG Conductonaut for the GPU :)
Artic silver 5 is conductable. Also, never disconnect the power adapter from the laptop while it's plugged in. There's a light on the adapter for a reason, to show you that the current is completely discharged before you disconnect from the laptop. You are shorting your laptop every time you're doing that.
i've never had any issues with arctic silver shorting anything out. if you have, then you are using way too much paste to begin with. also i never did that with the power adapter. i just unplugged it from the laptop like normal.
Michael Lees I think you should take a course on electricity. Go ahead keep shorting your devices as you wonder why your components die off within a few years.
mtb_d4n The correct way to flush any power from a laptop is to remove the power adaptor then take out the battery, then press the power button to flush any power left in the system. As the MSi notebooks battery on the GE Apache series is fitted internally you have to remove the bottom cover first to take out the battery. Then flip it over and press the power button a few times with the mains power cable removed.
the other wires are the wifi wires, and i think they were attatched to the fan in some way. you may need to disconnect them from the wifi card in order to disconnect the fans. they can easily go back on the wifi card, so there shouldn't be any reason to worry about that.
How did you actually pry open the plastic cover after removing the screws? You didn't show that. I'm stuck at that part, it's really fixed up, I'm afraid I'll break it.
Cranky Pants did you ever get it open? I recently bought an msi laptop and found it to be a real pain to open. I added more ram and changed the screen on mine and it took longer to open the thing than it took to replace the screen.
My dad has this computer. At idle it sat around 65c and under load around 90c with throttling. After replacing the thermal paste with mx-4 it now sits around 40c idle and 74c under load. That was over a year ago. Put grizzly liquid metal in 2 months ago now it sits at 31c idle and 66c under load. That's a substantial gain but the Arctic MX-4 is plenty good enough. Tip: Watch wifi antenna and other cables when removing the heatsink on the right side upside down [left side facing up].
can someone provide a verdict? should i detach the battery upon disassembling or is it safe to replace the thermal paste without taking the battery out?
Hi Did the thermal paste replacement and now the PC boots up but the screen doesn't come on at all... The fans spin but not display ? Any suggestions ?
if you put a conductive thermal paste on both your gpu and cpu you could have put too much and that would cause it to overflow and touch pins on the motherboard causing it to short out your GPU. I would take it apart and apply a pea sized amount of thermal paste to your gpu and try again
I think it sucks how manufacturers purposefully mount the CPU to the motherboard, even in Gaming Laptops. Specifically built and designed for enthusiasts.
Hi! Do you know where I could order the silver screws ? They deformed a bit from tightening up. Also, do you know an app to modify the fan speed? Thank you so much! great vid.
Hey man I have the exact same laptop I spent 1300 dollars on msi ge62vr 6rf Apache pro gtx 1060 i7 6700 hq , I did exactly as you did but I grounded myself and I took the back battery out and discharge the power by holding power button I repasted my cpu and gpu with insignia thermal compound and reasembeled my laptop now it won’t power on with battery or the cable attached won’t even show the blue led lights on the front for it charging when power cable is attached any suggestions?
give everything a reseat; memory, battery hard drives, processor/gpu if they're not soldered down. also try plugging it in without the battery installed.
Hey! I'm really confused! My warranty still during but I wanna expand the memory RAM due to my work requirements, on the propertyes is said that this model have 4 RAM slot, is it real? I can't see on the video TT
Also, do you know how to put the spacebar on? I took mine off to get a chunk of chip out from under it, didn't break anything, but now I have no idea how to put it back on. It has a different scissor mechanism from ALL of the other keys on the keyboard. All in all I have probably tried to put it back on for about 8 hours. I AM AT MY LIMIT.
@@gameboy3800 I'm a linux user and thinking of getting the MSI GT63 gtx1080. You happen to know if Linux works fine on that machine? can I control fan speed and undervolt it? If it's too many questions skip one or two :) I just bought (and directly returned) an Acer predator helios 500 with Ryzen 7, in linux the charger wasn't recognized, and the performance was capped. Strange stuff...
@@uncannydeduction If you're still interested, on Linux there's no easy ways to control fan speed on laptops. There're some tools and scripts though, some of them seem to work for some laptops, but in general it's quite tricky stuff (just like everything in Linux actually, lol) and there's no guaranties that it will work for your machine. I have MSI GE62 7RE and I just gave up on fans control in Linux.
i don't know if you'll respond but you have a ge62 apache right? i have a ge62 2qc apache do you know if i can change my keyboard to a multicolor keyboard and if this is going to work?
Anyone here having issues with thermal throttling, the cpu goes up to 89C degrees on iddle and i cant even open the browser, i tried changing the thermal compound, cleaning the fans, but nothing works, any idea? mine is MSI GE72 2QD
i never used it extensively before i put the new paste on. but under load with the new paste it doesn't get above 80c. if you press the turbo fan button, it stays below 75c.
85c is still well below the 100c throttle limit. so i think something else is at play there. make sure nothing major is running in the background (system updates, etc), and also make sure it's free of viruses. also updating the nvidia drivers to the newest version might also help.
i recommend adwcleaner. its free, and gets rid of most issues. just give your system a scan every month or so. www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/
are the heatsinks made of copper or aluminum... i was looking to replace the thermal paste with liquid metal solution from Thermal Grizzly CONDUCTONAUT but it's not aluminium friendly. from the video the NVIDIA GPU seems to have copper heatsink but the intel cpu seems to be made of aluminium ? any one know if it could be replaced with copper somehow? thank you in advance
I just found out that this has the same procedure as the GE72, but the CPU fan just got loud and GPU fan is not spinning after doing the same things. I'm responsible for what happened, but can you please give me advice on what to do? Or is anyone has encountered the same problem?
I plugged it properly, just found out that I might messed up the fan's bearing while cleaning it, dunno why. I came up with the conclusiong the fact that fan is reaching its cover. Bought a CPU fan for 30usd for replacement.
can i ask did you have high temps before the fans went faulty, as my laptop is currently struggling with high temps and i have already cleaned it out Thanks
I understand that everybody has to start somewhere... But before you make any other videos, you need to stop dead in your tracks, put mommy and daddy's computer back together to the best of ?your?ability?, before they get home from work... Go get a job, save your money, and buy your own machine to take apart...
i thought the computer exploded at 27:30 🤣
same xDD
I screamed
I don't know about his computer, but my ears certainly did.
Lmaoo
I almost had heart attack
For those that attempt this in the future, don't forget to disassemble the fan assembly and clean out the dust that builds up in the cooling fins
ALWAYS take the battery out when you've exposed the motherboard like this. You want as little electricitty flowing around the circuits as possible to prevent shorting components if you accidentally touch something.
You can’t take those batteries out
sure you can , only one screw off and you're done
You can just unplug the battery from the motherboard.

You removed the cpu screws diagonally which may have saved your laptop. You actually may have damaged your system and haven't realized it yet.

Hey bro I wanted to say thank you for this step by step for thermal paste I just got my gaming msi laptop done as well without any issue you the best bro
I asked my friend to replace the thermal pace of my laptop (this model) and to install a new SSD while I was away.
Turns out I only set it to sleep and he didn't check while working on it.
Luckily the laptop survived and temps are way down. Also, a lot of old thermal paste was next to the CPU/GPU die,
I guess they did a very sloppy job at the factory. Anway thermal throttling on the CPU was a nightmare before and
now games run a lot smoother and the overall experience is better with the new SSD. I hope this laptop will serve me well for another 2 years or so.
This laptop of mine suffers from serious thermal throttling. Might try this guide soon, trying to get into working with PCs.
Thanks for this video, I'm currently looking into doing the same for my laptop. It's very informative and clear.
Hinge went on my MSI Apache Pro - any recommendations. thanks for the VID need to do my thermal paste but need to fix hinge
Thanks for this video, it helped me understand what I need to do on my 1.5 year old model. One of its fans is making horrible noises, so it needs attention. I'm curious, what were the displays on the right side of the screen. I could see their titles as "CPU usage" and "GPU meter", but what software is that? Rainmeter or something else?
what kind of screwdriver did u use to remove these three screws that are underneath the optical drive?? thanks for the video!!
a very tiny phillips
I just use a sharp knife for those screws, lol.
As someone who still uses this laptop in 2024, the overheating issue is far and away the worst thing about it and is something that still plagues me. The thermal paste must be replaced often as it will quickly degrade back into a glorified space heater unless you use the highest end pastes. This on top of the atrociously designed hinges that support themselves via a piece of hard metal that's directly connected to the paper-thin plastic shell, and it is a horrible experience that I am now looking to free myself from via finding an old thinkpad instead. The hinge issue can be worked around with duct tape and metal clips at least. The overheating never ends.
The only saving grace of this laptop is that its performance is still great for today's standards, and can support modern OSs and software no problem.
Hey I'm about to do the same procedure with arctic MX-5 thermal paste. But I think I'll also put on some new thermal pads. Does anyone know which thickness they have? Some boards suggest it's 1.0mm but they're not completely sure. Did anyone measure? :)

This video would be more useful if it were Redone:
- with you pointing to Exactly what screws (and/or items you are unscrewing), before you took them out.
You could use the screwdriver as a pointer.
- if you could NOT Block the entire view of whatever it is we're supposed to be seeing/doing, with your hand and arm.
Either swap positions of your hands (front/left hand on top; back/right hand on bottom -- where "front" means "closest to the camera"),
..or Move the Camera !

I had no problem following his video and took mine apart easier than I expected it to be. Once you get the bottom cover off its 4 screws for the CPU heatsink, 4 screws for the GPU heatsink and 2 screws on each fan. Its pretty obvious which screws to unscrew to remove the heatsink and fans assembly (remember to unplug the fan cables and then plug them back in again at the end. I would also advise disconnecting the battery after you get the cover off before attacking it with a screwdriver.
Which screwdrivers do I need?
Please add a warning for sudden volume changes in video. I want to give this vid a thumbs up, but I can't, especially after being startled more than a few times while trying to screw/unscrew components while this was playing.
well dont be a pussy ass bitch, problem solved
The screws around the gpu and cpu are super hard for me to unscrew for some reason dies anyone have any tips?
I had similar problem on a msi ghost fan replacement, the gpu screws were so tight i almost stripped them. I ended up needing to use a better screw driver that had a better grip / handle. A set i got from ace hardware did the trick.
I have msi 7rex, 80c degree on idle when thermopasta become rock solid... Before that it was 50c. Now I removed factory thermo pasta and reapplied mine. Now 40c idle temp, and i can put it on my legs, as it was hot as radiator to hold it with 80c...
How much lower did you get your temps and how much more quiet is it?
Thanks for the tutorial. I have a msi gv62 and the insides look really similar to your laptop. I’m really new to PCs so even adding new thermal compound is a big job for me. I wanna try it out to get lower temps but am so worried about breaking something on the inside. I managed to change my screen and upgraded to a 120hz panel so if I could do that without damaging my machine maybe I can reapply new paste correctly.
How did it go, and form where did you order your screen?
I too have the same laptop and facing some serious heating issues.
Hello, nice video here! I need to replace keyboard on mine GE62, but have no idea how to do it. Can I remove motherboard by just disconnecting cables and unscrewing few screws? Do I have to remove heatsinks before?
great video ...i went ic diamond 7 thermal. maxed the ram out too. also i used artic clean q-tips and micro fiber cloth instead of tp & alcohol though. did u upgrade the bios and Ecu as well?
at the time of recording it was running the most recent bios.
Thanks... I updated those before the upgrade. just to see if would be better or worse, no change reely until after. Appreciate tha reply
is this msi ge62vr 6rf?don't you need to remove the battery first before remove heatsink to prevent shortcut when thhe screwdriver touching it or the battery is not removable?
Hi I see you token out the heatsink. Can you tell me what part number is on the fan? We have also the same problem.. Thanks
Hi guys
I have question, How many pins does msi ge 62 fans have ? Is it 3 pin fan or 4 pin fan ?
Thanks for you video man 🌹
it depends on the exact model computer since msi used the ge62 name for multiple generations. ive seen both 3 and 4 pin fans on the coolers depending which generation machine they go to.
very informative video. but please normalize the sound. We (the listeners) turn up the speaker to listen to you, then the music kicks in and blows the speaker out and scares the shit out of the cat.
Don't piss off people like that ;)
Ew you have a cat? That's disgusting. Anything that shits in a house and can't flush doesn't belong. Im assuming you're not Gaylord and haven't gained your cat jynxie to flush.
Hi great feed very informative. I have a question - do both fans turn on straight away on power up please? from the aerial shot you filmed the LHS one comes straight on but the RHS does not - is this a setting that you have to enable both fans please? TIA Dan
The left most button in the power button row enabls the right hand side fan, it doesn't power up automatically.
You could install Windows 10. I have the same laptop. Mine boots up in 4 seconds to the main windows screen.
Hi I have repasted my laptop Just like you did. But the weird thing is that I'm getting weird cpu temp spikes. I have checked and rechecked everything but I can't seem to fix IT. Any tips?
Nice video thanks! I have the same computer, and wondering how much better temp you got? Mine also idles at 50/55C and feels it's a bit high.
Anything above 90 causes underclocking. Anything below that should be fine.
Hi is there any way to replace the cpu fan only.... Mine kinda making noising sound even after cleaning it
If there away need help ty
did this help with the overheating of the cpu my laptop is about 5 years old and I have the same one you just took apart. my cpu Is jumping up to 90°C well that's core #1 while im gaming and im sure it can get hotter but I stop before it reaches over 95°C
Which screwbits did u use for the unique DVD drive screws? M stuck with those screws
i dont know the specific bitsize, just that it was very small.
hey man what fan is it at 9:05 on the top right i couldn't tell if its the cpu or gpu fan iv been looking for a replacement and id rather not spend 10x as much on a new heat sink please respond to me as soon as you're available thanks!
can you report back? how much was the cpu/gpu temps before and after the fan cleaning and thermal paste replacement
i think the cpu went from over 80c when gaming to around 68-72. gpu from 70c to 67c. it's been a long time since i had this laptop, so i cannot confirm, but the difference was substantial enough to hear the fans be not nearly as loud.
no worries dude i tried it myself and the temps were even worst (80 under full load before, to 85 under full load), after 1 month i took it to a computer expert (friend of mine who builds computers for a living and repairs laptops) and he repasted all my chips, only to have the same temps as stock (80c on full load again). Sometimes there's just nothing you can do.
Hello I'm having trouble taking off the back cover of this laptop. I took out the 15 screws of the back panel and I see in this video at 4:40 there are 3 screws under the DVD Drive. So I attempted to take those 3 screws out, but apparently I have no screwdrivers that fit the screw. So I was wondering what screwdriver did you use for that part so that I can buy it.
I just used a very small Philips head to get those out. they are annoying.
I just upgrade my ram, m.3, and HD to a SSD. What kind of terminal paste did you use and how much less heat on average
Could any fellow computer nerds help me out here?? :c
So I've replaced the stock thermal paste to my MSI, same model, same everything. But I removed the three screws around my fans, instead of disconnecting the entire thing with the fans. I cleaned my fans, cleaned the vents and what-not but I never disconnected my fans completely from my laptop.
My right fan, (GPU fan I think?) was making a lot of noise so I thought something maybe got caught inside it. (Never did find anything apparently wrong with it. but that's why I even opened it in the first place). When I cleaned up everything and put it back together it was immediately running cooler and smoother but my 2nd fan was still running loudly. After a couple days, the noise stopped happening and everything seemed to be running fine. It was fine for a couple months until about 2 days ago. The fan started sounding like a lawn mower again so I opened it up again and took a look. I turned it on while the back was off (very carefully), and pushed the 2nd fan button, just to see if I could figure out what was causing the fan to violently vibrate and give off the loud sounds it was.
Cleaned out the fans again, and I couldn't find anything wrong with anything. I got this laptop, brand new, last December as a Birthday present to myself,... and now that I've opened up the back and everything the warranty is void. I just need help figuring out what I got to do to get the fan to run smoothly again. Would a fan need to be replaced on such a new laptop? And if it does, could someone help me figure out what kind of fan I would need to buy? There seems to be a difference between the two fans in this particular model.
Sorry for the long post I was just trying to include any details that might make a difference in how to go about fixing this. This laptop is my baby, and I don't want to waste the time and money taking it to a professional and have them overcharge me for something that could be simple to fix??
Thanks for anybody who takes the time to read all of this. X. X
i'd remove the fan completely and clean the bearings out. then if that doesn't work, look up the part number on the fan and just buy a new one on ebay or some place. just the fan itself won't be expensive at all.
it's most likely the bearings and I'm pretty sure there is no easy way to them, so your better of replacing the entire fan, that's what I'll be doing soon enough, because my left fan is buzzing loudly too.
Sheridan Mcgowan both my fans buzzloudly
Just to clear up the misconception that you voided the warranty: according to some trails the customer has the right to open up the laptop, since it is a computer with interchangeable parts. You as a customer have the right to change this parts, and you have the right to maintane the laptop too, so that means to open it up. THEY have to prove something was wrong after YOU did something to it, not the other way around. In 99.99% of all cases the customer would win this situation in front of a trail, so they normaly don't try. Just send it in for a repair, and if they try to rip you off, or don`t want to fix it for free, threaten them with your lawyer.
I'm 2 years too late but I had the same problem. Every time I tilted the laptop I would hear the lawn mowing sound ahah. I was pretty sure something was stuck inside the fan and when I opened it I found out that one of the screws from the fans were not put in its place properly by the guys who assembled this babe and it came out lose and got caught up. I inspected the fan for damage but luckily there wasnt any so I put the screw and everything else back in its place and it worked.
Hey there, I got an MSI GE62 6QC Apache en I did exactly the same as you did (except I didnt use cleaning alcohol to get rid of the old paste, I also didnt clean the gaps surrounding the CPU). After I replugged everything back in, my laptop doesnt turn on anymore. Even when I plug in the adapter it doesn't power on. When I plug in the cable however, the led turns on from the battery indicator. What do I do? :/
Same happens to me, did you repair it?
awesome video.
are fans detachable or are they completely fixed onto the heatsink?
they may be attached by tape or very tiny screws. i don't remember.
Compressed air helped me!
95 degrees directly dropped down to 70 after I cleanded it from a dust!
Just clean the back side airflow openings and cooller holes
No need to unscrew or open the laptop!
No damage to Warranty sticker!
No need to change the compound if your computer 1-2 years old
No Throtelling
MSI GP62MVR 6RF
My system wasn't clogged with dust tho. It legit ran in the 80s doing nothing because of the trash thermal paste.
I have a $5,000.00 MSI dual gtx 1080 laptop. After replacing thermal paste the CPU ran 20c less under load and gpu's 17c under load. This allowed me to overclock significantly. If you live in the USA removing the warranty sticker doesn't void your warranty. We have right to repair/upgrade/modify laws that protect us. MSI will fix your computer if your warranty sticker is broken as long as there isn't any physical or water damage.
Wrong.Too much paste.1/3rd of that and spread evenly across die with cardboard spreader till mirror gone and then remove excess.IF YOU STEP ON BUG DOES IT SQUISH SQUARE??? 0@0
Hello Gameboy, tell me please, which material is the CPU heatsink made of? Is it aluminum? I am asking because I would like to replace the factory thermal compound with liquid metal, as my MSI GE72 2QC 215 Apache (CPU) is throttling up to 50 % under full load and it's GTX 960M hits up to 92 °C even after cleaning. GPU's heatsink looks like it's made of copper, so that's fine. Thank you very much, Sir!
the gpu cooling block is copper. it looks like the cpu one might be aluminum.
gameboy3800 Thanks for answer! Looks like I will have to use Arctic MX-2 for the CPU.
yes. if you look at 17:53 timestamp there's a freshly cleaned cpu and gpu coldplate. gpu one is clearly copper colored. cpu one is grey. not sure if it's full aluminum or has a nickel coating, but it is best to be on the safe side.
I have asked MSI's support team so hopefully we will get that question answered by the pros :)
Okay so MSI has replied and they say that the piece of metal touching the CPU is made of aluminum. Looks like I will use Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut for the CPU and TG Conductonaut for the GPU :)
Artic silver 5 is conductable. Also, never disconnect the power adapter from the laptop while it's plugged in. There's a light on the adapter for a reason, to show you that the current is completely discharged before you disconnect from the laptop. You are shorting your laptop every time you're doing that.
i've never had any issues with arctic silver shorting anything out. if you have, then you are using way too much paste to begin with. also i never did that with the power adapter. i just unplugged it from the laptop like normal.
Please don't spread information if you have no idea what you're talking about. Unplug your laptop whatever way you want, it doesn't matter.
Michael Lees I think you should take a course on electricity. Go ahead keep shorting your devices as you wonder why your components die off within a few years.
mtb_d4n The correct way to flush any power from a laptop is to remove the power adaptor then take out the battery, then press the power button to flush any power left in the system. As the MSi notebooks battery on the GE Apache series is fitted internally you have to remove the bottom cover first to take out the battery. Then flip it over and press the power button a few times with the mains power cable removed.
Guys the GPU heatsink is that nickel or aluminium?
Is MSI Gaming GE62 6QC(Apache)-095CZ ?
At the right fan there are lots of cables which confuses me. At the right fan do i have to disconnect anything except fan itself?
the other wires are the wifi wires, and i think they were attatched to the fan in some way. you may need to disconnect them from the wifi card in order to disconnect the fans. they can easily go back on the wifi card, so there shouldn't be any reason to worry about that.
Hello, thanks for the vid ! :) Can I ask you what your screwdriver is ?
Mine twisted in the Dvd/black screws without removing it at all :(
Thanks !
Should have took of the fan cover and clean the radiator fins. idk just a tip :p
Do you know if it is possible to put a better battery in one of these? I have one, and the battery is getting worse.
because it's completely internal, you can't get a physically larger one. so you would need to get a new one of the same model.
How did you actually pry open the plastic cover after removing the screws? You didn't show that. I'm stuck at that part, it's really fixed up, I'm afraid I'll break it.
you can use a credit card to help pry it up. its only held in by some clips once all the screws are out.
gameboy3800 Huh, ok, I'll give it a try. Thanks
Cranky Pants did you ever get it open? I recently bought an msi laptop and found it to be a real pain to open. I added more ram and changed the screen on mine and it took longer to open the thing than it took to replace the screen.
mine is pretty new, hits 88 degrees without stressing the cpu.. i do live in a hot climate, is that normal?
for stock thermal paste yes. i was getting similar temps. now with the new paste it only gets into the 80s under heavy load.
gameboy3800 no way a thermal paste would potentially reduce temperatures up to 30 degrees.
it does when msi cheaps out and puts pos goo instead of high quality compound.
gameboy3800 I hope I'm not gonna be needing that when I'll have my msi stealth pro.
My dad has this computer. At idle it sat around 65c and under load around 90c with throttling. After replacing the thermal paste with mx-4 it now sits around 40c idle and 74c under load. That was over a year ago. Put grizzly liquid metal in 2 months ago now it sits at 31c idle and 66c under load. That's a substantial gain but the Arctic MX-4 is plenty good enough. Tip: Watch wifi antenna and other cables when removing the heatsink on the right side upside down [left side facing up].
can someone provide a verdict? should i detach the battery upon disassembling or is it safe to replace the thermal paste without taking the battery out?
its best practice to make sure it doesnt accidentally turn on when disassembled
you don't spread the thermal paste that you put over the CPU and GPU? i saw a video a guy did it with a card
its not necessary. the heatsink mounting pressure is more than enough to evenly spread the paste.
@@gameboy3800 alright thanks
Hi
Did the thermal paste replacement and now the PC boots up but the screen doesn't come on at all... The fans spin but not display ? Any suggestions ?
if you put a conductive thermal paste on both your gpu and cpu you could have put too much and that would cause it to overflow and touch pins on the motherboard causing it to short out your GPU. I would take it apart and apply a pea sized amount of thermal paste to your gpu and try again
@@zach9767 ....I did the application right... I removed the ram n reinstalled n it booted ... not sure what that was about.
I think it sucks how manufacturers purposefully mount the CPU to the motherboard, even in Gaming Laptops. Specifically built and designed for enthusiasts.
Hi! Do you know where I could order the silver screws ? They deformed a bit from tightening up. Also, do you know an app to modify the fan speed? Thank you so much! great vid.

Hey man I have the exact same laptop I spent 1300 dollars on msi ge62vr 6rf Apache pro gtx 1060 i7 6700 hq , I did exactly as you did but I grounded myself and I took the back battery out and discharge the power by holding power button I repasted my cpu and gpu with insignia thermal compound and reasembeled my laptop now it won’t power on with battery or the cable attached won’t even show the blue led lights on the front for it charging when power cable is attached any suggestions?
give everything a reseat; memory, battery hard drives, processor/gpu if they're not soldered down. also try plugging it in without the battery installed.
Did you ever get this working again? Just replaced a fan and nothing. Thanks!
Did you repair it? Same happens to me
Hey! I'm really confused! My warranty still during but I wanna expand the memory RAM due to my work requirements, on the propertyes is said that this model have 4 RAM slot, is it real? I can't see on the video TT
it can hold up to 16gb of ddr3l memory.
Also, do you know how to put the spacebar on? I took mine off to get a chunk of chip out from under it, didn't break anything, but now I have no idea how to put it back on. It has a different scissor mechanism from ALL of the other keys on the keyboard. All in all I have probably tried to put it back on for about 8 hours.
I AM AT MY LIMIT.
if it doesn't simply click back after rocking it around a bit, then you may have to get a new keyboard.
just got done talking to MSI, if I can borrow a laptop I am going to send it to MSI under warranty to get it fixed.
Thank you. Your video was helpful..!! :)
are those 3 or 4 pin fans???
How necessary is it to repaste an MSI laptop when buying it. How big difference is it?
when using good paste like thermal grizzly i noticed my unit was significantly quieter. i am unsure if this still applies to the newest msi machines.
@@gameboy3800 I'm a linux user and thinking of getting the MSI GT63 gtx1080. You happen to know if Linux works fine on that machine? can I control fan speed and undervolt it? If it's too many questions skip one or two :)
I just bought (and directly returned) an Acer predator helios 500 with Ryzen 7, in linux the charger wasn't recognized, and the performance was capped. Strange stuff...
i'm not the person to ask about linux unfortunately.
@@uncannydeduction If you're still interested, on Linux there's no easy ways to control fan speed on laptops. There're some tools and scripts though, some of them seem to work for some laptops, but in general it's quite tricky stuff (just like everything in Linux actually, lol) and there's no guaranties that it will work for your machine. I have MSI GE62 7RE and I just gave up on fans control in Linux.
i don't know if you'll respond but you have a ge62 apache right? i have a ge62 2qc apache do you know if i can change my keyboard to a multicolor keyboard and if this is going to work?
it should automatically have the multicolor one already in. you might need to update your software.
but how ? and the website says that my model don't support the true color feature
oh wait. is your unit not the Apache Pro? that might be it. maybe only the Pro versions got the rgb steelseries keyboard.
no in fact only the 7th generation of intel core support the true color feature :/i'm only 5th so i can't but thank you for responding to me :)
ah ok. no problem.
its better to spread the thermal paste all over the cleaned chip surface
Anyone here having issues with thermal throttling, the cpu goes up to 89C degrees on iddle and i cant even open the browser, i tried changing the thermal compound, cleaning the fans, but nothing works, any idea? mine is MSI GE72 2QD
You can try some thermal grizzly liquid metal. Other than that msi is trash and there's nothing you can do
Thanks you so much... god bless u
how many degree do u get when pc was under load before and after thermal paste ?
i never used it extensively before i put the new paste on. but under load with the new paste it doesn't get above 80c. if you press the turbo fan button, it stays below 75c.
i have the same notebook, i get around 85c. Even in dota i have huge fps drops. Do u think that tempature is the reason for fps drops?
85c is still well below the 100c throttle limit. so i think something else is at play there. make sure nothing major is running in the background (system updates, etc), and also make sure it's free of viruses. also updating the nvidia drivers to the newest version might also help.
viruses cause this problem may be? i do not have a anti-virus program for 6 months xd what do u think bro, i subscribed u by the way
i recommend adwcleaner. its free, and gets rid of most issues. just give your system a scan every month or so.

are the heatsinks made of copper or aluminum... i was looking to replace the thermal paste with liquid metal solution from Thermal Grizzly CONDUCTONAUT but it's not aluminium friendly. from the video the NVIDIA GPU seems to have copper heatsink but the intel cpu seems to be made of aluminium ? any one know if it could be replaced with copper somehow?
thank you in advance
heatpipes themselves are copper. but the baseplate that screws down to the board might be aluminum. not sure though.
So do you use your metal thermal paste ?
@sc0rpomtl - Did you change the thermal paste and did you end up using the liquid metal?
Nice video thanks bro
same shit happend on me xD the laptop didnt start at first till i plugged it in
Thank you!
I can't take the fan connectors out!!!!
I just found out that this has the same procedure as the GE72, but the CPU fan just got loud and GPU fan is not spinning after doing the same things. I'm responsible for what happened, but can you please give me advice on what to do? Or is anyone has encountered the same problem?
Maybe you didn't plug in the fan properly?
I plugged it properly, just found out that I might messed up the fan's bearing while cleaning it, dunno why. I came up with the conclusiong the fact that fan is reaching its cover. Bought a CPU fan for 30usd for replacement.
As long as it works xD
My old Fan still works with a minimal rattling sound, but it went from 87c to 55c at High load, totally worth it. Hahahah.
can i ask did you have high temps before the fans went faulty, as my laptop is currently struggling with high temps and i have already cleaned it out Thanks
You should use proper tools when disasembling ur pc less risk of damaging or breaking clips
about to buy this laptop for 440$ you think thats a good deal??
it's not a bad deal if it's in nice shape and includes everything.
gameboy3800 got it last night and today morning cabbages out the thermal paste and cleaned out the fans since they were filled with dust bunnies.
gameboy3800 next up Ima get an SSD, but for now I'm happy with my purchase :D
nice job. check the fans often. small, dense heatsinks like this unit have are very easy to get dusty.
gameboy3800 yea they had a few dust Bonnie's on them
Is this the same for GE72 models?
i'm not sure.
gameboy3800 thanks for the fast reply. 😊
I have ge72, it's the same
Is the SSD slot in this laptop?
I have MSI GE62 2QL
Can you ubgrade graphics card?
nope. soldered.
Nice video but the music was way too loud.
How it is with windows 7 ?
it runs good and cool with any windows once you put on better thermal paste
gameboy3800 I mean is it possible loaf win 7 with iso ?
yes. if you have the right iso you can use the free microsoft 'Windows 7 USB DVD Download Tool' to load it onto any compatible flash drive.
İs it also compatible with kaby lake ?

Next time dont brake nothing and disconnect the fucking battery!
i wanted to see what capacity the battery was to see if it had lost any charge (i got it used). and nothing broke.
