- Looked into a new way to add water cooling to a laptop that is completely solder free! This build is 20-30*c lower on water cooling with NO fan sound at all. The build is simple, there is a hole cut in the bottom case cover for the water block and that allows the block to be held in place with good mounting pressure. All quick disconnects used are Koolance and the low profile 90* fittings are also Koolance.

![COOLING UPGRADE FOR LAPTOP 2.0 [NEW VERSION] (English/Español)](/img/n.gif)
A gaming laptop that can be used for gaming without headphones and without bothering anyone with fan noise👍
That's pretty much any laptop if you learn a little bit about how to optimize performance and power consumption, instead of letting everything run as is by default.
this is wild, came out really neat & good quality.
Thank you!
this temperatures are godlike for laptop, great job dude
What an impressive build, I’m so happy I got this recommended on my feed. Like and a sub!
Thank you! Im glad you took the time to check it out.
Props for the EGPU, looks awesome!
Thank you. That is just a radiator though, everything is just running on the laptop's 4090.
One of the best laptop water cooling I've seen
Thank you!
Great build ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you!
Made a similar project in university since at that time my laptop was overheating like crazy, but we never got to make it, it was too expensive it ended up being theorical with pictures and graphs (ish).
Good to see it's an actual viable way to cool down a laptop though is risky because of _w a t e r_
Nice Vid!
I feel you on the cost.. I made the mistake of not adding things up and getting most things over the span of a month. Didn't realize how out of hand it had gotten until someone asked to commission it.
Your Cat proofed it is Cool. So it is Cool. And very Cold. Nice Projekt!
They're always trying to make an appearance! They hate the mod though, no more hot exhaust to sit next to 🤣
@@sloreo8278 Höhöh :-)
Dude, that's nuts! I wouldn't dare try that with my Alienware M18!
YOLO 😤
coool bro very good job well done
Thank you!
Haha, you had so much fun! :-)
Oh absolutely! The shunt mod was even more fun.
There is 1 company that did essentially this. I can't remember which one it was. I thought it was an awesome idea. When "docked" at home, you plug in a couple of hoses and it was the same basic idea that you've done but leaving the laptop looking like a regular laptop. It just had the 2 plugins for the water cooling. I saw it on LTT channel I believe.
There are a few out there now that use a similar/the same chassis - XMG, Tonfang, Dream Machines, and Eluctronics. XMG has some new innovations with their heatsink design this year.
They all fall short of cooling the laptops as much as this. I believe it is from them using a 120mm rad instead of a 240mm but the Scar 16 screen beat my curiosity for them.
I was thinking of using an all in one loop for price and ease of assembly, similar to this,
Definitely easier than low temp solder, but less removable.
You could absolutely use an AIO but the cold plate on them is generally much thicker because it is where the pump is. Your best bet going that route would be a BeQuiet Pure loop because the pump is in line with the hoses, and not part of the water block.
I know some people who tried doing that with thermal pads instead of putty and didn't have as much success with the cooling though, and using putty with an AIO you'd need to leave room to twist it off, because once it is squished down pulling it might cause damage.
amazing
This should be the best performing 4090 and i9 on a laptop in the whole world.
Sadly, the CPU never will be because of Asus BIOS limitations (and it is a terrible bin honestly). The fastest RAM it can run is 5600 with no potential to overclock it. There is also no way to set an IMON slope to trick it to pull higher wattage. The GPU, however, will be getting a shunt mod in the next few weeks.
The setup is very great. I just want to know how do you supply power to those fan and pump? And how do you control the speed.
The power supply is a 12v variable psu from Amazon that has a dial to control power. The Phanteks T30s have a speed setting to cap the maximum fan speed so I can set them to stay silent while cranking up the pump or set them to full speed for benchmarks.
Hello
Can I use cold clams to cool water?
a
How did you mount the ram heatsink to the motherboard? Or you're just relying on the thermal paste & the pressure from the back panel?
The block is just mounted by the pressure of the bottom cover. The gap between the case and the heatsink is about 4mm and the cold plate is 4.2mm. Once it is fully installed it gives it a decent mounting pressure.
Why are external radiators so dang expensive!
Struggling to find the kit youre using on EKs website.
Sadly it wasn't a kit, just the CoolStream radiator and Quantum Kinetic Flt.
Wow, I also had the idea to watercooled my laptop too before. I still in brainstorming process tho, so thank you for the inspiration. Subbing.
thats awesome :O i wonder if i can do the same with my laptop. however my laptop has inverted motherboard :( gonna be a nightmare
There isn't any clearance with an inverted mobo sadly, unless you want a hole in the middle of your keyboard. I actually sold my Dell G15 a few years ago specifically to get a standard layout to water cool it.
@@sloreo8278 yea, guess am done for :/ thankfully switching to liquid metal did gave me a bit of advantage, but i cant reach my max clock speeds. Funny enough i tried putting my laptop near AC and my laptop ran at max 80-85 degrees Celsius and ran at max performance 🤣🤣i was hitting PL2 limit all the time on my CPU, thats 25 extra watts 👌👌
Is there a way you could help me out... A total noob to do this with my dell g15 5515 Ryzen edition?
This is not possible with the Dell G15 sadly. The Dell mounts the motherboard upside down so that the heat sink is actually between the motherboard and the keyboard. There is not space to do anything like this or like my other build on my MSI. That was actually the reason that I sold my Dell and got my GP 66 a few years ago, I wanted to water cool it and it wasn’t physically possible.
wowowowowo
Sorry man the red liquid that you use for the cooling system is electrical conductive? or not? if there is a waterdrop inside its risky or nothing will happens?
The coolant is absolutely conductive, it is similar to automotive coolant and is primarily water. I am not sure if there is a non conductive coolant out there other than thicker oils which are used for less common fully submerged builds. If the water block ever leaks, it will be a bad day for me lol.
@@sloreo8278 ahah so hope it will never happen 🙏
Is this possible on a Lenovo legion 5 slim 14?
It will work on any laptop that has a traditionally mounted heatsink, like your slim 14. The only ones I know of that wouldn't work are the Dell G series which have the motherboard inverted.
The only thing Im not sure of on ones other than mine would be the gap between the case cover and the heatsink. If it is too tight you might need to grind the cold plate some to not flex the bottom case cover too much, as I needed to do with the AMD block Im using on my most recent video.
If you want to go the extra mile you could 3d print a new bottom panel instead of chopping up the current one. Nevertheless it'a more revised than the one with the msi notebook.
If I had a bigger printer I would be much more inclined to go that route. The Scar does have some odd lines to it but that isn't anything some measurements wouldn't take care of. Having a 4 part bottom cover worried me though.
How are you powering this whole thing? The waterblock I mean.
Just a variable 12v power supply from amazon. Cut the barrel jack off and soldered a PWM and SATA jumper on. Totally missed adding it to the parts list in the description.

@@sloreo8278 Thanks. Amazing work btw. I'm going to do similar mod for my laptop but with 120mm setup instead, and fool around with M.2 water coolers since they're even slimmer in profile.
@@aj9156 I hope it goes well! Im trying a revision in a few days with a different water block that has some micro fins to see if it is any different, hoping it will improve by a few degrees. The slightly smaller SSD block should still be plenty to make a difference, but I did have concerns about how smooth they are when considering them.
Will this work for other laptops given the variation in mounting pressure?
I really lucked out with the Scar 16 having 4mm between the heatsink and the inside of the bottom case cover. Most laptops should have similar spacing but might need some sanding to make it so you aren't putting too much pressure on the CPU/GPU die.
Easiest way to measure is to use putty on the heatsink, put the cover on, then measure its squished height, it is how you measure clearance for bearings in an engine too.
Question: I have a vapor chamber heatsink laptop instead of tranditional heat pipes, (the asus rog advantage). Do you think it will work just the same if I put it on top of the gpu and cpu location,? Does sanding off the black paint from the vapor chamber neccessary before putting thermal putty?
@@giangle2849 A vapor chamber will work as well and has the potential to work better because you can get a larger water block and have a bigger surface area to cool. I would still center the cold plate over the CPU/GPU but realistically it shouldn't matter too much because of how the VC works.
I haven't sanded the paint for mine at all and don't think it would make a worthwhile difference.
@@sloreo8278 thank you!!! Attempting the same mod, hopefully it will turn out like yours!!
@@giangle2849 Hope it goes well! Check out A-Accessories for a spare bottom case cover. They have OEM Asus parts and have been great for me so far. That way you can have your stock cover for any warranty work or air travel.
How did you connect the fans to power?
The fans are powered by the variable PSU in the parts list under the description. I cut off the barrel connector and soldered in power for a PWM connector and a SATA connector for the fans and pump respectively.
@@sloreo8278 Ah thank you
@@sloreo8278 Also do you think you could improve performance even more using a cooling pad like the iets one?
@@rrrrrrrfffdfjhre The heart of this project is to run the laptop silently more than to cool it drastically more than stock, although it certainly does. With the laptop's own fans at 100%, the cooling is only improved by 1-2*, nothing substantial. The IETS might give it more kick, but at a certain point there is only so much head that the heatsink can dissipate. Realistically, this is a very inefficient way to cool the laptop as eventually the heatsink will be a bottleneck. By using the IETS you would more than likely hit that bottleneck for little gain while also going from nearly silent running to 60db of fan noise.
@@sloreo8278 That is very true. Do you have a discord server of some sort I could join?
amd tuner lore
The water stuff is not worth the anything involved (money, time, intellect used to devise).
Better get a mini ITX 10-11l case and you have much more performance with similar price paid and no effort put into it. And it can even be water cooled inside.
I was thinking of a similar thing, but aircooled.
You know like desktop GPUs have those massive 3 fan addon on the very small PCB, doing the same thing, taking a block of cooler fins with the fans and replacing the tiny ass laptop one for when you stay at home or go to a hotel or stuff like that. Would be like one of those cooler pads some people use (without any actual gain)
If that brings 15-20% increased performance, that is worth it.
Except you cant really take a mini itx with you to work or on the go (not to mention on a trip). The air cooling in this still works and it goes to work with me and on the go nearly every day.
