    MY GUIDE: As an Ex-Repairman (telecoms)
    Who's this for?
    Those who love research, instruction, and knowledge before working on things. Anti-stressers.
    Thank you to uploader as well, video gave good info. Do this at your own discretion. MY MODEL: Oct 2019 i5 RTX2060.

    Task: Easy to Medium difficulty. CPU was up to 92 degrees (turbo) before repasting, now down to 75 max. 69 Degrees average. Insane.
    This requires:
    - 2 (or 1) Phillips Head screwdrivers. (Smaller one for laptop base, slightly larger tip for internals),
    - Alcohol swabs 70% IPA (I don't suggest cottonballs or anything that has excessive lint),
    - Q-tips (get a bunch),
    - Thermal paste (I used the MX-4),
    Makes it easier:
    - Precision tweezers (for electronics, anti-static)
    - Tray of some sort (to separate screws)
    - Lint free napkins (for hands)
    - Flat non-messy table surface of course
    - Plastic spudgers
    Tips:
    - These Alcohol Swabs won't cause sparks or increase flammability, if completely dry.
    - Always unplug power source (see vid), and discharge any static from hands.
    - Never use non-matching screwdrivers, they will strip the screw, causing an abnormal bore shape on the head.
    - You do not need to necessarily use alcohol, I found that the Q-Tips work well on the paste by itself, if paste is still soft.
    - Keep your screws well organized, it saves lives (...of devices).
    - Use the metal frame of the laptop whenever you need something to press/hold onto while applying pressure to components.
    - No component requires heavy force to remove, or else you will break it.
    - Screws can be tight, but never use excessive force.
    INSTRUCTIONS:
    1) ** Position the laptop with rear vents facing you, and laptop bottom up.
    2) Unscrew all the black screws from the bottom cover, place them aside together (10 screws)
    3) Open cover by gently pushing the corner of the rear vents, away from the plastic cover. Slowly make your way around the cover by lifting with spudger or hands.
    4) With the cover aside, observe the numbers beside the screws surrounding the fan and cooling pipes (see vid). You may find that keeping track of the screws along with the numbers make it easier.
    5) Unplug power source (duh. See vid)
    6) There are a total of 4 different screw sizes during the disassembly, place them in groups.
    7) Release all the black fibrous, fixture tapes that are attached to the fan piece and pipes, but unplug components first. I used the spudgers or tweezers for this, since it keeps the adhesive working.
    8) On your right side, you will find two antennae cables, connected to the "Killer" wifi card. A black and white one, unplug those by gently lifting straight up, grasping the metal tip only.
    9) On the left side, there is a thicker black cable, this is the power cable for the fan, release this by lifting the black REFLECTIVE tape as if peeling it (right on top of the connection).
    10) There is a smaller white connector, just to the right of the power connection, disconnect by gently tugging it out.
    11) Back on your right side, there should be a curled cable, I kept this on, but merely lifted the black fixture tape gently.
    12) Your fan piece should be free to flip upside down, starting from the bottom (but not completely remove). Simply move the thick cable on the left and the two antennae cables on the right through the pipe holes positioned on the bottom.
    13) Now that your cables are not attached to the motherboard, and are separate from the fan piece, flip the fan/pipe bottom slowly, revealing the GPU and CPU along with the thermal pads and old thermal paste underneath it.
    14) Clean CPU/GPU and parallel components of paste using IPA 70% wipes, or simply using the Q-Tips. If a little of the old paste gets on the motherboard, it is fine. Try to clean the area well, since it may jam the fans.
    15) Apply new paste, thicker in the center. Stop. Double check to see if you have missed or misplaced anything (thermal pads especially).
    16) Flip the pipes and fan piece back down now, aligning the screw holes and components to thermal pads/paste.
    17) Screw back on, remember that the smaller screws are generally in the middle of the fan/pipe, and the smallest ones near the mid-right area.
    18) Your second largest screws should be fitted along the border of the fan/pipe piece.
    19) Plug back components and power source, keeping in mind the way you unplugged them. Never force them in excessively.
    20) Wifi antennas are connected by: BLACK CABLE ON THE RIGHT, and WHITE CABLE ON THE LEFT (put back through pipe hole first of course)
    21) Plug back battery component, this will bring back power to the laptop, making sure not to force it in (it doesn't require much force).
    22) Screw back laptop bottom cover using black large screws.
    Hope this helped.

      @JL-ds1pi 4 роки тому +2

      ​@@yeebo2600 In my model, it included a few neon GREEN thermal pads in the following areas (it was already pre-applied), have a look at my link on: imgur.com/X0O2Dfm - The thermal pads are underneath the fan piece, and these were the places I remember, some may be located elsewhere too. Unfortunately I don't recall the thickness, but I suspect that they are about 1mm, since the gap isn't far.
      You can also freeze the above video at 2:40, you'll see a few of the thermal pads there. Bear in mind that in the video, some of his pads were stuck to the fan/pipe piece, so it's gone from the frame at 2:40. If you want to replace your pads, you can buy them online, cut and resize them, and make sure that they have contact with the fan/pipe, otherwise the thermal pads are of no use since they are meant to transfer heat.

    I just did this on my 2019 helios 300. Before trying this my gpu would hit 80 and my cpu would hit 95 degrees after playing RDR2 for 15min. Now after repasting, playing for about 20 min, my gpu stayed in the low 70s and cpu stayed in the mid 80s. and this is without turbo mode off. With turbo mode on I get another maybe 5-7 degrees lower to each. Not bad. I Would highly recommend. Easy to do , took me about 1 hour.

    I can promise you, the GPU memory is slowly getting fried, i have the same laptop and MX4 or any other low viscosity thermal paste is not enough for the 0.5 to 1mm gap in-between the heatsink and VRAM, i had to repaste 7 times before i perfected the VRAM thermal pad sizes.

    Lol the reason your temperatures are lower than average at the end of the video is because you limited your disabled turbo boost for your CPU or maybe you capped it at 2.45Ghz. Dont think i didn't notice that it stayed perfectly at 2492Mhz all the time. Usually it will go up to 3.4Mhz and above and fluctuate while gaming. So you capped it. 100% without a doubt.

      Yea in this case the CPU clock is lower but if u clean up your laptop remove all the dust blocking air circulation and replace the thermal compound with a high performance one the temps really do drop by 20 degrees I tried it myself the difference was huge as the old thermal paste was not that good also the dust was increasing heat due to airflow I do recommend changing the compound if anyone is not soo confident get it done by a professional and guide by JL step by step is awesome.

    I'd recommend not touching the pink paste since the other videos disassembly videos don't do it. Maybe I applied too little paste on the VRAMs, but I started getting artifacts and crashes after removing the pink paste despite having low GPU temps. Added some .5mm thermal pads on the VRAMs since the pink paste is gone, and now it runs fine. CPU used to hit 80 degrees in game now it doesn't go past 70.

I might go for Noctua Nt-h1/h2(3.5g-1040inr) over Arctic MX4(4g-1000inr-8.5w/m*k). Yes, Kryonaut is king right now but for just 2-3°C temp difference and for only 1gm I won't say it's a very good deal. But for super enthusiasts it won't actually matter and it all comes down to you if you prefer performance over price or price per gram and how many times a year you re-paste your cpu and if that 2-3°C actually makes a very big difference for you since it only starts thermal throttling over 86-88°C which can be easily countered with a tad cpu tweaking.

      he probbebly locked it to show better temps, i have a predator 500 triton but the cpu core clock depends on what settings you put at anyway :) low settings = more pressure for the cpu since more fps and high grapich settings put more work to the gpu, at least what i have learned. i repasted my Triton 500 many times becouse i wanted the best temps and i tried mx4 and kryonaut to see what where best, also tried liquid metal. when i repaste i slowly place the heatsink over and take all screws on, when i have all the screws on then i push the heatsink for gpu and cpu down then thighten them so the heatsink will flatten the cpu paste more even, works perfectly for me:) BUT be carefull when you try to take the heatsink up if you want to repaste, thats where the you can make a mistake like bending 1 heatsink, so slowly lift it up :)

      1mm and 1.5mm is the most suitable.

      Actually i plunged in and did it myself today. Its really easy. Unscrew the 11 case screws off the bottom, prise the bottom case apart from back to front using a plastic priser (start at the back exhausts). then lift off gently. The case slowly unclips back to front.
      The next job is to just unplug the battery (the connector is right next to it). (For safety reasons). Its important to do it one step at a time. you dont need to remove the fans unless you want to clean them.
      The gpu/cpu heat sink has many thermal pads and they all need replacing. clean off with alcohol and cotton buds. That is really the biggest step, they pasted them on so thick it was horrible when i took the heatsink off. Then just replace the thermal pads with your own. (leave the spacers you cant miss them).
      Then add two pea sized dollops of thermal compound (whichever you use) onto the gpu/cpu and then place heatsink back slowly and screw down gently and evenly. (dont overtighten). The wifi cable may or may not be taped to the cpu/gpu heatsink so watch as you remove it slowly.
      The 2021 version has a better heatsink and guide for the thermal pads than the previous years models. The heatsink is identical but there is a aluminium guide underneath that makes putting the pads on so much easier. It took me an hour but its more the original compound cleaning stage that was so fiddly. I got good results and I am a complete newb. The fan screws are silver, the gpu screws are black, there is one short screw for the gpu plate, you cant miss it. (this is based on the 2021 version).

Its actually pretty simple. Just dont rush it, its just a lot of pink goop to clean off. I have never done a laptop before, but knew these units were notorious for temp issues.
      I havent really noticed any issues after what two or three weeks since i put the pads and cpu compound on.

      Always use thermal pads for VRM, 0.5 mm on VRM of Helios 300 2019

      Shantanu Thakur Because thermal paste won't have enough contact with heatsink because the gap between VRM and heatsink is more.

    You added wat too much thermal compound to your components aswell, shouldnt effect anything though.

      too much is better than too little, yea it will be a mess but it evenly spread and shouldnt bother the perfomance tho
