this CPU run at really high wattage 😱 150watts, crazy, great video
This is the wrong sensor selected in the statistics tool, or some kind of error in the armory crate drivers. It shows the total CPU+GPU limit. The 5900HX has a 100w power limit.
This is a great video in terms of how to strip the Rog strix advantage edition, but i strongly agree with Dmario in terms of heat exchange the Ryzen 9 5900Hx max temp is 105 C Degrees not the issue rather the components around the chip and early death if you keep running at 97 C. These laptops need optomising to get the best results including turning off features in the Radeon software to drop the temps, putting the Turbo Mode power plan on plugged into 99%, using 1920x1080p instead of 2560x1440p, When these were shipped out in 2021 Asus shipped them with slow ram when plugged into an external monitor with slow ram the frame rates go up slightly, but with fast Ram by 27%, you could also turn off processor performance boost mode and make it run stock Ghz the drop in tems is enourmous, then you can also underclock each core!
I optimized it behind the scenes, but ran the tests on standard settings. With optimization, you can achieve temperatures of about ~80 degrees in games.
Good video, was wondering what would happen if I just applied thermal paste instead of the default liquid metal. Now I know, it's bad. Perhaps for your model the cooling is also bad, if you say you're getting the same temps with liquid metal. Hard to say, could be a poor application from factory (or not), worths another try imo. At least that was the case for me, after reapplying liquid metal my CPU went ( in cinebench ) from 97 C to 87 C ( this is max temp recorded ), after fans kicked in before it was staying at ~ 95 and afterwards ~ 83 C.
Liquid metal is not that hard to apply, but in your case, since I see you removed the protection covers (that foam), might be impossible now, not sure. Probably you still can as as far as I can see all the SMD components are covered. In my case a layer of foam which protected the SMD components broke when I took off the heatsink for the first time, so I had to apply some kind of nail polish ( TG Shield ) on those compoenents. So...what I'm trying to say, probably you're still good for liquid metal given those are covered.
Your GPU seems to also be throttleing slightly, not sure, at least on nvidia that temp means throttle...maybe on AMD is higher, not sure. Perhaps you can apply thermal paste on the GPU's VRMs. Or get a better thermal putty (upsiren or something), given thermal paste is hard to apply on those because it needs quite a thick layer.
The thing is, no matter how good a thermal paste is, it can't compete with liquid metal ever. The heat dissipation is so much better, at ~ 70-75 watts per meter kelvin, compared to probably a maximum of 15 on best thermal pastes. Especially, when the factory design included liquid metal. It's hard to say what Asus is thinking sometimes, instead of designing better cooling system, but it is what it is. Great video, hope you reconsider on the liquid metal, could be a fun one, especially since there are so many guides nowadays :D
I would not call this a bad result, read Reddit about this model, people from the store heat up to the same temperatures as on liquid metal
Get ghelper and undervolt CPU I got minus 19 on mine and change the fan curve on the GPU to come on at 50 degreesat 5200 speed to help with cooling and try limiting the CPU to 53w. I find that when running cinebench I throttle at 3.9ghz at 55w at 53w I get the same score but temps drop down to low 90s and then in normal gaming it's not constantly sitting at 96 degrees. I have to say yours looks like it's running hotter than usual though @@Replapt
Best results I’ve had at controlling temps and still having good performance is disabling the boost in the power management of windows.
Did you get any performance boost after changing the paste? Your CPU Still running at 90 - 96 C have you tried undervolting?
I lowered the CPU's tdp behind the scenes, after which the temperatures dropped to 80 degrees
Hello sir love your videos, i want to ask a quick question. Is it worth it to change from liquod metal to grizzly thermal paste?
Hi, if your laptop is out of warranty and the temperatures are high, then this can be done, especially if you are not sure that you can apply liquid metal correctly. At the same time, I would reduce the processor power if possible, a lot depends on the laptop model. I'm just showing one of the possible options.
@@Replapt thanks for the answer. Anyways i dont really now if my device has temperature issues or not because i dont monitor it that often. But i do have one problem, the problem is everytime i open this app called Microsoft Flight Simulator, my rog strix AE usually restarts whenever i load in the game. Does this issue had any cause by temperature ?
@@zefroy3297 Maybe. If the laptop is more than 2 years old, it may turn off due to overheating when starting a game. You need to clean dust and change thermal paste once a year.
Hi, really nice video. I was just wondering what the blue tray with the little sections you put the laptop on was? I assumed IFixIt was the brand for all the tools and what not. But I couldn't find that tray specifically.

Good job man
I have LT-100 liquid metal applied on gpu and cpu and temps never go above 80 on gpu (usually its 70-77 degrees) and 85-90 at cpu while using laird as thermal putty for vrm and vrams so I think normal paste for this laptop isnt a good option.
This is not an ordinary paste, but one of the best in the world with 14.2 W/mk. With a slight decrease in the thermal package, the GPU and CPU temperatures will be the same as yours. Even in the original performance, liquid metal often gets onto the board, which leads to fatal consequences. Also, liquid metal means that you will not change it for about 3 years, but after a year the fans will become clogged with dust and you will not be able to remove them separately and clean them from dust.
@Replapt You are wrong, you can remove fans separately and clean them without any issue, you dont need to remove whole heatsink to remove fans also thermal paste isnt always best idea for laptop, they used liquid metal for a reason u wont get better thermals with that thermal grizzly paste compare to liquid metal or even ptm 7950 from honeywell and with those temperatures it will get dry pretty quick so things will get only worse.
@@Als-vd5vd Fans in this particular laptop can not be removed without removing the whole heatsink. For me, all the advantages of liquid metal are offset by its disadvantages in the form of leakage onto the motherboard, even with factory application this is a fairly common case. I am ready to sacrifice processor power, which is excessive here, in order to achieve optimal temperatures, no higher than yours on the press, rather than bear the risks associated with applying the press. The video card in this laptop is quite enough for Thermal Grizzly, and all the processor power is not needed for it to work at 100%
@@Replapt I have this laptop and I can remove fans without removing heatsink so that's interesting :D After disconnecting power cable from fans u need to pull them down a bit and u can take them off.
@@Als-vd5vd Perhaps this is not critical for me, just like the temperature. In the video I showed a laptop with stock settings, it is not a problem for me to configure it so that it drops to 80-90 degrees with minimal loss of performance. For example, no one writes to Masbook owners that their laptops overheat up to 100 degrees;)
Dont interchange the screws
Short screw for the lower part only
Just stumbled on this. I have read the comments.
On no occasion should you compare liquid metal with thermal paste
Honeywell PTM7950 >>>> Traditional thermal pastes
no, difference within the margin of error, for example, thermal paste is more suitable for the processor
@@Replapt in the beginning sure but these traditional pastes have a higher tendency to pump out than honeywell because they're direct dies. Honeywell also lasts longer than traditional pastes. There's a reason why Lenovo's whole lineup uses them
I have the rog strix g15 g513rc, can I follow the same procedure.
Also tell which thermal pads you used.
Hi, I used K5 PRO, but also can be used, UPSIREN U6 PRO
Brother I have this laptop for 6 months now and love it. Is it worth doing the pasting ? I heard it can ruin the unit and make it a hit or miss with gaining performance? I’m confused on this top.
It'll be reasonable to perform when the warranty ends (after 1.5 years). You can eather change a thermal paste or try to mess with a liquid metal ;)
Not true the worst thing you can do is use liquid metal
i am new to this but could you explain what is the difference between the thermal paste and the one you used on the thermal pads.. and why cant we use the same thermal paste for both cpu and thermal pads
different viscosities, thermal paste for the processor and GPU, and liquid thermal pads for other components, due to different viscosities they are not interchangeable
To save people having to repaste unneeded the fans come out. ua-cam.com/video/oztRbn0EA1s/v-deo.html Fans come out with screws and a little wiggle and slide to front of case. Liquid metal could have been fixed up with a q-tip or switched to ptm 7950 for equally good results. Kryonaut is not recommended. It is meant for lower temps and higher mounting pressure. you will have to regularly repaste. Viscous thermal paste is recommended for laptops like PCM-1, Noctua NT-H1, NT-H2, SYY 157, Gelid GC-Extreme, coolermaster maker gel . they are good at lower mounting pressure and resist the pump out effect
Thermal grizzly gives excellent results, I myself played on this laptop for 2 months, reducing the processor power per watt, which is what causes overheating in this model.
have u tried honeywell ptm7950 for cpu and gpu? and thermal putty for vrm and vram?
thermal putty for vrm and vram - k5 pro
I am having normal g15 with ryzen 7 6800h with 3050 4gb, can i swap entire motherboard containing cpu+gpu of advantage edition along with display(if needed).
only, if with the same parameters, the radiators are not universal, like the top case, which very often has a difference. This laptop has a vapor chamber, 99% of your model does not have one
Is it better to use the K5 pro or use the artic thermal pads of 1.5mm and 0.5 mm?
It is better to use liquid thermal pads, this reduces the probability of poor clamping of the GPU and CPU to zero
@@Replapt You the link to the thermal pads you use?
@@anderlopez9525 the link is in the video description
I dont seet, theres only the thermal paste thermal grizzlie and the tools
@@anderlopez9525 amzn.to/4bh6jqp Sorry, I thought you asked about thermal paste.
Am I missing something here? I dont own this laptop. But I decided to try it out when it released a couple yrs ago. And I could swear that Asus used Liq Metal on it. There are atleast a dozen g15 advantage edition repasted videos on here?
Initially, the laptop got into a bad service, where when cleaning from dust, liquid metal was replaced with cheap thermal paste. Of course, it began to overheat, so he got to me. I replaced the bad thermal paste with a better if not the best one😉
@@Replapt ahhh I see. Nice work
you gloss over the screws needed to remove - annoying
cpu and gpu are going above 90C how is that good ? you have to replace the thermal paste with liquid metal again
It heats up just the same with liquid metal, look at the reviews.
@@Replapt Amazingly good My asus scar 16 cyberpunk 2077 i9 13980hx max wattage 104 92and cpu 95°C 97°C my laptop liquid metal, your laptop 160 148watt soo great
What brand of liquid thermal pads do you put. Or anybody knows?
k5 pro or laird
What brand of liquid thermal pads do you use?
hi, k5 pro or laird
What you apply on Vrams
hi, k5 pro
@@Replapt in my country K5 Pro Noot available in the market, please Suggest me another alternative
Is there any good reason for someone to have messed with the original liquid metal in the first place on a laptop like this?
On super rare occasion the LM application is bad and will require it to be redone, in a perfect world liquid metal is what you want, if you lack the skill to apply it then ptm9750 is right behind it, both are more effective than kryo extreme.
Dust in fans, as well as degradation of liquid metal
@@slowfkn808 kryo extreme performs better on processors, and for GPUs the ptm9750 has an insignificant advantage and is within the error range
@@Replapt liquid metal doesnt degrade but problem with g15 was that a liquid metal from fabric was pretty messy so best thing was to repaste it anyway with another liquid metal or ptm
I've repasted mine with GC4 thermal paste + new thermal pads, and got the temps down 10°.
Not sure why Asus did a subpar job on pasting.
Followed this to the letter, now my GPU is dead
Most likely you made some kind of mistake or liquid metal got on the board. I'm sorry that you were unable to service your laptop using my video.
