hello i would just like to ask, i think my fan is not working properly, when i MAX it, the air is very strong in the side panels but both the back is nothing(gpu right side) while the left cpu side is barely a breeze(lower than a whistle air)? is this a problem?
Hey Daniel. Sounds like your rear exhaust fins needs a good cleaning. If the air is strong from the sides and less from the rear, it's most probably blocked. When last did you clean the inside of your laptop?
Hey bro, I was going through the tutorial on this video and noticed that I didn't buy any thermal pads. I was wondering if I can just use the thermal paste (kryonaut in this case) on the part where you used pads instead.
@@laisensei6984 Hey! I wouldn't recommend doing that. Regular thermal paste are low in viscosity and the gap between the chips and heatsink would not fill. Hence, there would not be any heat transferred, leading to high temps. If your thermal pads are still good, you can still use them and it's not necessary to replace. Or else replace with new one 🙂
@@MVNDRVX Well I pretty much skipped the thermal pads part and only put thermal paste on CPU and GPU. There isn't much obvious effect from that though. It only lowered my average temp by several degrees (in fact I'm not even sure if that's caused by the thermal paste or if that's actually due to me cleaning my fans).
thank you for the tutorial man, i cleaned and repasted my predator 300 using your method, saved me a lot of money buying all the things rather then giving it for servicing, keep it up
Hey man! Really nice job on the video. I was able to repaste my Predator Helios 300 2019 version (1660ti, 15.6in one) by using your video as a reference! Used exactly the same paste and pads as you. Once again, thanks for such a nice DIY video!

Thanks for watching. Glad you got to learn something new. You should open the fans and clean them since most of the dust will be stuck at the exhaust fins, which blocks the hot air from blowing out therefore causing thermal issues.

@@reubenfernandes5003 yes it did GPU temps were touching 91-93°C before and after repasting/thermal pads application it is at 74°C on 100% load and CPU was at 93-95°C now it is at 80-83°C, For GPU it is arround 19°C drop and for CPU it is approximately 10-12°C drop which is significant I would say and keep in mind I don't have AC in my room and room temperature was 25-28°C.
so satisfying to watch!.. a couple of days ago my gpu fan almost failed and I opened it up for cleaning (obv not as thoroughly as you, I'm kinda scared to open it up completely on my own), however it barely moves even when i try to rotate it manually.. I'd hope it didn't need replacing, as it's practically impossible for me to get new parts in the country where I live :'(

Great tutorial, thanks for taking us through it step by step. Did you by any chance see whether there's any difference to the CPU and GPU temps when you undervolt your machine or reduce your maximum processor power to less than 50pc?
Thank you 🙂 I have undervolted, reduced processor power, etc. It does help with thermals a little bit but takes a hit on performance. What's the point if you can't squeeze every juice out of the machine. Right? Lol
If you're struggling with high power usage and high temps, simply change the maximum state to 90%. The hit to performance is negligible but helps limit the CPU overperforming
@@BarkyTron Sure I can try my best to help you out. I see you've commented in two places, so I'll just reply under the other one cause it's easy to find incase anybody else has the same issue 🙂
Hi bro great job 👍 In your description you mentioned the thermal pad which consists of 20X67X0.5mm X3, 20X67X1.0mm X3, 20X67X1.5mm X3, Are these many pads required or less than this is enough. If you could remember please tell me how much thermal pad required in both area and thickness of it?
Hey! Did you repaste your laptop? If so what temperatures do you get after repasting? I'm planning on repasting my Helios 300 2019. It starts to thermal throttle at 85°c and can't play games for more than 10 mins.
Hello, excellent video! I am about to do maintenance on my notebook, the model is the predator PH315-53-77M4. The only difference is that the video card is rtx 2070. The only question is regarding the thermal pads that you used on the chips and the vram, in case my notebook does not have them and only has thermal paste, it is convenient to put a thermal pad on it. pads where it doesn't have?. I would appreciate your recommendations. Greetings from Argentina.
You must be having thermal grease on your chips and vram instead of pads. Just like what I had on my vram(pink thick paste). Yes you can use thermal pads instead.
@@MVNDRVX Thank you for the prompt response, do you know their name and the exact size of the screws that are from the heatsink? Why is there one that I can't remove and it's rounded a bit, so that when I can remove it, I'll change it for a new one? Any suggestions for removing it?
Was just playing Scavengers on my 15 inches Helios 300 2019 and the CPU temperatures were like 90-92. As our CPU is already undervolted would I think repasting is the last option! Thanks for the video mate
nah man it do be like that not unless you are living in cold climate but if you’re in tropical countries, its inevitable. Also have the same unit and im in ph thats why i hit 90+ the solution i did is downclock my cpu from 4.0ghz to 3.2 ghz doesnt really have impact on performance but has significant reduction in temps. also i tried playing in cold rooms and i noticed that i have really low temps even on high settings and overclocked. Its ur ambient temp that you should be blaming really. You would know when to repaste is when you’re hitting high temps even on idle.
No thermal pads? You're the second person telling me that... Would you be able to send me a picture on my Instagram? The link will be in the video description 🙂
I cleaned mine 10 days back and everything was fine till today. Since noon today the right fan has been making loud noise as if it's hitting on something while rotating
Thanks a lot! My fans were completly clogged and the factory paste and pads were quite dried up! Could manage to reduce my temperature while gaming starfield from 92°C with turbo to 82°C with normal fan speed! Holy Cow :)
Hey I appreciate the video! I have a few questions, thanks in advance! 1. What are the risks of doing the disassembly (short circuit/etc.) and how would you mitigate those risks? 2. I have a predator that hasn't been repasted for 2 years, do I must replace the thermal pads? Would it make that big of a difference if I don't replace it? 3. For the thermal pads (Amazon costs too much in terms of shipping) can you tell me whether this unbranded thermal pads is okay to use or not? Specifications: Blue Size Length x Width: 20 x 20 mm Thickness : 1.0 mm (Don't worry it has the 0.5 mm version as well) Thermal Conductivity : 3 Wm/k 4. I've heard that static electricity damage can happen. Is that a thing I should be worried about or is it ok? Do I need some special equipment? Thanks for the video once again! Liked and subscribed
You can make sure you're grounded during the process to make sure there's no risk of static electricity short circuit. These cases are rare though. In case you don't find a grounding device, just touch some metal to discharge. Thermal pads don't need to be replaced unless it's gone bad. Mine got flaky and was all over the motherboard so had to replace them. If at all you're replacing your thermal pads, I'd recommend you go for at least 6W/mK.
@@MVNDRVX Alright thanks for the info mate ❤️ A few more questions: 1. I haven't changed anything for more than 2 years, how long did you use your laptop before the stock thermal pads went bad and flaky? 2. I'm thinking about buying an antistatic mat and straps just to be safe ig. Is it worth it or is the risk of static electricity damage is very small? 3. If its not worth it how often should I touch metal to discharge? Every few minutes? Once before working?
I had to change it a year after buying my laptop. The risk is small but costly. If you're really unsure, I'd say you better go for the anti static equipments.
Hello, great vid! I just didn't understand how to plug these two cables of wifi at 26:43. Mine aren't plugging in, I don't know if I should pressure it more or something. Any tips? Thank you!

Hi@@MVNDRVX, could you enlighten me a bit please? I see you used KRYONAUT thermal paste. Are you satisfied with it? No corrosion problems with this paste? Have you seen a clear improvement with CPU and GPU temperatures before and after change? Thank you for your answers.
@@iconxmath8830 Hi. There are drops in temperature but there's a limit. You can't expect much from a laptop. If you want more better thermals, then i would suggest you go for liquid metal. Keep in mind, the procedure for applying liquid metal is a little different from applying regular thermal paste. It's not worth the hassle, I'd recommend you stick with kryonaut 🙂
Hey @ank1t it's very easy. Just use some tweezer to pull up on the wire connectors. Just make sure to be gentle with it. Or you could even unscrew the adapter itself and pull it out just like how you would to a ram or m.2 SSD 🙂 If you believe I was helpful enough, do subscribe to show some love & support 🙂❤️
@@ank1t54 if you just unplugged the wires, then just press it down in the connector. White wire on right side and black wire on the left, while the fans are away from you 🙂

Finally worked up the courage to repaste, just wanna thank you my guy for an incredible video guide. Its even more impressive that this was your first tech video you uploaded Hope you have an wonderful day
The thermal pads should only be replaced if they're dry and flaky like yours, right? Should I buy the pads in advance just to be sure, or it's okay to just do the repasting and change the pads later if I see they're in a bad situation? And would you recommend using those anti static gloves or some sort of anti static pad? Or something else to avoid static, if it's necessary. (I'm a little scared of damaging something) Also, this might be a little dumb on my part but bear with me, I saw you recommend in another comment something about applying the pads first, but not the paste yet, fix the heatsink back and after a while remove and check for contacts. I have two questions about this: should I screw the heatsink back on during this, or just place it? And what does a contact looks like, which pads it could be on, and what exactly to do in this case? (For what I could get, the 0.5mm pads go on the ones that had the pink stuff, and the 1.0mm go on the rest, right?) Thank you soooo much in advance, this video is pretty much a life saver for me right now, cause just the other day I was doing nothing and the CPU was in 81ºC and it really freaked me out, buy this is the first time I do something like this myself, the most I've done before was adding an extra SSD.
Before you do anything, remove the back cover to check on the thermal pads. If they are all over the place, it's better you get the pads and replace them along with the paste because once you remove the heatsink, you will have to repaste again so air gaps are eliminated. For static electricity, you could just touch some metal to discharge yourself every now and then. Checking for contacts meaning to look if imprints have formed. In that way we know that there are no gaps and the thermal pads will transfer heat normally. You will have to screw down the heatsink and let it rest for sometime.
Hello good video i alredy make all of the tutorial .. really good!, i can see something black in the top of the SSD 1 in the pci slot ... Whats that?? Another thermal pad 🤔
So I was unable to reuse the black tape on my fans, could I use electrical tape, clear tape, white tape would these hold up under the heat what are your thoughts thx in advance great vid?👍👍
Hey, thanks for the video! I'm not experienced whatsoever in this field, but I've noticed a lot of fluff in the fans, so I came to explore. I've never overheated the laptop, so I don't think there is a need to (and neither do I want to (I'm scared to)) perform a full surgery, but I do want to clean the fans. Genuine question - are there any major risks if I just open the cover, get my hoover, and gently hover it over the fans, just to get as much fluff out as possible? Obvioulsy I won't put the hoover right up into the fans, as I don't want to damage anything, but will some gentle paintbrush strokes and a hoover to remove the dust do an acceptable job? Pls do say straight away if this is a bad idea🙃 Any advice/suggestions is greatly appreciated, from you and others :) Thank u
Hi. Yes you can remove the back cover and use a soft paintbrush to remove the dust. Just make sure to unplug the battery right after you remove the back cover. You don’t have to be very gentle with the brushing. Lol.
@@MVNDRVX after 6 months i will repaste again but till that is that okay the temperature and even it varies sometimes like it will be showing 92 and suddenly it shows 84 likewise
hello, thanks to you cleaning my laptop for the first time in two years was successful. i have a question though, do i need to replace the tapes on the fan because it no longer sticks and i had it removed. if yes, can you suggest what tape should i buy?

I was searching for the answer to the same question, but it looks like its called Black Insulating Acetate Cloth Adhesive Tape for Laptop, but I have seen other people retape it with regular tape not sure if regular tape would hope up under heat tho.
I wish that was possible. Unfortunately, no you cannot add thermal paste instead of thermal pads(blue tapes), since thermal paste are low in viscosity and it would not cover the gap. If you could get your hands on a high viscosity paste just like the stock pink paste, then it could be done. But with regular thermal paste, it's not recommended. Hope that was helpful.

@Gavin Townsley that's a good tip but I doubt air cleaning would remove thick dust from inside the fans. Plus in a few countries, it's hard to find compressed air cans and even if you do they're quite expensive. In that sense, brushing would be a more viable option 🙂

@@mrunkwn-km5le yes but it's totally worth it. You can go for other alternatives like cooler master that have the same 12-14w/mk and cheaper also. It will last you atleast 3-4 repastes. Thermal pads replacement are not necessary if it's still in good condition. Screwdriver set will last a long time. That's obvious. Isopropyl alcohol also.
@@MVNDRVX I was hoping to save money on the pads but last time I repaired in nearby shop (which is Acer authorised but not fully, works on tender) has replaced my pads and Thermal they were not professional compare to the pay which is 1200 , now I recall they used similar thermal paste that were used in normal notepads or old lappy, the temperature problem was not solved but I shrunk my uses to light since I didn't have time to travel far to repair it. I will do it myself now. Btw how many times can I use the thermal paste and pads given that it is only 1gm.
@@mrunkwn-km5le you can use a 1gm thermal paste for 2 repastes. Should last you a minimum of 3 years. Thermal pads should be 1 or 2 times use depending on how you manage the sizes. I haven't changed my thermal pads since the last time but I will have to repaste the CPU and GPU though.

when is ideal to be cleaning a laptop as a routine? I have my ph300 for a year now, and I'm wondering if I should try cleaning it even if I'm kinda scared and when should I try changing it's thermal paste? and about that brush to clean it, which type of brush is ideal so I don't damage my laptop?
Cleaning routine would depend on how dusty your surrounding is. Once in every 6 months to a year should be ideal. If your CPU temps are rising above 90 degrees celcius, then you should consider respasting, even if your laptop is brand new. You can use any soft brush. I've used painting brush for mine.

Try uninstalling & reinstalling the wifi drivers. Check once more if the adapter is plugged properly. Check if the wires are plugged in their assigned slots. Nothing should go wrong unless you broke something.
gg man. what type of thermal pads you use exactly and how many mm? 1mm? and what thermal paste you suggest me with a same laptop but with a i5 11th gen and a rtx 3060?
The thermal pads link is in the description. Check if it's available in your country. I used 0.5mm for the vram memory and 1mm for everything else. I guess it should be the same for you also but I'd suggest you search on Google and double check 🙂
Yes it is possible! But cleaning the exhaust fins need the heatsink to be removed and hence repasting is recommended. Hope this helps. Do subscribe to the channel to show some love & support 🙂✌🏻❤️
@@TheNamesRein Thermal pads doesn't need a replacement unless it's in bad shape. If the pads are in shape, it's still usable. I changed mine because it started to get flaky. So do check once before repasting. If the thermal pads are bad then you would find them all over the motherboard once you open up the back cover 🙂

You want me to clean it for you? What if I took your laptop and disappeared? Lol... I'm just kidding 😋 I could do that for you. Not a problem at all. If you're giving it at a shop to do the job, I wouldn't trust them with it. You will still have to open and check for yourself. I once gave my old laptop for service due to some motherboard issues cause one of the GPU IC was burnt and when I got it back, I opened it up to check what they had done. To my surprise, I found so much of dust stuck in the laptop, including the fans and I had to clean it out myself. I mean it's an old office laptop and the fans are not hard to reach like this predator model or any other gaming laptop in that case where the fans have an enclosure. The dust was sitting right there as I opened up the back cover and they couldn't even clean it for me. From then on, I decided to do the repasting and cleaning by myself.

I watched your video till the end and finally gained some confidence) and you wouldn't believe that how dirty the fans and exhaust were, there was literally a layer of dust between exhaust and fan. The thermal paste and pads are also goners but I haven't changed them yet.
People should really just have confidence and clean their laptops if they really value them.

Great tutorial, thanks for taking us through it step by step. Did you by any chance see whether there's any difference to the CPU and GPU temps when you undervolt your machine or reduce your maximum processor power to less than 50pc?
Thank you 🙂
I have undervolted, reduced processor power, etc. It does help with thermals a little bit but takes a hit on performance.
What's the point if you can't squeeze every juice out of the machine. Right? Lol
If you're struggling with high power usage and high temps, simply change the maximum state to 90%. The hit to performance is negligible but helps limit the CPU overperforming

Hi bro great job 👍
In your description you mentioned the thermal pad which consists of
20X67X0.5mm X3,
20X67X1.0mm X3,
20X67X1.5mm X3,
Are these many pads required or less than this is enough. If you could remember please tell me how much thermal pad required in both area and thickness of it?
Thank you.
Atleast 2 strips of 0.5mm and 1mm.
Hey! Did you repaste your laptop? If so what temperatures do you get after repasting? I'm planning on repasting my Helios 300 2019. It starts to thermal throttle at 85°c and can't play games for more than 10 mins.
Hello, excellent video! I am about to do maintenance on my notebook, the model is the predator PH315-53-77M4. The only difference is that the video card is rtx 2070. The only question is regarding the thermal pads that you used on the chips and the vram, in case my notebook does not have them and only has thermal paste, it is convenient to put a thermal pad on it. pads where it doesn't have?. I would appreciate your recommendations. Greetings from Argentina.
You must be having thermal grease on your chips and vram instead of pads. Just like what I had on my vram(pink thick paste). Yes you can use thermal pads instead.
@@MVNDRVX Thank you for the prompt response, do you know their name and the exact size of the screws that are from the heatsink? Why is there one that I can't remove and it's rounded a bit, so that when I can remove it, I'll change it for a new one? Any suggestions for removing it?
@@JuanPabloPereyra-n6c didn't have a different screw in mine. Maybe try buying a full screwdriver set, you should be good to remove it.
Was just playing Scavengers on my 15 inches Helios 300 2019 and the CPU temperatures were like 90-92.
As our CPU is already undervolted would I think repasting is the last option!
Thanks for the video mate
nah man it do be like that not unless you are living in cold climate but if you’re in tropical countries, its inevitable. Also have the same unit and im in ph thats why i hit 90+ the solution i did is downclock my cpu from 4.0ghz to 3.2 ghz doesnt really have impact on performance but has significant reduction in temps. also i tried playing in cold rooms and i noticed that i have really low temps even on high settings and overclocked. Its ur ambient temp that you should be blaming really. You would know when to repaste is when you’re hitting high temps even on idle.
At those temps, repasting would be the best thing you could do to save your laptop. High temps kill your laptop sooner.
Sorry for the late reply 🙂✌
@lago try to play a CPU intensive game and stream at 1080p at the same time. I'm sure your game and stream is going to get laggy at that clock speed 🙂
Great but my unit doesn't have thermal pads on it... should i have to put new ones or its okay to leave it like that....
No thermal pads? You're the second person telling me that... Would you be able to send me a picture on my Instagram? The link will be in the video description 🙂
I cleaned mine 10 days back and everything was fine till today. Since noon today the right fan has been making loud noise as if it's hitting on something while rotating
You must've bent the metal blades while cleaning it.
Thanks a lot! My fans were completly clogged and the factory paste and pads were quite dried up! Could manage to reduce my temperature while gaming starfield from 92°C with turbo to 82°C with normal fan speed!
Holy Cow :)

Hey I appreciate the video!
I have a few questions, thanks in advance!
1. What are the risks of doing the disassembly (short circuit/etc.) and how would you mitigate those risks?
2. I have a predator that hasn't been repasted for 2 years, do I must replace the thermal pads? Would it make that big of a difference if I don't replace it?
3. For the thermal pads (Amazon costs too much in terms of shipping) can you tell me whether this unbranded thermal pads is okay to use or not?
Specifications:
Blue
Size Length x Width: 20 x 20 mm
Thickness : 1.0 mm (Don't worry it has the 0.5 mm version as well)
Thermal Conductivity : 3 Wm/k
4. I've heard that static electricity damage can happen. Is that a thing I should be worried about or is it ok? Do I need some special equipment?
Thanks for the video once again! Liked and subscribed
You can make sure you're grounded during the process to make sure there's no risk of static electricity short circuit. These cases are rare though. In case you don't find a grounding device, just touch some metal to discharge.
Thermal pads don't need to be replaced unless it's gone bad. Mine got flaky and was all over the motherboard so had to replace them. If at all you're replacing your thermal pads, I'd recommend you go for at least 6W/mK.
@@MVNDRVX Thanks for the reply! what would happen if I use the 3W/mK
@@lightrunner77 no idea but I used 6W/mK and I feel it's safe. 2 years now and still going strong better than stock thermal pads.
@@MVNDRVX
Alright thanks for the info mate ❤️
A few more questions:
1. I haven't changed anything for more than 2 years, how long did you use your laptop before the stock thermal pads went bad and flaky?
2. I'm thinking about buying an antistatic mat and straps just to be safe ig. Is it worth it or is the risk of static electricity damage is very small?
3. If its not worth it how often should I touch metal to discharge? Every few minutes? Once before working?
I had to change it a year after buying my laptop.
The risk is small but costly. If you're really unsure, I'd say you better go for the anti static equipments.

Hi@@MVNDRVX, could you enlighten me a bit please? I see you used KRYONAUT thermal paste. Are you satisfied with it? No corrosion problems with this paste? Have you seen a clear improvement with CPU and GPU temperatures before and after change? Thank you for your answers.
@@iconxmath8830 Hi. There are drops in temperature but there's a limit. You can't expect much from a laptop. If you want more better thermals, then i would suggest you go for liquid metal. Keep in mind, the procedure for applying liquid metal is a little different from applying regular thermal paste. It's not worth the hassle, I'd recommend you stick with kryonaut 🙂

Hey @ank1t it's very easy. Just use some tweezer to pull up on the wire connectors. Just make sure to be gentle with it.

Should one do it by oneself or would recommend go for someone who is a professional
That is totally up to you. This tutorial is to help you DIY but if you're not confident enough, it's best you seek help from a professional.
Ive just ordered thermal paste and the pads, will be coming back to this video in 7 days time. So nervous trying this for the first time.
Hope you don't break anything. Just kidding 😂 Good luck 🙂👍🏻
@@MVNDRVX Is 1g tube enough for only an CPU or GPU repaste?
@@magamagaaa Yes. In fact you can repaste both twice with an 1g tube.
Finally worked up the courage to repaste, just wanna thank you my guy for an incredible video guide. Its even more impressive that this was your first tech video you uploaded Hope you have an wonderful day
The thermal pads should only be replaced if they're dry and flaky like yours, right? Should I buy the pads in advance just to be sure, or it's okay to just do the repasting and change the pads later if I see they're in a bad situation?
And would you recommend using those anti static gloves or some sort of anti static pad? Or something else to avoid static, if it's necessary. (I'm a little scared of damaging something)
Also, this might be a little dumb on my part but bear with me, I saw you recommend in another comment something about applying the pads first, but not the paste yet, fix the heatsink back and after a while remove and check for contacts. I have two questions about this: should I screw the heatsink back on during this, or just place it? And what does a contact looks like, which pads it could be on, and what exactly to do in this case? (For what I could get, the 0.5mm pads go on the ones that had the pink stuff, and the 1.0mm go on the rest, right?)
Thank you soooo much in advance, this video is pretty much a life saver for me right now, cause just the other day I was doing nothing and the CPU was in 81ºC and it really freaked me out, buy this is the first time I do something like this myself, the most I've done before was adding an extra SSD.
Before you do anything, remove the back cover to check on the thermal pads. If they are all over the place, it's better you get the pads and replace them along with the paste because once you remove the heatsink, you will have to repaste again so air gaps are eliminated.
For static electricity, you could just touch some metal to discharge yourself every now and then.
Checking for contacts meaning to look if imprints have formed. In that way we know that there are no gaps and the thermal pads will transfer heat normally. You will have to screw down the heatsink and let it rest for sometime.

Hey, thanks for the video! I'm not experienced whatsoever in this field, but I've noticed a lot of fluff in the fans, so I came to explore. I've never overheated the laptop, so I don't think there is a need to (and neither do I want to (I'm scared to)) perform a full surgery, but I do want to clean the fans. Genuine question - are there any major risks if I just open the cover, get my hoover, and gently hover it over the fans, just to get as much fluff out as possible? Obvioulsy I won't put the hoover right up into the fans, as I don't want to damage anything, but will some gentle paintbrush strokes and a hoover to remove the dust do an acceptable job? Pls do say straight away if this is a bad idea🙃 Any advice/suggestions is greatly appreciated, from you and others :) Thank u
Hi. Yes you can remove the back cover and use a soft paintbrush to remove the dust. Just make sure to unplug the battery right after you remove the back cover. You don’t have to be very gentle with the brushing. Lol.

I wish that was possible. Unfortunately, no you cannot add thermal paste instead of thermal pads(blue tapes), since thermal paste are low in viscosity and it would not cover the gap.

Cleaning routine would depend on how dusty your surrounding is. Once in every 6 months to a year should be ideal.

Thermal paste application should be after thermal pads application and before fixing the heatsink.

Hej man. Do I really need to get thermal pads, would paste be a big nono?
Hey! You don't need to replace thermal pads if yours is still good. If you're asking if thermal paste can be used instead of pads, that would not be recommended and it will definitely not do the job 🙂

@@MVNDRVX appreciate the quick reply man have a great day 😊👋
@@tggorudon2551 thank you! Wish you the same 🙂
@@MVNDRVX Hej man, I was wondering about the thermal pads, which thickness did you use? & Can I replace the thermal pads with a paste?
@@tggorudon2551 0.5mm for vram memory (replacement for pink paste) and 1mm for everything else.
And about the usage of thermal paste instead of thermal pads, I've already answered that question. Please look up in chat.
How often do we need to do repaste?
Probably once in 2 years. Depends on the usage actually. If done right, it could last you longer.
In case you take off the heatsink to clean the fans again in future, you will need to repaste.

@@MVNDRVX can you please tell why you replaced the pink paste with pads instead of putting some of your new paste in there, thanks
@@MVNDRVX thanks
@@shriramg.5086 It's almost impossible to find that pink putty in India bro. Even if you do, it costs a lot. So, thermal pads are the cheap & best alternative 🙂
@@rep_shashka you're welcome 🙂❤️
Hi! How much thickness of thermal pad? 1 or 1,5 mm?
O.5mm for the vram memory and 1mm for everything else.
@@MVNDRVX vram is pink, right?
@@n1kname423 yes that's correct.
@@MVNDRVX ty so much
@@n1kname423 you're welcome.
Hey man, how tight are the cpu and gpu screws supposed to be? I already messed up badly with my old laptop because of the screws
Not too tight. Stop when you feel the tension starting to build.
@MVNDRVX Oh, thanks, but what about the screws that seem to bend the metal to reach a "tighting" point
@@DanorDave it will only bend or break if it's too tight.
@MVNDRVX oh, well I should done alot more research when dealing with my old laptop lol, thank you so much for your answers and have a nice day 😊
@@DanorDave You too. Thank you!
are the thermal pads sticky? will they stick on the chips?
It's a little sticky. They are strong enough to hold on to the chips or the heatsink. You can use them without an issue 🙂

Should I use these same thermal pads for "2021" version? coz in this version, GPU chips placement aren't same as 2019 .
Yes. Same thermal pads should do just fine. The placement doesn't matter 🙂
Mandrax??? How many grams of syringe is enough? Is 1 gram syringe enough? Thank you
Hey! Yes 1 gram is more than sufficient 🙂

Hey man, are these thermal pads good enough or should I get the thermal grizzly minus 8 ones or the gelid ones? Those seem to be lot more expensive tho
The pads I've used does the job.
I have some serious thermal issues. I have done everything i can software vise. I think it's a hardware issue maybe thermal paste is gone or something i don't know. Can you clean it or what should i say to a shop when i want to get it cleaned like u did ?
You want me to clean it for you? What if I took your laptop and disappeared? Lol... I'm just kidding 😋 I could do that for you. Not a problem at all.
If you're giving it at a shop to do the job, I wouldn't trust them with it. You will still have to open and check for yourself.
I once gave my old laptop for service due to some motherboard issues cause one of the GPU IC was burnt and when I got it back, I opened it up to check what they had done. To my surprise, I found so much of dust stuck in the laptop, including the fans and I had to clean it out myself. I mean it's an old office laptop and the fans are not hard to reach like this predator model or any other gaming laptop in that case where the fans have an enclosure. The dust was sitting right there as I opened up the back cover and they couldn't even clean it for me. From then on, I decided to do the repasting and cleaning by myself.
You could give it at a shop, but make sure you don't take the heatsink off in case you want to check later or else air bubbles might form and in return, causing thermal issues.
Hope that helped. Let me know if you have any other questions. Do SUBSCRIBE to the channel to show some love and support 🙂✌
