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
You're welcome! Thank you.
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!

You did it carefully and perfectly with lot of patience bro unlike some goons out there, I was wondering for perfect use of thermal pads as what thikness should be used where and all but you solved that confusion too bro Thanks and take care bro, I am about to paste my GPU and CPU this weekend, wish me luck bro.
Thank you so much. Since this was my first tutorial video, it means a lot to me 🙂 I'm glad my video was helpful and educational 🙂

@@MVNDRVX sure bro will share the results as I am going to use cooler master mastergel maker instead of what you used and remaining stuff is same in my case.
@@GhostDevilGamer Bro did the thermal pads help you ?
@@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.
Didn't know you could open the fan unit like that. Gotta clean out my fans tomorrow. It was starting to make noise in higher rpms. 👍👍👍👍
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. Make sure you repaste the CPU and GPU with a good quality paste in case you're planning to dismantle the fan unit or else air bubbles might form in the thermal paste when placing the heatsink back.

Thank you Brother!
This was extremely useful to me. Thank you in particular for specifying the thickness of the thermal pads at 7:30
You're welcome. I'm glad the video was helpful 🙂 Do subscribe to the channel to show some love & support 😊❤️
Same here, anyone know the thickness?
0.5mm for vram memory and 1mm for everything else.
@@MVNDRVX is it ok to use 1mm for vram too?
@@savindumarapana6634 Not recommended.
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 :'(
You should clean it thoroughly. It's not that hard. You'd be surprised by how much of dust could accumulate on the fan blades.

@@MVNDRVX true, I cleaned my acer predator Triton 300 yesterday by taking a reference from your video(because I was too scared to open it without any advice. 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.
@@samyak4175 I'm glad the video was helpful. You should repaste if you removed the heatsink because air bubbles could form cause thermal issues. Hope your thermals are normal 😃

Thank you 😁 keep supporting and see it come true 😊
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
@@Old_Klepto_Nite how to do this ??
Verh helpful video. It was first time i ever opened my laptop, but its step by step guide definitely made it simple!

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.
I would like to see the tests in games at the maximum settings, what kind of heating will the processor be?
Great tutorial. I did it without any difficulty. Thank you.
That's great! You're welcome 😃👍🏻
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 🙂
This video reassured me about what to expect !! Thanks to you !! Very good video !!
You're welcome! Thanks for watching. I'm glad you like the video 🙂
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 🙂
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 :)

Does the dram actually benefit from the thermal pads? I understand the cpu and gpu probably get better temps but what about the system itself? Are the .5 mm pads you used superior to that pink paste?
Memory chips do produce certain amount of heat but not as much as the CPU & GPU itself. So most of the system heat comes from the CPU & GPU.
I feel the pink paste is just an overkill and regular 0.5mm pads works just fine.
Been using them for over a year now with heavy gaming and streaming, no issues until now 😉

Hi, I have a Predator Helios 300 PH 317-53, I wanted to add a SATA 3 SSD to it, but when I disassembled it, I did not find a connection loop there, and a vibration-isolating elastic band. Tell me, what model of SSD connection loop should I buy?
Hi! Your only choice would be to remove your HDD and replace the slot with the SSD. There are no additional slots but you can add a m.2 SSD since there are 2 slots.

@@Aaron6791ae I would never risk placing regular tape over components that could potentially get warm. They use the insulating tape for a reason !

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.
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 wish you had explained what you were doing at 26:43. Your hands covered it up, but did you have to solder something, did you screw in something? How do you reconnect the wifi?
Just press it down like a press type button.
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 🙂
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!
Hey! Thank you 😃
Maybe you need to put a little more pressure. Just make sure you've aligned them correctly and push them straight down or you could just unscrew the wifi adapter, pull it out and try connecting the wires if that's easier for you 🙂

Hi my laptop fan has been making a buzzing noise, I’m not sure if I’m supposed to change the thermal paste for it or something else is wrong with it
The fans have nothing to do with thermal paste. Please check the fans for dust and clean them out.
If problems still persist, the fans will need a replacement.
A lot of work 👍💯

What thickness pad did you use at 24:05 on the heatsink? Thanks
Hi there. My wifi stopped working after this. I know I plugged the wifi adapter correct. What seems to be the problem?
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.
Hmm. Just finished up repasting. Thanks a lot. GPU seems to have dropped 10degree during gaming. But CPU is more or less the same close to 90c. perhaps now it's overclocking more.
That sounds great! 😃
CPU temp seems to be fine since you're overclocking it 🙂

Thank's a lot i did exactly what u did following ur video and my temps went from peaks of 94 degress playing even CS2 to 65 degress 70 degress at peak! Of course in conjunction with throttlestop and undervolt. Used artic mx-4 paste and thermal pads of 0.5mm for vram and 1mm for the rest. Regards.
Ps. Let's see now how long it will be efficient since once i repaste with collermaster paste and it only worked a few days but in that occasion i did not changed the thermal pads.
You're welcome. Mine was good for more than a year with heavy usage of 8+ hours a day of gaming and streaming without undervolting.
@@MVNDRVX may I ask, where is the vram located in the motherboard?
@@7kei517 the chips surrounding the GPU are the vram with pre-applied pink paste.
For the vram areas can we use thermal gel instead of pads? The areas which were initially pink
You can but you need to have a thicker viscosity paste. Normal thermal paste will not do the job. Better replace with thermal pads.
Hope that was helpful. Do support the channel by dropping a LIKE & SUBSCRIBE 🙂✌
What kind of pads did you use? Thickness and what not? Thanks I’ll be using this video as my guide when I repaste and change pads on my predator triton 300
Also, should I use thermal paste AND pads on all the other parts besides cpu/gpu? Or just the pads?
I just used some cheap thermal pads from Amazon based on the reviews. The brand is called adwits.
I used 0.5mm in replacement of the stock pink paste and 1mm for the rest of the chips.
Not sure about the thickness used for triton 300. Do check on that.
Only replace thermal pads if necessary. It's not mandatory because thermal pads last long in most cases and just use thermal pads alone. Only apply paste on pads where you think contact is not made with the heatsink.

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.

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
@@apollo6592 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.
when you did the storage upgrade, did you move that to be the primary storage device or just add a second drive? Mine has a 512gb and I am going to add a 1tb but I am trying to figure out if i need to move my os and everything onto it it by cloning then clearing the 512 or just add it as additional storage.
I just added it to the other empty slot and kept everything else how it was.
Is it necessary to apply thermal paste, if we just want to clean the fan's dust. If we don't disturb the existing thermal paste, clean the fan and re attach it without changing the paste, will it still work or cause any issues??
You could do that but it would not make much difference in the temps unless your fans/exhaust are completely blocked and are the reason behind extreme temperatures 🙂

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?
@@user-su8wf8lf7u didn't have a different screw in mine. Maybe try buying a full screwdriver set, you should be good to remove it.
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.
@@MVNDRVX thank you, I can't express how helpful this is, thank you so much

@@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.
What percentage of isopropyl alcohol did you use? The only one I have laying around is 70%
I'd recommend using 99% but if it's not available, then 70% would be fine but give it more time to dry completely before doing anything else.

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.
Don't forget to connect the battery after you're done 🙃
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 🙂
@@MVNDRVX thank you bro.
@@MVNDRVX one more question, which one is the vram memory?
@@mariossakas8913 the chips around the GPU. If you see in the video, they had pink paste on them.
Hi , please help … I have acer nitro 5 , I applied 1mm thermal pads to the Vram the performance is now weak and the temps is higher too … what should I do ?
Did you reapply the CPU and GPU with fresh thermal paste?
@@MVNDRVX yes repasting with thermal grizzly and applying thermal pads the GPU temp goes up to 78C with very poor performance 50% GPU usage … is there a possibility that the pads are too thick ?
So normally the vram mems don't give out so much heat. I think your thermal paste application was too little or check whether you connected the fans. That's a very common mistake people make 🙂
I’ve had mine for almost 2 years now and never opened it up to clean. The fan is very loud now and the other day my game froze up completely and I couldn’t even open task manager. I’m sure it was overheating as the temp fluctuates between 75-90 Celsius when gaming. I know nothing about computers and afraid to open it up. Is this something I could get done at a computer shop?
Yes. You absolutely can. Just make sure you're there physically to double check the work. Most shops I know will just repaste it and will "not" do a good job cleaning the hardware cause it takes time and patience.

Hi. just want to ask what thickness of thermal pads are used on this video
0.5mm for the vrams (replacement for pink pads) and 1mm for the rest.

I have a very similar model, same cpu, I found the Acer Aeroblade is so noisy. I found a replacement on ebay non Aeroblade but compatible size. I pushed out the fan from the fan case centrer pole add white lithium grease, the sound is so much quieter.
Thanks for the tip 😉👍🏻
Which ones are the VRM chips? The smaller ones? I can't tell the difference which you put 1mm thermal pads or 0.5mm thermal pads. I'll be doing the same thing you're doing.
The Vram chips are the ones that already have pink paste on them. You need to replace that with 0.5mm pads and 1mm for everything else 🙂
Hello friend not sure what thermal pad to ise is the thermal grizzly minus 8 pad good for my helios 300 rtx 2060 model 30*30 0.5 mm??
Hey! Yes absolutely you can use minus 8 pads if you're willing to spend so much but it's not necessary 🙂
I'm guessing you live in India and the product link is in the video description, do check it out. You can get 0.5mm and 1mm pads just for ₹499.
Hope this helps. Do subscribe to the channel to show some love & support 🙂❤️
can you apply thermal pastes on those parts instead of thermal pads?
No Sir. Regular thermal paste are low in viscosity, hence they would not make any contact due to bigger gaps between the chips and heatsink.

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.

Great !! THX
You have my sub my guy
Thank you 🙂
This is amazing! 🔥 I have few questions, I definitely am gonna ask you later.
Thank you 😊 Sure... Ask me anything
Sorry in what minute did you apply the paste? i only see you applied thermal pads but what about the paste?
Thermal paste application should be after thermal pads application and before fixing the heatsink.
Can u tell me where did u use what size thermal pads either u didn't mention it or I missed u mentioning it 😅😊
You must've missed it. It's 0.5mm for vram memory and 1mm for everything else.
Any suggestions on how to deal with a stripped screw? I could remove all the heatsink screws except screw number 5 and ended up stripping it. Tried the elastic rubber band method but that didn't work either. Also I have thermal paste that i was unable to use, how long do they last if unused?
There should be another method to remove a worn out screw head. You could Google on that.
Thermal paste would last you atleast 5-6 years if stored properly.
Good luck 🤞🏻 Do let me know how it goes 🙂
@@MVNDRVX thanks!

Thanks for this great video, I have just one question. The thickness of the thermal pads are official? 1mm on everything and 0.5 on the VRAM
You're welcome. Thank you for watching 🙂
If you ask Acer they would suggest 1mm pads on everything.
But I've done tons of research and came to a conclusion that 1mm is too thick and would have some thermal resistance.
Many people have asked me this question and my suggestion would be to apply thermal pads as shown in the video. Do not apply the thermal paste yet. Fix back the heatsink.
Let it rest for a while. Remove the heatsink and check for contacts. If you see contacts on every pad, then you're good to go.
If there is no contact on some pads, just apply a little bit of paste on them.

@@MVNDRVX Thanks mate! I'm going to get Thermalright 1mm and 0.5mm thermal pads and Kryonaut thermal paste!
@@kezziekz you're welcome. Glad I could help 🙂
@@MVNDRVX Can I apply the same thermal paste of CPU/GPU on the Vram?
@@MVNDRVX are the VRAM chips those in the bottom right, around the GPU chip right?
Hey, small question
What are you using to clean the ruined thermal pads, any alternative for alcohol?
Nope. Alcohol is the only recommended solution to use. Make sure it's 99% and not 70.
bro my gpu fan stooped last day its shows 0 rpm in predator sense plz tell me solution and also a question "is gpu and cpu fan are of same size plz let me know i m worried"
Maybe the fan motor is broken and the unit needs to be replaced. CPU & GPU fans are the same size but not the same. GPU fans blades are made of metal, while the CPU fan blades are plastic.

Can u tell me where did u use what size thermal pads either u didn't mention it or I missed u mentioning it 😅
It's mentioned in the video. 5mm for vram memory and 1mm for everything else.
Even after removing every screw from the cooling system (i triple checked), it was still very firm/stuck around where the screw with number 6 is.
I was afraid to pull it because I don’t want to break anything. Do you have any tips?
Are you sure you removed all the screws? It should be easy to pull out the heatsink.
If you're pretty sure that all the screws are removed, then just hold the both the sides of the pipe and pull harder. Nothing will happen.
Just make sure you've removed all the screws 🙂
@@MVNDRVX ok, i will give it a second try, just wanted to be extra sure that there is no screw on the other side holding it. Thanks a lot for the video and for the quick response
@@herbertjunior8297 no problem at all. You're welcome.

I need only to clean the fans do i need to take out all the thermal system or the fans only?
You could do the fans alone but the cleaning wouldn't be proper since the exhaust vents are hard to reach unless the fans are removed 🙂

Is this the same exact process for the 2021 version with the rtx 3060?
Not sure if it's the same but it should be similar. Most gaming laptops are built quite similar, if you know how to identify the basic components like the CPU, GPU, RAM, storage slots, etc.
If you have any trouble, you can contact me on my Instagram. The link would be in the video description.

Hey! I have repasted my laptop, although I didn't change the thermal pads (used kryonaut with the spread method). Every other variables are equal, but my laptop is still running hot (It's running on the same temp as before repasting), what do you think is the cause? Is it because of my thermal pads? (To be fair my thermal pads' conditions are worse than yours lol
Then change them!!!!! Lol😆
Those small chips don't give much heat actually. Most heat come from the CPU & GPU. You wouldn't have applied enough paste.
Just use the pea drop method(be generous) and let the heatsink pressure do its thing. Remember, too much is OK but too little will not work. Good luck.
hi
Is it ok to apply thermal paste instead of thermal pads that you applied ??
Hey! I wouldn't recommend using thermal paste instead of pads since regular paste are low in viscosity, so there will be no contact made.
Hope this answers you question. Do Subscribe to show some love & support 🙂✌🏻
What thickness did you use for the pads? and one piece of 20x120 mm is enough to change all ? I cant find 2 pieces, only one
0.5mm for the vram memory and 1mm for everything else.
You will need atleast 2 strips of each size.
@@MVNDRVX Ok, thanks!
Can the same size pads be used for the 2020 version of this laptop?
Yes absolutely! 🙂

yesterday i was playing game at my pc it automatically shutdown and didnt open i tried everything even the charging indicator was not blinking today it turned on automatically after 16 hours my laptop gets like 101 102 while gaming do i need to replace my thermal paste and clean the fan and do system update and i havent cleaned the fan laptop seems dirty too its been just 11 months and thermal paste is not working any suggestions
Yes. It's overheating. You need to get a repaste done along with a good cleaning for better airflow.
@@MVNDRVX na bro today it opened automatically but when i just plug in the charger it shutdown automatically and not turning on again
Hi don’t know if you will see this but, is the one of the fans plastic and one is the metal aeroblade fan?
Yes that's right. That's how Acer assembles and sells them 🙂
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 🤔
Yes M.2 SSD's need thermal pads to transfer heat.
Thanks for the comment and that makes me do another question 🙂. Is this thermal pad in the top of the heatsink m.2 ?
@@gianrenzo6606 It's just one full strip of thermal pad.
