I vote to change the channel name to "Dawid Does Pointless Stuff". I'm not complaining - it's entertaining to watch.
Haha!! That may come in the future. 😅
@@DawidDoesTechStuff you should create a seperate channel called that
What's the point, then he will just get less views on it

What an elegant and practical cooling solution for all laptop owners
ceep your hands away from integrated keyboard, use external mouse and keyboard or just joystick.
Affordable too
Laptop: overheating
Me: Open up the laptop, and replace the thermal paste
Dawid: *T O W E R C O O L E R S*
lol I thought this would be a legitimate guide but then I realized it was Dawid xD
@@aaronlui8477 Haha!! My bad. 😅
Am I the actual only one waiting for the day when Dawid uses LN2 to overclock a Gameboy or something like that?
@@methodmantis3060 nope me too 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I put liquid metal and keep the bottom off of my dell g7 7588 while sitting on a fan stand. It still runs full load at 80 at 3.9GHz all cores
"if u have a gaming lamptop"
Generous of u to assume that my laptop can work as a lamptop
There is nothing like a good lamptop.
@@DawidDoesTechStuff Wonder if you could get wide zip ties, melt holes through them with a soldering iron & just have some like spongy material too sort of act as mounting material in the middle of the heatpipes above the heat plate & screwing the zip ties down once they are tight enough into the stock cooler mounting, might flex a bit & move around on you but if done right should have higher mounting pressure.
DIY Perks had a very old video of applying big heavy coolers onto a laptop Motherboard.
He might have some good techniques on getting good mounting pressure for doing this
My laptop glows hot enough with its terrible cooling that it can be considered a lamptop
The reason performance went down when you over clocked is because the laptop VRMS can’t keep up with the higher clocks. I had a similar thing with an old Core 2 Quad machine. It would perform better at 3ghz than at 3.2ghz.
mine is the opposite. Works like a NASA PC at clocks like 5.0 ghz but them temps be reaching 85-99

Hahahaha, I'm the type of person, who goes all of the internet searching on how to overclock a cpu that's not overclockable 😂
Same as well
Hahaha!! Yeah, that's exactly what I had to do with the laptop's CPU. 😁
me three 😁
Yup same here, took me forever to realize that my i7 9700f wasn't overclockable, total noob move on my part.
@@jaredchampagne2752 I hope you weren't trying to OC the IGP 🤣🙄
"Now this is starting to look really stupid, which means we're getting really close to a solution." This is pretty solid logic.
I suggest attaching the AIO to the heat pipes so that mounting pressure remains adequate and heat is transferred away in a more efficient manner. The proper way would be a copper plate covering the two dies, using the original mounting holes with an AIO attached on top.
Nobody:
Dawid "I think this was a very useful video!!"
It's a useless video
I’m genuinely surprised you remembered to disconnect the battery 😂
He's going to melt the cat at some point....
I think I would have been in real trouble if I forgot to disconnect it AGAIN. 😂
@@DawidDoesTechStuff you disconnected the keyboard not the battery. battery connector is the one with alot of red wires.
dawid, i know the verge pc build has been reacted to by everyone but i think your reaction in a video would be the best
I love your jank/ghetto mods, it gives me so much inspiration to rip into old oem pcs and just combine random shit together and make custom heat sinks and try to get as low of temps as possible in dell proprietary cases
Man I look forward to all your videos bro, its a fun environment and just genuine
The IHS on desktops is different from laptops. You can't just put a drop of thermal paste in the middle and hope the mounting pressure spreads it evenly like on a desktop. With laptops, you take some good branded thermal paste and evenly spread a thin layer across the entire IHS. You'd still run hot, but most likely in the 70-85 without thermal throttling at load depending on the laptop.
Trial and error guided me through this, I tried the dot method, and it was thermal throttling, evenly spread the layer and you get much better temps at load without throttling, cheers. Also make sure you're at the latest bios. If this is not enough, you may be able to undervolt like -.050v and in some cases, if you raise the laptop, the intake fans from the bottom can easily take in more cool air.
It's a direct die cooling since laptop CPU and GPU doesn't have IHS above the chip
@@sihamhamda47 correct
what about using thermal pads, instead of paste?
@@thebestever333 You need the right thermal pads with the correct specification to cool down a specific amount of heat per area enough to dissipate from your CPU. In my experience, off the shelf generic thermal pads don't cool as well as generic thermal paste.
Yeah different in the sense that THEY DON'T EXIST
I tried to put the laptop underwater as cooling solution, it’s awesome the temperature are so low that the laptop shut down itself to prevent damage!!! It’s insane
I tried this with my high end laptop that my dad bought yesterday with his last money. The laptop got so cold even my dad passed out because he never saw that cold CPU before in laptop. What a great advice thanks man
@@vyrkolach5546 it’s awesome, even the screen is all black and the speaker are so quite while playing. Even the fan is turned off.

@@DawidDoesTechStuff I’m glad to see that you reply to comments Dawid! Your a great TH-camr and one day you’ll be even bigger
@@jacob-yr3py I love interacting with the comment section. You all are funny as hell.
Thanks for the nice comment.
@@DawidDoesTechStuff oh and also, in the video you did about the “10 core” 380$ pc, the 3tb hard drive in it has spun 16 billion 228 million times 👀👀
"Those temperatures sure are as sexy as hell"...expected 69c - Disappointed, Dawid xD.
Haha!! Damn, huge missed opportunity. 😅
I like this kind of janky stuff. It's highly amusing. I was having this internal argument about how evga seems to have slacked off with their cooling in recent years. I was given a GTX 480 with a heatsink that could past tense someone. But, My RTX 2060's heatsink is basically is feather in comparison. I kinda wanna see how effective the old 480 bricksink could chill the 2060.
This can open a discussion though. Laptops usually come much cheaper than a desktop. Maybe we can start a modding craze on which we buy laptops that do have good parts and put actually good cooling on them to get desktop performance.
A desktop setup should be cheaper, because is big and clunky and not portable and you pay more to get the downsizing of a laptop.
@@ElGoogKO mobile options aren't that different pricing wise as before.
Like before a laptop with the capabilities of a 500$ pc would cost 800-1000$.
But now a laptop with the capability of a 500$ pc costs 650$.
And also keep in mind many pc vs laptop price comparisons happily don't take into account the price of a monitor which you kinda need.
It's irrelevant if you have one from your 20 previous builds. For a first time beginner that's atleast 100$ for a run of the mill 1080p monitor.
My man, I need to see you playing with Liquid Metal on your things. The added danger makes me terrified but happy
Funnily enough, I actually have some liquid metal in coming. 😁
@@DawidDoesTechStuff I AM EXCITED :D
@@DawidDoesTechStuff liquid metal gt 1030 lol
The liquid metal has cometh!
you unplugged the keyboard, not the battery
I feel like there's a way somewhere to mod this into something practical.
I think you can use pipes and the pipes goes to the giant fan towers. Also adding more fans to the towers. And making a 3d printed enclosure.
But in practice maybe a external gpu could be a better alternative. I know that it's a joke but it has potential.
this channel content keeps getting crazier and I'm living it 😂
Good stuff!
Makes you wonder why no one sells huge alternative bases for various laptop models. Many people use their laptop as a desktop replacement with a screen, mouse and keyboard after they are done studying and don't need to be mobile anymore. I am typing this on a Macbook Pro Early 2011 that I got for free a week ago. The thing runs great, but the fan ramps up for literally anything. Would be kind of cool to make it into a phatmac with a huge base, and way lower temperatures.
I was thinking about this for 2 years now. Finally someone did it.
Some breath of fresh air on tech tips! Thanks Dawid! :D
Hi there! Great video! One question: what cable types did you use to power the fans directly from the PSU?
It is neat the way you improved the cooling while maintaining the portability.
Or you could order a "new" backplate for the laptop, drill holes in it facing the heat pipes, put the laptop "normally" on a stand with feet long enough to fit the cooler upside down and let the cooler cool the heat pipes ? Plus if you use a thermal pad on the cooler you can always create a custom door on the modded backplate to keep portability while maintaining good enough contact.
loved it all! start to finish! liked. subbed.
Ok Dawid, this was the most crazy and genius thing I saw here in your channel. Congrats man
Thank you. 😁
Try 99 sometimes 100°c when gaming lol
I have a laptop with these problems of overheating, I grabbed the cooler of a graphics card and I'm in the process of installing it, I'm already adapting it, seeing this video encourages me much more!
thanks for such a good video, a good MOD!
Another cookie but excellent video Dawid. Regarding the close to other components problem , use some helicopter tape over them to prevent shorting and Im thinking you could use some copper coins or plate possibly cut to shape between the chip and the cooler to give you clearances.
Between David and Jeff Geerling, I can lmao and still learn fresh stuff. Kudos!
I love your "useful" videos. Keep them coming!
I actually did on my samsung Rv509 (It's my folding at home pc) but I used a Socket 478 stock cooler and I mounted it permanently by actually drilling holes on the Cooler so that I am able to mount the cooler from the back of the motherboard using screws. And after that my load temps dropped from 97°c to 42c
thank you for making experiments! now i kind of understand how cooling works in laptop
I really wanted to try the same thing on my overheating laptop that throttles all the time! Bravo!
I am seeing a trend. "This is really a bad idea." appears in almost all your videos. So exciting!
i hope in the future they consider this and leave an opening/hatch on the floor of the laptop where you then can clamp on some cooling block/baseplate to extend the heatpipe
Cool idea
Didnt expect to teardown the damn laptop lol
I actually use my laptop like that but with the coolers on top of the stock heatskin with a generous amount of thermal paste, they don't move at all this way. The laptop turns on power so I don't need to open the lid. And I also cool the vrms and pch with 2 more small fans. You don't need a PSU for the fans, a cheap 10$ 12V DC transformer will do.
YES I WAITED FOR THIS IN OVER A DAY
Anna walks in, sees this monstrosity, turns around to the 12 pack of fire extinguishers and leaves 5 in a pentagram style around this setup.
Marvelously unuseful as always - great work Dawid!👍
Love your content Dawid
Pretty cool idea...I got some older laptops that don't work so well ..broken screens but may be able to make another in an old art box I have...made an all in 1 laptop in a box and attached it to the back of a monitor...I sent timmy Joe pics prob a year ago :) and at least you didn't snap the laptop on your head!! Love your vids buddy!!
your last video actually inspired me to get one of these used Blades, though I sprang for a 2016 model with the 970m and an i7-6700hq. Funny thing is it's actually 2 years older than the laptop it's replacing. just couldn't take the terrible build quality of my Asus Vivobook any longer.
what monitor werr you using when testing your laptop inprovments?
I had a gaming laptop that ran really hot. I put it up on 4 dixey cups giving it come clearance off the table and it lowered the temperature by a huge amount.
Why does my laptop cooling pad not seem to make a difference at all? It’s raised off of the desk and has two fans that blow underneath. What am I doing wrong?
As someone who is currently endeavoring to piece together a banger 720p/1080p rig from 6 years ago, I salute your efforts here.
It all started for me when I pulled a perfectly fine AMD A10 7800 APU out of an old Lenovo desktop a few weeks ago. Then I found a new, still sealed in the bag Asus A88X Pro board for $50. And then just yesterday I stumbled upon the best , most incredible deal for completely obsolete machinery ever and obtained two (count em TWO) used but pristinely kept GTX 980 Kingpin cards with ALL of the OG packaging and accessories and an SLI bridge for $300. I'm still in awe of this deal.
Now I'm at the point where I feel like the spirit of this machine is trying so hard to manifest into the real world that it would simply be cruel of me not to facilitate it the rest of the way.
Also, considering what I've already got going into this thing, it's going to end up being an actual monster.
Now I just need to find one of those old Corsair or Thermaltake cases that look like a space shuttle from the 1980s and I'll be in business.
9:24 this is absolutely the most useful video I've ever seen. I'm going to buy a laptop right now and 2 tower coolers to do this, to replace my 3700x/2080ti gaming pc.
Me before watching the video: Maybe this will help. Me after watching the video: Maybe I don't do this to a brand new Blade Pro 17.
Oh please don't do it to a brand new Razer Blade. 😅
How does one securely mount the cooler. I don't want to just place a cooler and leave it so it can fall.
Im considering this, as I do push my Nitro 5 to the limit quite often, and it it is known for getting hot, even with a stand and adequate space for air underneath. Poor CPU has hit 200 degrees F before :((
Mister Dawid, is the liquid metal a good alternative for better cooling?
What is the software that is used to monitor all the temperature and memory usage? I'm new to this
Wht abt using the air coolers for threadripper? Maybe it can contact both cpu & gpu same tome?
Those laptop temps were pretty decent to begin with, if you want a more stable thermal experience and better frequency stability you should’ve just undervolted but this works too
yeah even 92c on 3d furmark was not even unusual for a laptop was even surprised it didn't go over 95c.
I had this problem on my 15inch asus gaming laptop, the things a furnace. After changing the thermal paste, best is just to start using a laptop cooler.
First, nice to see you disconnect the power on the laptop. Second, this video was some of the most ridiculous tech content I have ever watched and I loved it!
My msi gaming laptop black power adapter is getting hot is that common on all laptops?
You are insane!! And that's the fact that I love watching your videos!
I really wish you try putting thermoelectric cooler some day in a laptop :\ i'm planning to put it into my blade 15 but idk when that's gonna happen
I always wanted to build a custom water cooling system for my laptop.
What FPS software do you use?
Thanks for the tip! Although I have been getting weird looks at the airport…
My PC not going beyond 60°c but shuts down after 15-20 min of starting, next time I turn it on it shows error of overheating, what I have to do to fix this?
I wonder if you could just put the laptop in a mini case so you won't destroy the whole thing when bumping it.
But I feel like that would ruin temperatures.
I guess you could just tape the coolers to the laptop? 😅
@@DawidDoesTechStuff nah, just lots of zip ties 🧐
Idk, my laptops cooler is in perfect condition, but it stops to work every 5minutes or so.. And both cores temp is above 95.. So.. What should I do?
HEY HOW DID U CONNECTED THE VENTIRAD TO THE POWER SUPLLY? WHATS THE CABLE TYPE? I NEED ADAPTATOR IM DOING THE SAME THING LIKE YOU MY CPU ON MY OLD LAPTOP IS 100DEGRESS AND I WANT TO TRY IT ( dont fking tell me to rempalce thrermal paste or cleaning or undervolting or shit , i tryed everythings)
People say the some craziest ideas work but im not expecting this kind of method
Love the crazy scientist videos!
I have an old gaming laptop I want to try and mod like this ... to see how well I can cool it.
How are you able to power the fans ?
Dawid as a technician I can agree that this is the best way to cool any laptop
I think it's best to mod a fan brackets for the cooling fans so that you can place your laptop in its top position (of course, placing it on a holed table). 😁😀✌🏼
Love the vids man👍
Probably power limited. Very cool video, maybe try to 3D print some kind of brackets to hold the coolers.
Your mods are becoming more and more practical by the day😆😆
Haha!! I know right? 😅
@@DawidDoesTechStuff ....loving it though
@@DawidDoesTechStuff ...i had a very similar setup in college...😆😆
@@soumyadeepmitrayo94 Oh that's awesome!
How did you connect the coolers to the PSU ?
maybe use smaller peltier. This razer actually a have inlet outlet where ? all below screen? i use it for enscape it goes as high 90 C
Seems like that GT1030 cooler would fit perfectly across both the GPU and CPU in that laptop.
When I connect the charger while playing games, the laptop overheats. I heard opinions that this problem is caused by the charger so I decided to buy a new charger. What model of charger do you recommend for my laptop is Lenovo Legion y520?
Slightly more practical might be to make a thicc laptop by taking one of those laptop coolers removing the top of it, removing the bottom of the laptop and sticking some heatsinks that are just thin enough to fit in the laptop cooler chasis on top of the heat pipes (keeping the original cooling working), and then directing the laptop cooler fan through the new heatsinks. Attach them together in a semi-permanent way and it's still be at least somewhat portable that way.
On your next cooling experiments, Try a thermal pad instead of a paste, and it might have a better contact and easier to apply your (ahmm) "solutions"
are thermal pads recomended?
i still remember my hp elitebook 2570p with 104c on gpu and cpu. ran it daily 10 hours a day for over a year and still works.
i think if you 3d printed a mount
it could be possible to mount an aio securely on there
Laptop: Cool me down daddy!
Dawid: yes
imagine having one of these and then a earthquake shows at the party to ruin it
My laptop runs extremely hot even when just running chrome with 32gb of ram. Is there anyway this can be fixed without spending any money or changing clock speeds
@James's Gems ^^^
Get an air blower and blow out the vents. I just started using a laptop last month as my PCs are all down. After a month of use it became very slow, it's new, no malware, so I blew it out with my trusty datavac that I use for the PC's and it sped back up. I researched a little and found this is a common issue that gets overlooked, good luck!
Don't close air intake holes, open even more holes for air to come in, clean cooler, repaste cpu, change thermal pads if there are any, buy a custom cooling solution for your laptop if there is any, or just ask Dawid more directly lol
Throttlestop is good undervolting program.It can reduce heat from your laptop.
Replace thermal paste if u cant do it yourself go to a near pc shop or a friend who know tech
what is that overlay that he uses for fps and temps
interesting stuff..keep it up bro,doesnt matter the end result
My gaming laptop runs at 60 degrees celsius at pretty much all times is that good?
This is GREAT for my Clevo n850hp6 ( XMGA517) laptop.
Had it for like...5 years now? GPU and CPU are ALWAYS Thermo-throttling at 95° from day 1. Second Year I undevolted it, next I opened it up ( I actually use it opened ) and now I'm even underclocking it. It's just a joke of a cooling system.
What I'm wandering is how will this affect memory temps? I think those guys need cooling and we're not taking care of them in the current solution, still a nice start!
on my laptop I use 4 small square fans to blow air into the vents on top of the laptop. I used to also have a vacuum port device that would suck the hot air out. If I used all that while gaming the laptop would stay around 32C to 55C when everything was running at max for a long time. Without it the lap top would consistently be at 98C to 100C+
Bro, I love how at 5:07 he attaches the external psu, and is like “that probably going to impact portability” after he just installed 2 air coolers to a laptop
