I did this on my m17 r2 with thermal grizzly. Only took about half an hour and between this and undervolting it knocked a lot off the Temps and it no longer thermal throttles.
Could you do a version with subtitles explaining what you're doing and the steps in direct please? I'm a newbie in term of disassembling and pastecooling, the tutorial is a bit too fast and far away from me :/ But thanks for your work anyway !
Kinda in the same boat-would you be able to send me the link as well?

Do you realize you are a lifesaver? I have been looking for a view like this. The only thing I wish is the video quality to be clearer so I could see which screw to screw easier but this is the cloest thing I need. Thank you so much!! I was looking for something like so I could repaste and suck the dust out from the fan, are the SSD and battery must be removed in order to do that tho?
Hey awesome job man! I bought some kryonaut to repaste my new m17 and wooo. It's way more intense of a disassembly than I originally thought. Any numbers on degrees before and after?
It didn't drop nearly as much as I hoped for but it helped.. Sorry, I don't remember the numbers. My Legion 7i saw a better drop in temps than this did..
Ill never buy a laptop that has such awful configuration. Like cmon, they know that repasting and stuff like that is necessary on a gaming laptop and make it as hard as possible to achieve it at the same time. Mf lets make users remove all screws and components before they can fucking change thermal paste.
Super well done. I would rather hear your thought process and have you talk us through the steps. Would make this much more informational. Gotta say its very good despite it. I am currently figuring out how im going to replace my DC power jack and this is most of that process, i am curious if you will make a video on that for us? NOT ONE VIDEO OF DC JACK REPLACEMENT ANYWHERE ON TH-cam FOR THE M17 R3.

so true. it could be wonderful he if could speak a little of how of how to walk through the steps and something to aware of or not to break .
I run an undervolt of -120mv on my CPU and -80 on the iGPU (not sure if that does much but why not). The undervolt helps a little. If you get really high temps while gaming I recommend underclocking as well..
@@ralphlauren6094 mine are 107 as well and it won't let me change them. You can change the IccMaxx, though. I adjust the slider all the way to the right to allow the most power. If you reduce it to 1-5amp you can decrease power draw on battery if need be.
@@juststeve6296 Thanks, and do u feel any differences after changing the paste? As on reviews, this laptop M17 R3 goes to 100C degrees easily, so the cooling system with 2 vents is not quite good I guess. And what is your think? Also wud be nice to compare this laptop's cooling system with MSI GS75 Stealth / GE75 Raider series laptops.
Ya, pretty much same setup.. Might be a few tiny different things but same concept.. Just pay attention and look for any wires or screws when you go to pull the motherboard out..
That depends on whether or not yours comes with RAID 0. If you get one SSD with purchase you'll have one 2280 slot and one 2230 slot open (then yes you can install the 970). RAID 0 will leave you with only a 2230 slot open (then no it won't fit unless you do the following) in which case you should get rid of RAID 0 and upgrade the storage in the two 2280 slots as the 2230 slot is hard to find a good SSD..
@@juststeve6296 awesome thanks for the quick reply!! I have one more question for you. If I was to buy a thunderbolt 3 SSD Enclosure and run a samsung 970 pro would that be alright for running games off?
@@K0bIMuscles do you already have the 970 pro? If so then yes. If not then get a cheaper drive for that.. Just make sure the enclosure is for NVMe M2 and not SATA M2..
The music drove me insane. The speed drove me insane. You are supposed to present this as a guide.. didn't even go as far to tell screw types for bottom.. shocking video sorry. Not in any way informative.
Thank you so much for tearing it down, Sir. Been lookin' for this all over the internet. Thank you!
You're welcome!
yep looking for this too, thank u
@Jdlion04 The RAM is pre-installed and soldered on the motherboard so you might need to send it back or go to their service center.
I did this on my m17 r2 with thermal grizzly. Only took about half an hour and between this and undervolting it knocked a lot off the Temps and it no longer thermal throttles.
So much information. Everyone is so respectful. Subbed 👍
Thanks! Can't wait to have those for video editing!
i would love to do this but im worried ill ruin my laptop. how were your thermals after?
Nice video sir. I receive my M15 R3 Tuesday. Going to unbox and do some tests for thermals. If they are high, I will definitely be repasting.

Why did you not put the plastic covering back on it when putting it back together? What does it do? Is it the heat shield?
I thought it was an anti static guard in case the bottom gets jolted. But that's what I think it's for.
What are the thermal pad sizes for the VRAM?

Hello juststeve is there a way i can get this motherboard. If you have a spare one
Nice! Very helpful.. Are you going to undervolt this? Please share as well.

@@ralphlauren6094 I use throttlestop on the Alienware.

Did one of the screws for the bottom plate have a c clamp holding it or do I have a lose one on there
Quick question for ya brother, is the 3 2280 ssd slots or 2 2280 and 1 2230?
2x 2280 and 1x 2230.. Basically pointless lol.
Do you have one where you replace thermal pads?
I'm curious to this as well. I asked what the size of the thermal pads are for the VRAM but no response.
Before and after repaste results?and is this hard to do?I have the m15 r3
Is the GPU upgradeable as advertised by DELL ?
That’s only the area 51m not m17 r3
What paste do u recommend for Alienware M17 R3 (i7-10750H) ?
Kryonaut is what I would use if I wasn't using liquid metal..

@@juststeve6296 Hi! and if liquid metal you prefer Grizzly Counductonaut ?
Have I seen it right that the RAM is soldered and not upgradable?
Ram and WiFi is soldered
@@pathfindercod4638 why are they doing it? Any conclusive idea? To make this laptop even less thicker? Less Temperature with better air flow?
Ram is soldered but m15 r3 has 16 and you can add 16 more so 32 is plenty. R2 on the other hand has soldered 8gb ram, now that sucks
Ashkandi how about the m17 r3?
@@Top_Dawg360 ram and WiFi is soldered on the r3 also
can you please link me the screw driver set you used for this process please?
Hey man! Can you do one for M17 R2 if you manage get your hands on one?
It's pretty similar, honestly. Just be really careful and watch hidden wires..
I heard ic diamond works best for the alienwares gunna try with mine when it arrives
How was it
Is the M15 R3 the exact same?
could you do a video of you removing the screen?
I no longer have this laptop.
Is the ram soldered
yes
Would this work on a m17 R2?
Ya, pretty much same setup.. Might be a few tiny different things but same concept.. Just pay attention and look for any wires or screws when you go to pull the motherboard out..
Is the RAM soldiered?
yes
Is there a spot to install a 970 pro ssd?

It's extremely easy!
