@@salfred5928 yes it can't void warranty unless in the process some other problem happens. Now sometime later I will do kryonaut repaste or any other best thermal paste in market
Balkeet007 ok thanx for all:) i will go for it also, and will update a video with all process and if it helped me in the temps:) just can you recommend me a good thermal paste and with what to clean the old one with alcohol or something? thanx
@@salfred5928 I used nail paint remover, earbuds, tissue paper to wipe clean the CPU, GPU n heat sink surface. For thermal paste you can use kryonaut, NT-h2, NT-h1, mx-4. No need to remove fans n their connector. I tried removing battery connector but its too tight so skipped removing it too. Before applying paste practice heat sink placement, I did 10-15 time shadow practice. After placing heatsink there should be no movement, just gently tighten the screws. No need to close the bottom cover for testing temperature, after testing in game temperature close bottom cover. A good guide here from Jarrod th-cam.com/video/pzRfD5iYyRM/w-d-xo.html

We can remove SATA case and heat protector to reduce the weight. Laptop weight loss by 500 grams ? The manufactor could change the hinge to be like HP omen at center and have magnesium / aluminium case, reduce the weight to below 2kgs. How is this plastic laptop heavier than Triton 500 built of aluminium / magnesium ?

Hello! I have problem with my y540. When I enter any game, it gets hot at charging port and it just stops charging (charging port checked at repair shop and they said charging port is not a problem). Should I try remove battery and test it without battery?
Vishal Katara hi:) i think yes i dont see why not, also i know its up to 2tb ( dont sure if only for ssd up to 2tb or ssd+hdd) so i think its ok 1tb ssd+ 1tb hdd
if it’s this laptop, i have the same one and i could run fortnite at around 200 fps, try changing your video settings and make sure they aren’t all at epic, put them all on low then if u want change a few of them, or if that doesn’t work change your frame rate limit
Most likely you haven't plugged in the laptop. It is very important to do so otherwise the laptop will start throttling after it is reduced to battery power. Even if your laptop has a lot of dust only the fans should be loud and your laptop would be hot, but it would not reduce your performance to the level where you can't even run fortnite at 60. If it's not that, probably a lot of background apps are open which causes it to utilize less ram.
Also, how is the battery on this? For normal chrome at 50% brightness with the lighting turned off? Also, using the integrated GPU for these tasks by using the Hybrid Mode?
Prashant Goyal hi:) i almost never use the battery but i can say that from all tests i have made its for Normal use up to 4+- hours Heavier like games 1-2 i did the hybrid mode also and it was at normal up to 4+- hours:) ** i know that you can get also up to 7 hours when downclocking the cpu. + undervolting + limiting processor to 40% usage on Throttlestop Software thanx to @AÏA :) (i didnt tried it)
@@salfred5928 limiting the processor to 40% usage, isn't it taking too far 😂. I will be satisfied with only 5 hours of backup. It think the hybrid mode + undervolting would work fine
Prashant Goyal yeah ok i told you from tests i have made its 4+- hours, never got more then that. The 40% limit was made by some user and he told me it worked fine cuz he wanted to take the laptop to school for writing all day, so i didnt made that but i know its possible:)
