Tip #7, If you spent around $4000 to get a maxed out laptop with a 4090, 64GB of RAM and 4TB of SSD space, get extended warranty as well. I spilt some water on the keypad and had a mini heart attack. That extended warranty came in clutch and I got it fixed for free (There was no damage to the internal hardware, but the keys did become sticky because it was sugary water).
an important tip is, laptop keybaord can leave a mark on your screen, ive had a dell g15 and legion 5 both keyboard spaces left irremovable marks i highly suggestt when u close the lid always put a sheet of cloth between the screen and the keyboard
Tip #1: Please don't actually use your charger to prop up the back of your laptop. Most higher wattage chargers can get really toasty, and the last place you want to put it is under the laptop where the battery is actually located. Don't ever do that.
Exactly, I thought it's a bad advice when gaming and the charger pad really gets so HOT! Just use a thin and long book or anything that wouldn't make your laptop hot
I think you're being a little paranoid to be honest. Sure it's not ideal, and I said it's something I do in a pinch, I'm not out here recommending it, just making the point. Most people should just buy a stand. Also most laptops have the battery down the front.
@@JarrodsTech You should not have recommended it in a pinch because most people that watch this won't use common sense. Of course, I wouldn't do this with an aftermarket charger. Only with an OEM (Most of them stop charging if they overheat). Not that they normally do on a consistent basis. Unless they are covered. Even then as long as it's not for long periods you should be fine. You just got to use common sense like gaming on a bed blocking ventilation fans. Point is it's better than nothing. Also, if you look at the video, he put the corner of the charger under the laptop. Just enough to tilt it, Not the whole charger underneath the laptop. Think people!!!
Tip#8 : be careful about Tip#5. Make sure to backup your laptop frequently (make daily SSD images) especially prior to clicking the UPDATE NOW button. You may find yourself more unhappy than happy after the update ...
Tip from me- ALWAYS set an FPS limit... usually at the highest refresh-rate of your screen. It's made a massive difference to heat, on most games menus for EG, and on old Games too. I'm convinced an old game fried my old laptop because I found it rendering over 2,000 FPS & getting extremely hot... when all it needed was like 5% of that
good one i keep it as highest as 144hz which is what my display refresh rate is, and i limit it even further down to 35 fps when playing heavy AAA games
Bonus tip, avoid using less viscous paste like MX-4, Kryonaut, KPx, etc on a laptop as they're more prone to pumping-out effect. They're best used for desktop CPU that has an IHS. Honeywell PTM 7950 is currently the best choice for direct die cooling (laptop and discrete GPU) and you don't have to worry about it pumped out of the chip. But if you really want a thermal paste, then you should get those thicker one like MX-6, TF-9, TFX, CryoFuze, etc. Thicker paste are less prone to pump outs.
And most importantly NEVER overuse K5 Pro for the VRMs and GDDR Memory NANDs. Because that will cause a short if the overflowing K5 Pro has touched sensitive components and grounding area.
I'm actually looking to repaste my laptop soon. Looked up online and people mentioned regular paste will dry out pretty quick and also the pump out issue, so it's a no go for me since I don't want to do it regularly. People recommended the 7950, but I'm not sure where to find genuine ones (heard there are fakes out there). There's also kryosheet as well but that thing is expensive as hell. Two sheets for cpu+gpu is gonna run me like $25, which is twice the price of a tube of normal paste...
@@Summer-xu8qu the pricing of PTM7950 is around in the middle between kryosheet and premium paste. But the largest size (80x80mm) option is somewhat the same as kryosheet and carbonaut though. At least in my country, dunno about yours. If you often open up your laptop due to dust problems like me (I clean up my fans once every 6-8 months and I can't remove my laptop's fan without disassembling the whole cooling system), then I think you should prefer paste over PTM7950. Because it's kinda a waste to use PTM7950 in that circumstances, longevity is its strong point aside from good performance.
Tip7：Do not disassemble the back cover of your laptop to clean the dust before you are unsure and have not finished cleaning the static electricity. Make sure you read the disassembly process of this machine, clean up the static electricity, and disconnect the battery cables.
@@davidekilla8222 1. put the charger plug in 2. Remove your slippers 3. Stand on floor 4. Take a wet cloth and clean your motherboard 5. Congrats Static charge gone 💀
I gotta disagree with placing the laptop brick underneath the air intake. The radiating heat from the power brick gets sucked into the intakes. I learned that the hard way when I did just that to my Legion 5. No damage, though, but I hit thermal throttling way earlier than leaving my laptop on a flat desk.
That’s surprising, no need to put it fully under the back, just enough to rest on the edge of the brick with the rubber foot of the laptop gripping it. Works great on the 2021 Legion 5, not sure much has changed…
Jarrod, my G, you're a Godsend. I literally just ordered my Legion 5i Pro hours ago and was thinking what to do to ensure longevity. I have always been someone who couldn't be bothered to care for their stuff but this laptop means A LOT to me as this will be one of my most prized possessions. Just want to say, thank you for all you do and keep on providing us with this insane value.
Secret tip for updates: look for how well the update is. Don't update anything in the software before you know well enough you won't lose features you love/rely on a lot, the update is stable and overall worth it.
Tip for before purchasing, dont buy a dell g15 5520 rtx 3050ti i7 12700h, mine is at constant 100°c and i cant replace thermal paste without voiding warranty. Ive given my computer several times to my shop for several reasons such as bluescreening, overheating etc and they keep it for a month or so and nothing is fixed. They replace the unit so many times upto the point where i went from dell g15 5511 to 5520 with newer 12th gen i7 over 11th gen but nothing fixed and no fps gain
I got this neat plastic cover for my laptop and it keeps stuff from going inside the keys. Highly recommended it. Only issue I have is it kinda weird to get use to but it helps a lot keeping your laptop does. :)
If you have the option to, keep your GPU off and your CPU in the lowest mode as often as possible. Only use the GPU and higher modes on your CPU when you need to.
Basic but invaluable tips for the avesage gamer. Batteries on the larger and more powerful gaming laptips are really for supplementary/standby use pnly.
My tip: If you’re using the laptop with an external monitor select “only show on Monitor 2” this will spare your laptop from expending unnecessary energy which will help it live longer and more healthy 😊
Hi Jarrod! Will you make a dedicated video on how to boost FPS and performance on Gaming laptops (tips, nvidia settings, windows settings, background apps etc) better screen settings, and on how to extend your battery life. Because such videos do not exist when it comes to gaming laptops!
that is indeed a very dangerous tip, Gaming Laptop Chargers heat up quite a lot and need to be kept away from area where they can even cause burns. (like my Razer and Asus ones used to heat up soo bad I had to keep them beside cool walls to absorb the heat)
Honeywell PTM7950. That's all you need. And reducing the CPU clocks _without_ disabling Turbo Boost (from 4.5GHz to 3.5GHz, if the CPU base clock is 2.7GHz).
@@Reaversword3D PTM7950 has the best performance out of all TIMs like thermal pastes and carbon pads (all go on the CPUs and CPU/GPU dies, it doesn't replace the need for VRAM thermal pads or thermal putty). The only other TIM that's better is liquid metal - but the margin is only around 2-4C compared to ~10-15C on thermal pastes, and the difficulty of applying and maintaining liquid metal makes it almost impossible for laptop manufacturers or laptop users to apply it well without some catastrophic outcomes, which I experienced myself (I'm glad the laptop I serviced still works, I was extra cautious when removing factory liquid metal on an Asus ROG laptop which spilled away and breached the first line of defense and caused CPU stability problems due to shorting the SMD components on the AMD CPU). Thus it means that PTM7950 is 7-10C better than all newly applied thermal pastes. What is more, both thermal pastes and liquid metal all have limited service life of around 1-1.5 years on gaming laptops (yes, there's a reason why I had to service a laptop with liquid metal applied from factory). PTM7950 has a service life starting from 2 years but can be left unmaintained up until the laptop breaks after 10-15 years, with hardly any performance degradation. This is because PTM7950 (not PTM7950SP, which requires extra steps to apply properly) does not suffer from the pump-out effect, nor does it dry up like pastes, because it doesn't have silicon, which thermal pastes do. There's a tutorial on Major Geeks website about reducing the "maximum processor frequency" setting in Windows' Control Panel, which would let you fine-tune the CPu clocks downwards to improve efficiency and decrease the heat, without effectively halving your performance per core by turning off Turbo Boost and having your CPU only reaching the base clock speed, which is usually too low.
Use doorstops to elevate back side of the laptop, they usually have a "dry glue" that will attach perfectly to your computer without damaging it if you remove it. Don't close the screen as you see in the movies/series, take 3 or 4 seconds to do it, and avoid color lines appear Don't close your laptop when you're done if you don't gonna travel or move from your home Let your battery load at 60% or so as maximum, with the option in your laptop software (if you use it usually plugged to the wall) Clean it.
I have a Lenovo Legion 5 with Plastic Body. It was in a padded laptop bag and in my thick military backpack with clothes arround it. I went by train 6 hours 2 times a week. An one day just randomly I got it out of my backpack and the screen looked like it was broken directly in the middle. Warranty didnt paid, Lenovo Customer Care absolutely bad. Costed me arround 300+€. There was absolutely no external damage to be seen. I learned that I will never buy a plastic laptop anymore if maybe a tiny bit of force can break it so easily.
Contrary to what this video suggests, if you have your laptop working and performing as desired, don't update anything. Updates are more likely to cause problems and performance issues than fix anything.
This can be a valid point, but personally, I never experienced that. Moreover, I heard some conspiracy about newer nVidia drivers slowing down the old GPUs. When I cared to check, the newer drivers improved the performance. Seen that multiple times.
I recently upgraded to a new gaming laptop and now I have a feeling that the old one is trying to kill me in my sleep. Probably coz I was not aware of tip # 6. I kid you not! I still hear sounds at night from the closet where I have locked it. If only this video was uploaded sooner....
3:01 the stutter in cyberpunk with advanced optimus was real. FINALLY this has been fixed. I thought it might have been a hardware issue with my laptop
Some tricks for dust management from a former writer for the MacGyver series…Buy one of those cheap pine magazine crates that some people like to use as speaker stands and stretch some xtra xtra large pantyhose over it and then modify it in a way so that you can set the laptop on the top of the pantyhose but still have a solid foundation so that it’s not just dangling on the pantyhose like a circus trapeze artist who fell on the safety net.
Haha, this is perfect. I'm finally getting a gaming laptop after at least a hundred years of deciding. It was stupid expensive so I want to make sure it lasts as long as possible.
Bios update killed my rtx 3070 legion 7, fried motherboard. They didn’t accept my return. Repair (new motherboard + work) costs the same as a new rtx 4060 laptop with the same power... Never again updating my bios...
Tip 7 Use better thermal paste, i use artic mx6 . depends on certain game , temp drop between 10-5c Tip 8 use a cooler. I just bought iets 500 n manage to reduce temp around 10-5c combining iets 500 n artic mx6 .my cpu temp in gaming is around 60-80 . Yes as low as 60c in certain game

i have the lenovo legion slip 5 and ive never seen 30C on a laptop until this one, even on quiet mode i dont go over 45C while web browsing powerful, a lot of the time its on sale and i got a free upgrade, good cooling, honestly would recommend if you can get it, even from a clearance store which mine is from they work great
With all this new content you've been making about new laptops, I was looking for a how to setup a new gaming laptop, with general tips and some specific manufacturer quirks. Like uninstall lenovo vantage and get lenovo toolkit is something I saw.
I aggree. My Asus TUF A17 (2022) was in the first 1-1,5 year a freezing, ssd killer hot pc. After they replaced in warranty time the ssd, I sent it back 2 more times with instability issues. When I got it back last time, they could not do anithing, but in the background a new BIOS arrived. I updated it and all my problems dissapeared. So I suggest not to buy right after release, and they do optimizing still after release. So possibly stability is best from release +1 year. This is my experience.
i would like to ask a question i am looking forward to buying a gaming laptop which one you prefer ? 1 - i7 13700HX with 4060 5200SAR 2 - i9 14900h with 4070 6500SAR 3 - i7 13620h with 4060 6100SAR 4- i7 12700h with 3070 5200SAR 5 - i7 12650h 4070 5200SAR thanks for attention
well, if they can sell gaming laptops with the option to not have the battery, this will dramatically open up so much more space for cooling components
@@prasant6533 even if u remove the battery, its still much more portable than moving your whole desktop. i could have said too, what's the point of the battery since the gpu is gonna milk it dry fast either way
@@prasant6533 are you familiar with "desktop replacements" I'd argue what's the point of an 8 pound device that's 1.6 feet diagonally, and has terrible battery life being a laptop then?
gamers, disable your boost behaviour (guides can be found online) when not gaming or even light gaming. chances are it will lower your fps or system smoothness by slightly noticable but temps will go down to 40 - 50 degree celcius
My personal advice: - Use your gaming laptop like a Desktop. If you use it like a laptop, you will inevitably age it and break it faster. What I mean is keep it in your office/room on a desk and only use it there. - Clean it regularely. Use pro air can to blow out the dust and crap. And use an alcohol wipe to remove the dirt. - Finally, a laptop in general is way more fragile than a desktop because in a desktop you can change individual parts. Understand that a gaming laptop is basically an expensive luxury that will last you less long than a desktop. - Finally if you really want to extend the life of a gaming laptop, use an external mouse and keyboard. Much of the wear of a laptop can be drastically decreased by not actually using the mouse pad and keyboard, and connecting external ones (which are often better anyway, I use a Razer mouse and keyboard).
i am more concerned about the battery since i play games a lot, i bought a new gaming laptop about 2 weeks ago and already i am worried about the battery
Should have included undervolting the cpu in the list. I undervolted my cpu (core i7 9750H) and saw upto 15C temperature drops without losing performance.
Is it safe to override the default voltage settings? and how do you know how much undervolting is required without degrading your performance? Do you have to experiment after tweaking voltages a bit?
@@tanmaybam By doing this u will get performance drops in game. Also not necessary this will drop the temperature or not as this method works on some processors and not works in some processors.
Tipp: NEVER push air activly from the outside and let the fans Spin. They will Produce electricity and can damage the insides. Hold them with your fingers while cleaning.
Tips to make your laptop last for many years: 1. Always clean the screen with a microfiber cloth. Don't spray the screen cleaner directly onto the screen, instead, spray it on the cloth. Don't clean the screen or the laptop's body with your T-shirt or a rough cloth, that'll leave scratches. Always use a microfiber cloth for cleaning. Clean the laptop once a week, don't do it regularly. Don't use water to clean the laptop. 2. Clean the fans and change the thermal paste once in 6 months or once a year. Disconnect the battery before cleaning the fans, otherwise, you'll fry the motherboard. 3. Always put your laptop on a cooling pad. 4. Don't turn the laptop on and off many times a day. twice a day is ideal. 5. Even if your gpu is capable of getting 100fps, even gaming at 60fps will give you the best experience, this way, the gpu will be cooler. Always check the temp. Temp is more important than the framerate. 6. If your laptop is expensive and you bought it as a desktop replacement, don't ever take it out with you. You never know what happens. 7. If you own legion, always set the battery to be on conservation mode. This will extend the lifespan of the battery 8. Always handle it with care as if it's a baby. As Jarrod said, open the laptop from the middle and treat it well.
4. why? seems very random to say that twice a day is an ideal number of restarts a day. it really shouldnt affect the laptop 6. if i bought a laptop as a desktop replacement, im going to bring it with me lmao. if i didnt want to bring it anywhere id get a pre built desktop, its the whole point of a laptop
@@fatperson1152 The whole point of having a laptop is only portability? Are you sure buddy? laptop 4060=desktop 4060 which is something between the desktop 3060ti and the desktop 3070 or same as the desktop 2080 in raw performance(when you enable FG+DLSS3, performance of the 4060 gets as powerful as the desktop 3070 or far better than the desktop 2080 when FG enabled, for a person like me who's only into single player games and offline games, it's a W) while the desktop gpus consume so much power and in my country 4060 laptops are pretty affordable while 2k monitors cost an arm and a leg(at least 500-600$), desktop 3070 alone costs at least 800$ here, in some countries it's 600$, the 3070 that doesn't support FG and consumes too much power. I own Lenovo Legion slim 5i rtx 4060 140w(in games it reaches upto 130w as well when overclocked so stop listening to the medias) i7 13700H 2TB nvme gen 4 32GB ddr5(5200) 16" 2560x1600p 100%srgb and let me tell you what, I don't feel like "I have a laptop but not a powerful desktop" at all. Even on intel iris(its igpu) I tried rdr2 at 1600p medium settings and I get 30fps-45fps, in gta v at 1600p I get 60fps at very high settings also you can play many modern games at medium settings average on the igpu which is as powerful as the 1050 gpu which means if you wanna save so much battery, go a head and game on the igpu, if you're home, plug it in and enjoy the full power 4060 and play everything at 1600p/ultra and temp never goes above 65c when gaming and playing most demanding games on the dgpu at ultra and it's usually between 55c-65c thanks to the great cooling of legion. We're in 21st century my man. It's 2023.
@@InsidePlay2023that's a whole lot of nothing you spout out to the point he pointed out that what's the use of having a portable device if one can't take it out to school or work or at friends or something.
I personally also have 1 SSD with the stock configuration on the side. In the past, when my pc would become unstable or worse I would get a problem with driver compatibility (black screen of death windows 7 for example) I would just swap the ssd, clone the SSD again on the problematic ssd. This was much faster than reinstalling windows and then trying to remember what driver was the one working with your 5 year old capture card, how did you get that windows 98 game to work or other things like that. Best part about this trick is that the OS ssd does not need to be large, so price wise it is a very small cost.
Hey Jarrod!. We all know that the most anticipated game is Gta 6, for which the trailer is gonna be released this coming Tuesday, 9:00 ET. I really think you should think about creating a video for the same based upon it's visuals, graphics and try to figure out the Minimum and recommended PC specification according to your expertise. I know its too much to ask for creating a video by just looking at a game trailer, but this would help a lot of gamers around the world to pick the right laptop that could support GTA 6.
I laughed myself to the floor on Tip # 6… impressive stuff. But in my country, Tip #2 will void your warranty, just because they place warranty stickers on one of the screws.
Yeah, it sucks that each brands have different policies about the warranty sticker / factory seal on each country. My country's MSi is like that as well, they treat a factory seal to be the same as a warranty sticker that will be voided if broken. Funny enough, I've watched some MSi laptop review video that the youtuber is living in Germany but they don't have this factory seal bs that voids the warranty.
I was playing Horizon Forbidden West lag free at 60 fps and then uninstalled it. After about a month when I got back to it my games were lagging and I didn't know why. Thought it was thermal throttling and so called up customer care. They told me to update my BIOS after which everything was lag free again. Henceforth, I will never underestimate how important the BIOS updates are.
heat doesnt kill laptop, laptop saves itsfelf by lowering performance so you will only see lowwer fps. worst case scenario is that your laptop will shut down when it gets too hot
I turned OFF my CPU turbo boost which brought CPU temps down from high 90s to mid 80s. No noticeable drop in performance since most games barely utilize the CPU.
Been using a samsung i3 5th gen and 4gb ram for gaming for over 9 years of intense gaming use, modeling 3d/texturing and audio/video stuff, after 7th year just upgraded ram and orginal battery, and still usable in 2024 perfectly! The pc is ugly cause the heat broke the plastics of the hinges, but now its retired. Not gonna sell or give away my champ
I came here for charging tips and came out confused. You said to plug in every time possible, but keeping it fully charged all the time is not good either? So what's a good cycle to keep your battery healthy?

If you often open up your laptop due to dust problems like me (I clean up my fans once every 6-8 months and I can't remove my laptop's fan without disassembling the whole cooling system), then I think you should prefer paste over PTM7950.
Because it's kinda a waste to use PTM7950 in that circumstances, longevity is its strong point aside from good performance.
Gelid GC extreme is an equally Viscous yet cheaper option, works great for my lappy.
Tip7：Do not disassemble the back cover of your laptop to clean the dust before you are unsure and have not finished cleaning the static electricity. Make sure you read the disassembly process of this machine, clean up the static electricity, and disconnect the battery cables.

1. put the charger plug in
2. Remove your slippers

4. Take a wet cloth and clean your motherboard
5. Congrats Static charge gone 💀
I gotta disagree with placing the laptop brick underneath the air intake. The radiating heat from the power brick gets sucked into the intakes. I learned that the hard way when I did just that to my Legion 5. No damage, though, but I hit thermal throttling way earlier than leaving my laptop on a flat desk.
That’s surprising, no need to put it fully under the back, just enough to rest on the edge of the brick with the rubber foot of the laptop gripping it. Works great on the 2021 Legion 5, not sure much has changed…
Tip #9 always wash your hands before using laptop, and your keyboard will be clean
Washing ones hands before anything is a must….. gross 🤢
@@Puppy_Puppington how is washing hands gross?
Or buy a keyboard cover?
@@lordofsloth5139 yeah that helps too :) but I'd still wash my hands all the time, the keyboard gets greasy pretty fast

Jarrod, my G, you're a Godsend. I literally just ordered my Legion 5i Pro hours ago and was thinking what to do to ensure longevity. I have always been someone who couldn't be bothered to care for their stuff but this laptop means A LOT to me as this will be one of my most prized possessions. Just want to say, thank you for all you do and keep on providing us with this insane value.
Further to point 1, consider undervolting

I always make sure my ROG G17 sleeps at right time, so usually we do bed time stories before he sleeps. 😊 ( for extra fps the next day)
I thought i was weird for talking and sometimes whispering to my laptop, thanks for proving me wrong, jarrod ❤️
I do it too. Upon first boot of the day, and when shutting down, and when we win while playing.
Secret tip for updates: look for how well the update is. Don't update anything in the software before you know well enough you won't lose features you love/rely on a lot, the update is stable and overall worth it.

Tip for before purchasing, dont buy a dell g15 5520 rtx 3050ti i7 12700h, mine is at constant 100°c and i cant replace thermal paste without voiding warranty. Ive given my computer several times to my shop for several reasons such as bluescreening, overheating etc and they keep it for a month or so and nothing is fixed. They replace the unit so many times upto the point where i went from dell g15 5511 to 5520 with newer 12th gen i7 over 11th gen but nothing fixed and no fps gain
Good advice. I still game on my bed, I just prop up my laptop with a book. Works great. Cool temps and super comfy👍🏻
I got this neat plastic cover for my laptop and it keeps stuff from going inside the keys.
Highly recommended it.
Only issue I have is it kinda weird to get use to but it helps a lot keeping your laptop does. :)
If you have the option to, keep your GPU off and your CPU in the lowest mode as often as possible. Only use the GPU and higher modes on your CPU when you need to.
Basic but invaluable tips for the avesage gamer. Batteries on the larger and more powerful gaming laptips are really for supplementary/standby use pnly.
My tip: If you’re using the laptop with an external monitor select “only show on Monitor 2” this will spare your laptop from expending unnecessary energy which will help it live longer and more healthy 😊
Nah, I prefer to have extended desktop (2 screens)
Hi Jarrod! Will you make a dedicated video on how to boost FPS and performance on Gaming laptops (tips, nvidia settings, windows settings, background apps etc) better screen settings, and on how to extend your battery life. Because such videos do not exist when it comes to gaming laptops!
Hi Jarrod, at 0:46 isn't it more dangerous to stick the charger to the laptop base which gives more heat and screws up them all?!?
the charger is at bigger risk than the laptop imo.
the edge of the charger he meant by showing that, dont keep the laptop on the charger but just wedge the charge just enough to prop laptop up
that is indeed a very dangerous tip, Gaming Laptop Chargers heat up quite a lot and need to be kept away from area where they can even cause burns.
(like my Razer and Asus ones used to heat up soo bad I had to keep them beside cool walls to absorb the heat)
@@virgo3368 yeah both gets hot simultaneously affecting each other, it should be an irony or joke like tip 6 :)
yeah, what a terrible advice
Honeywell PTM7950. That's all you need. And reducing the CPU clocks _without_ disabling Turbo Boost (from 4.5GHz to 3.5GHz, if the CPU base clock is 2.7GHz).
How?
ye tell me too@@Reaversword3D
@@Reaversword3D PTM7950 has the best performance out of all TIMs like thermal pastes and carbon pads (all go on the CPUs and CPU/GPU dies, it doesn't replace the need for VRAM thermal pads or thermal putty). The only other TIM that's better is liquid metal - but the margin is only around 2-4C compared to ~10-15C on thermal pastes, and the difficulty of applying and maintaining liquid metal makes it almost impossible for laptop manufacturers or laptop users to apply it well without some catastrophic outcomes, which I experienced myself (I'm glad the laptop I serviced still works, I was extra cautious when removing factory liquid metal on an Asus ROG laptop which spilled away and breached the first line of defense and caused CPU stability problems due to shorting the SMD components on the AMD CPU).
Thus it means that PTM7950 is 7-10C better than all newly applied thermal pastes. What is more, both thermal pastes and liquid metal all have limited service life of around 1-1.5 years on gaming laptops (yes, there's a reason why I had to service a laptop with liquid metal applied from factory). PTM7950 has a service life starting from 2 years but can be left unmaintained up until the laptop breaks after 10-15 years, with hardly any performance degradation. This is because PTM7950 (not PTM7950SP, which requires extra steps to apply properly) does not suffer from the pump-out effect, nor does it dry up like pastes, because it doesn't have silicon, which thermal pastes do.
There's a tutorial on Major Geeks website about reducing the "maximum processor frequency" setting in Windows' Control Panel, which would let you fine-tune the CPu clocks downwards to improve efficiency and decrease the heat, without effectively halving your performance per core by turning off Turbo Boost and having your CPU only reaching the base clock speed, which is usually too low.
Do You recommend to reinstall everything (windows, drivers, etc) as soon as you buy a gaming laptop to remove unwanted bloatware?
yes if you know what are you doing
id say wait a month to make sure everything is ok in case you need to return it
Also make sure to uninstall all the bloat which companies bundle unnecessary ( including Microsoft bloat)
Lenovo loq have vRam tempature problem( 106°C on gaming you check gpu z or hwinfo)
Use doorstops to elevate back side of the laptop, they usually have a "dry glue" that will attach perfectly to your computer without damaging it if you remove it.
Don't close the screen as you see in the movies/series, take 3 or 4 seconds to do it, and avoid color lines appear
Don't close your laptop when you're done if you don't gonna travel or move from your home
Let your battery load at 60% or so as maximum, with the option in your laptop software (if you use it usually plugged to the wall)
Clean it.
In place of close the laptop, use a piece of fabric to cover it
Tip:10: RGB gives 15% Fps Boost & better heat menagment! 😊 ✌️
I have a Lenovo Legion 5 with Plastic Body. It was in a padded laptop bag and in my thick military backpack with clothes arround it. I went by train 6 hours 2 times a week. An one day just randomly I got it out of my backpack and the screen looked like it was broken directly in the middle. Warranty didnt paid, Lenovo Customer Care absolutely bad. Costed me arround 300+€. There was absolutely no external damage to be seen. I learned that I will never buy a plastic laptop anymore if maybe a tiny bit of force can break it so easily.
Contrary to what this video suggests, if you have your laptop working and performing as desired, don't update anything. Updates are more likely to cause problems and performance issues than fix anything.
This can be a valid point, but personally, I never experienced that. Moreover, I heard some conspiracy about newer nVidia drivers slowing down the old GPUs. When I cared to check, the newer drivers improved the performance. Seen that multiple times.
I recently upgraded to a new gaming laptop and now I have a feeling that the old one is trying to kill me in my sleep. Probably coz I was not aware of tip # 6. I kid you not! I still hear sounds at night from the closet where I have locked it. If only this video was uploaded sooner....

3:01 the stutter in cyberpunk with advanced optimus was real. FINALLY this has been fixed. I thought it might have been a hardware issue with my laptop
Some tricks for dust management from a former writer for the MacGyver series…Buy one of those cheap pine magazine crates that some people like to use as speaker stands and stretch some xtra xtra large pantyhose over it and then modify it in a way so that you can set the laptop on the top of the pantyhose but still have a solid foundation so that it’s not just dangling on the pantyhose like a circus trapeze artist who fell on the safety net.
The bonus tip actually made my game fps from 1 to 2. Thanks Jarrod!
Haha, this is perfect. I'm finally getting a gaming laptop after at least a hundred years of deciding. It was stupid expensive so I want to make sure it lasts as long as possible.
Bios update killed my rtx 3070 legion 7, fried motherboard. They didn’t accept my return. Repair (new motherboard + work) costs the same as a new rtx 4060 laptop with the same power... Never again updating my bios...
Tip 7
Use better thermal paste, i use artic mx6 . depends on certain game , temp drop between 10-5c
Tip 8 use a cooler. I just bought iets 500 n manage to reduce temp around 10-5c combining iets 500 n artic mx6 .my cpu temp in gaming is around 60-80 . Yes as low as 60c in certain game
I can't believe people still use thermal paste. So many stuck in the old times.
@@TheGreyLineMatters though they're obviously not as good as PTM 7950, thick pastes like mx6 or tfx are still a decent choice for direct die cooling.

With all this new content you've been making about new laptops, I was looking for a how to setup a new gaming laptop, with general tips and some specific manufacturer quirks. Like uninstall lenovo vantage and get lenovo toolkit is something I saw.
I aggree. My Asus TUF A17 (2022) was in the first 1-1,5 year a freezing, ssd killer hot pc. After they replaced in warranty time the ssd, I sent it back 2 more times with instability issues. When I got it back last time, they could not do anithing, but in the background a new BIOS arrived. I updated it and all my problems dissapeared. So I suggest not to buy right after release, and they do optimizing still after release. So possibly stability is best from release +1 year. This is my experience.
tip # 69: download ram in the internet for more performance.
i would like to ask a question
i am looking forward to buying a gaming laptop
which one you prefer ?
1 - i7 13700HX with 4060 5200SAR
2 - i9 14900h with 4070 6500SAR

well, if they can sell gaming laptops with the option to not have the battery, this will dramatically open up so much more space for cooling components
what's the point of being a laptop then? 💀

Bonus Tips! Always use external keyboard. Key on laptop keyboard usually the 1st thing to degrade.
I lost my asus tuf because i didnt allow air ventilation bought a new gaming laptop. Will keep this tips in mind.
I have a friend who owns a PC. He says "ah there's no need to update the drivers." After some back and forth with him, I never talked with him again.
I automatically liked the video as soon as I saw the thumbnail. You just know what I need, Jarrod.
gamers, disable your boost behaviour (guides can be found online) when not gaming or even light gaming. chances are it will lower your fps or system smoothness by slightly noticable but temps will go down to 40 - 50 degree celcius
Thanks manh! I'll make sure to whisper those kind words of encouragement to my laptop every night before bedtime.
Leave space for vents
Clean regularly
Keep charger connected whenever possible
Avoid physical damage
Keep softwares updated
Positive affirmations
Finally saw Jarrod's bedroom. 🥵
A hot power supply near the designed intake for cold air? Rather glue-on foldable feet or a book that doesn't block the vent openings.
The way he looked at the camera after advising to give words of encouragement I can't 😂😂
My personal advice:
- Use your gaming laptop like a Desktop. If you use it like a laptop, you will inevitably age it and break it faster. What I mean is keep it in your office/room on a desk and only use it there.
- Clean it regularely. Use pro air can to blow out the dust and crap. And use an alcohol wipe to remove the dirt.
- Finally, a laptop in general is way more fragile than a desktop because in a desktop you can change individual parts. Understand that a gaming laptop is basically an expensive luxury that will last you less long than a desktop.
- Finally if you really want to extend the life of a gaming laptop, use an external mouse and keyboard. Much of the wear of a laptop can be drastically decreased by not actually using the mouse pad and keyboard, and connecting external ones (which are often better anyway, I use a Razer mouse and keyboard).
Tip number 1 is actually more important for gaming laptops with plastic body and cover. Because overtime they will become brittle.

Should have included undervolting the cpu in the list. I undervolted my cpu (core i7 9750H) and saw upto 15C temperature drops without losing performance.

Tipp: NEVER push air activly from the outside and let the fans Spin. They will Produce electricity and can damage the insides. Hold them with your fingers while cleaning.
Tips to make your laptop last for many years:
1. Always clean the screen with a microfiber cloth. Don't spray the screen cleaner directly onto the screen, instead, spray it on the cloth. Don't clean the screen or the laptop's body with your T-shirt or a rough cloth, that'll leave scratches. Always use a microfiber cloth for cleaning. Clean the laptop once a week, don't do it regularly. Don't use water to clean the laptop.
2. Clean the fans and change the thermal paste once in 6 months or once a year. Disconnect the battery before cleaning the fans, otherwise, you'll fry the motherboard.
3. Always put your laptop on a cooling pad.
4. Don't turn the laptop on and off many times a day. twice a day is ideal.
5. Even if your gpu is capable of getting 100fps, even gaming at 60fps will give you the best experience, this way, the gpu will be cooler. Always check the temp. Temp is more important than the framerate.
6. If your laptop is expensive and you bought it as a desktop replacement, don't ever take it out with you. You never know what happens.
7. If you own legion, always set the battery to be on conservation mode. This will extend the lifespan of the battery
8. Always handle it with care as if it's a baby. As Jarrod said, open the laptop from the middle and treat it well.
4. why? seems very random to say that twice a day is an ideal number of restarts a day. it really shouldnt affect the laptop
6. if i bought a laptop as a desktop replacement, im going to bring it with me lmao. if i didnt want to bring it anywhere id get a pre built desktop, its the whole point of a laptop
@@fatperson1152 The whole point of having a laptop is only portability? Are you sure buddy? laptop 4060=desktop 4060 which is something between the desktop 3060ti and the desktop 3070 or same as the desktop 2080 in raw performance(when you enable FG+DLSS3, performance of the 4060 gets as powerful as the desktop 3070 or far better than the desktop 2080 when FG enabled, for a person like me who's only into single player games and offline games, it's a W) while the desktop gpus consume so much power and in my country 4060 laptops are pretty affordable while 2k monitors cost an arm and a leg(at least 500-600$), desktop 3070 alone costs at least 800$ here, in some countries it's 600$, the 3070 that doesn't support FG and consumes too much power. I own Lenovo Legion slim 5i rtx 4060 140w(in games it reaches upto 130w as well when overclocked so stop listening to the medias) i7 13700H 2TB nvme gen 4 32GB ddr5(5200) 16" 2560x1600p 100%srgb and let me tell you what, I don't feel like "I have a laptop but not a powerful desktop" at all. Even on intel iris(its igpu) I tried rdr2 at 1600p medium settings and I get 30fps-45fps, in gta v at 1600p I get 60fps at very high settings also you can play many modern games at medium settings average on the igpu which is as powerful as the 1050 gpu which means if you wanna save so much battery, go a head and game on the igpu, if you're home, plug it in and enjoy the full power 4060 and play everything at 1600p/ultra and temp never goes above 65c when gaming and playing most demanding games on the dgpu at ultra and it's usually between 55c-65c thanks to the great cooling of legion.

I personally also have 1 SSD with the stock configuration on the side.
In the past, when my pc would become unstable or worse I would get a problem with driver compatibility (black screen of death windows 7 for example) I would just swap the ssd, clone the SSD again on the problematic ssd.
This was much faster than reinstalling windows and then trying to remember what driver was the one working with your 5 year old capture card, how did you get that windows 98 game to work or other things like that.
Best part about this trick is that the OS ssd does not need to be large, so price wise it is a very small cost.

But in my country, Tip #2 will void your warranty, just because they place warranty stickers on one of the screws.
Yeah, it sucks that each brands have different policies about the warranty sticker / factory seal on each country. My country's MSi is like that as well, they treat a factory seal to be the same as a warranty sticker that will be voided if broken. Funny enough, I've watched some MSi laptop review video that the youtuber is living in Germany but they don't have this factory seal bs that voids the warranty.

I was playing Horizon Forbidden West lag free at 60 fps and then uninstalled it. After about a month when I got back to it my games were lagging and I didn't know why. Thought it was thermal throttling and so called up customer care. They told me to update my BIOS after which everything was lag free again. Henceforth, I will never underestimate how important the BIOS updates are.
heat doesnt kill laptop, laptop saves itsfelf by lowering performance so you will only see lowwer fps. worst case scenario is that your laptop will shut down when it gets too hot
I turned OFF my CPU turbo boost which brought CPU temps down from high 90s to mid 80s. No noticeable drop in performance since most games barely utilize the CPU.
thanks but i didnt understand the cooling thing laptops already heat very quickly even if you use a extra fan underneath

Plug in the charger even though the battery is full 100% all the time can also make the battery leak isn't it?
