Asus ROG Strix G15 Advantage Lets Redo the Liquid Metal & Increase The Mounting Pressure

Күн бұрын

What's up everybody I got another Asus ROG Strix G15 Advantage video for you guys today. This time I attempted to get some better cooing by redoing the LM and adding some washers for better mounting pressure. Unfortunately, things did not go as planned and I did not get better performance so I honestly wouldn't recommend doing this unless you're very tech-savvy and understand the risks. Plus understand it might not help like what happened to me. Though I will say idle temps are way better. But if you feel like giving it a shot let me know your results. I still wanted to show how to do it to for anyone interested. If you have any questions or requests of course feel free to ask.

Idk if you will see this message but I tried some things with cooling of this laptop and best thing is to: 1.Put very very thin layer of liquid metal on cpu and cooling since pressure on cpu is way better than on gpu so more metal makes worse temperatures 2. Use K5 Pro or any other thermal grease on VRMs (thin 1-1.5mm layer) 3. Use GELID Ultimate thermal Pads 0.5mm or any other 0.5 mm pads with good performance on GPU Vrams 4. Put way more metal on GPU than on CPU on die and cooling side since pressure here is way worse so to fill gap between die and cooling we use more liquid metal (cant look like river tho) :D After this I have 82-84degrees max on CPU and 74 on gpu core,78 on memory and hotspot max is 81-82 degrees only. Would be cool if any of you would like this comment and try if you have this laptop ofc then write your results here 🙂

I noticed that the #3 manual fan curve preset still allows for higher fan speeds then the turbo preset. No performance loss with cpu temps at 85c instead of 95c, and gpu at 85c and tjmax of 95c consistently even after hours of gameplay, in mw II at least.

@Scale_Hardwarebox Жыл бұрын

@@XxViciousxX This is also a reason why I do not recommend thermal pads. Since the contact pressure of the cooler changes, there may not be any real pressure on the CPU and GPU and thermal throttling may occur. From my own experience I experienced this with my gl702zc. I have removed the blue thermal paste that Asus uses as standard in their laptops and replaced it with thermal pads. I always had problems with micro stuttering and my cpu performance wasn't very good either. After I removed the pads and replaced them with k5 pro thermal paste, there are no more drops in performance and my cpu (r7 1700) is on desktop level in the cb23 benchmark.👍

@@XxViciousxX It is best to use a thermal paste that is viscous. With k5 pro you have the advantage that it does not start to become liquid even under great heat. The application is not so easy because the paste is almost like chewing gum. But with a spatula it works quite well. When applying it is important that you first apply a 1mm thick layer, e.g. on the voltage converters, and then another drop on the middle which is again 1mm high. As soon as you mount the cooler, the paste compresses to the right thickness and you have perfect heat transfer.

Even tried PTM which got closest to stock temps but still no cigar. Still going to try again maybe go back to LM and just keep retrying. Seems getting LM perfectly applied is harder on a CPU and GPU than just the raw die of a CPU (de-lided a bunch of CPUs in the past and never had an issue with my application) but I think I'm just failing on the LM application for whatever reason.

The issue with the laptop is not the thermal paste but the fin stack density. I have this laptop (for absolute best performance it is not that great, but for on the go gaming and battery life its a monster) and the liquid metal transfers heat amazingly to the vapor chamber, but the vapor chamber heat transfer to the fin stack via heatpipes (not to mention the very small fin stacks) is where the cooling has a problem. The other point is that heat density for single core applications is insane. That is from where most 95C temps come from. On manual mode you can get multi core games down to 67C by limiting the CPU to 20W. But that 20W will still get to 95C on a single core. I tested this laptop with both a laptop cooler, a vacum cooler, air conditioning, in summer and winter (summer 30C, winter -10C). It always hit 95C, even in silent mode (most commonly when "loading" a game). I even had this crazy idea to plug my custom watercooling loop to the laptop to see if the laptop would benefit from something like a XMG Oasis (I know you cannot install it on the Adv. edition, but was just curious). Decided not worth it since I could not implement it anyway. If we at least could undervolt.

@XxViciousxX 11 ай бұрын

I was hoping to get the same cooling as the guy in the Reddit post but after comments like this, I can only assume the guy either lied about the performance or maybe his was just a golden chip that did not require the same volta as mine. Still glad I made the video tho although I have not been able to get the temps back to stock levels yet.

@@XxViciousxX I may be wrong but I think the giant air holes in the liquid metal is just where the contact between the cooler and the CPU/GPU is actually making good contact so the liquid metal gets pushed outwards. (pump out effect, common in laptops). Probably if you sand the cooler (the most dangerous and dumbest thing to do perhaps) you could get better contact surface for the entire thing and nee only a minimal amount of LM. An additional advice is to NEVER pour the LM directly onto the cpu/gpu die. Put it on a separate thing (like a plastic) and pick it up from there with the q-tip , then apply. By pressing the needle directly on top of the die you run the risk of some LM that ahs gotten drier to block the rest until you overpush it and throw out a massive line of LM all over your laptop. The amount of LM that should be applied in most cases is "as little as possible, but it covers all the area". Personally I am waiting for Kryosheet to hit the market and then I will test on my own Advantage edition if it is better or a LM replace.

@@XxViciousxX I am in the process of testing the Kryosheets. So far they look promising, but the change of the goop for thermal pads had my laptop shutting down so I am a bit worried there. (followed someone else advice for thermal pad thickness, had to change all 1 mm think pads for 0.5mm. So far no shutdowns). I think the VRM/mosfets of the gpu are very poorly soldered and are literally at different heights so yeah.... So far it seems gpu and CPU are more often at higher temperatures BUT the performance is better and the absolute max temps have dropped. I am VERY interested (and scared) for how this will perform long term. As a fast side note, my scores used to be (original setup with LM ofc) 11300 Cinebench R23, to max 12010. Now, on performance mode it is 13224. With the Kryosheets. My laptop would shut down on extreme loads (like path of exile juiced map), so the shutting down thing is not exactly new, but it would happen very rearly.

@XxViciousxX Жыл бұрын

They're supposed to increase pressure. Got to put them behind the spring to give it more pressure. If it didn't have the spring you'd be 100% right but since the spring is there it makes it press harder. Though it still didn't give me the temps I had seen in reddit from doing this.

If I want to get rid of some thermal compound for example I'll use a toothpick or a cotton swab vs poking it with a metal screwdriver for example.

The only reason I do not disconnect the batteries whenever I do anything in my laptops are steam deck or anything like that is because what I was a teenager I disconnected a battery and I ripped the connection right off the motherboard as I was trying to disconnect it so I've only ever damaged a laptop by disconnecting the battery So far I have never even sparked anything working on it with the battery still in but like I said it's playing with fire but my logic is I've broken a computer by disconnecting it and haven't by not so I'm just going to keep not disconnecting it from now on but that's just me.

I think when you put the washers in, try to put it on the top side only(or even double washers on top) that way it would theoretically put more pressure down. Also try to cut the cooling pads better so they are not stacked causing protrusions. Beside all that, your fans looks a bit dirty still, did you blow everything outta there?😂

@XxViciousxX Жыл бұрын

I just did a video today that I'm uploading right now. Where I completely got rid of the springs and just used washers, got rid of some LM (think I used too much the first time around). Was thinking maybe the thermal pads are just too tall and are possibly making my mounting pressure worse. Was thinking about going back to thermal paste possibly. The fans look bad but the small dust is not going to hurt anything just looks kinda trashy. It was much worse before I basically didn't clean it on purpose for a month to make a cleaning video on how to clean fans. They're now all dusty again. Someone else in another video told me "what I was doing was pointless" and "using LM is what idiots do as the cooling system is the bottleneck" "it does not matter what I do I'll never have good temps it's a laptop get a desktop and stop being poor".

This bit of speed reduction can be quite relevant. 2-I saw that you have 2 ssd's and two kingston ram's (are these ram's overclocked?). Maybe removing 1 ssd temporarily disabling memory overclocking might help a bit. 3-As others have said, the thermal pads may have reduced the pressure on the processor and the gpu. I would replace it with a good quality terminal paste. 4-In addition, there is the temperature of the room. If your room is at 21 degrees Celcius, using a stress test in manual mode (all fans maxed out), you should get 96 degrees on the CPU (okay). And on the GPU, up to 88 degrees is ok.

Thank you very much. So far the CPU fan can get up to 7200 and the GPU gets up to 6800rpm on manual during high load. both m.2s actually stay very chilly considering they are in a laptop I don't think have seen either one get over 55c (plus only one is ever being used heavily at a time) I have changed the pads to some thermal grizzly extreme paste which did lower memory temps though got no improvement in CPU and GPU temps. I think mine just needs more volts than the other 5900HX CPUS. I saw a bunch of people getting under 90c after doing this. So figured id give it a try but have tried three times and still same old temps. Though it could be as simple as they are in a cooler room than I am and that's how they get better temps. Ram is not overclockable in the general sense no XMP (or whatever AMD's version is called) is allowed either. Though I know it can be overclocked in more unconventional methods as some people in my discord have done. I still plan to try messing with mounting pressure a little more but I think it just can't handle any more heat output with the cooling system it has. But it's not throttling or anything so I should not let the high temps get to me it has been running at those for over a year. Plus this thing gets put through lots more stress than it would receive during a regular user's normal wear and tear. Since I'm always making videos with it or editing videos with it it never gets shut off either just a restart here and there.

But the only time mine shut down was when I tried to improve the cooling and said made it much worse. But that was my bad and not the laptop's fault in any way.

PTM can not compete with LM honestly :) Plus you have extra plate on CPU side that will make even more pressure and push out any paste pad overtime! Your GPU temps are just fine only CPU needs to come down a bit ;) LM for CPU PTM for GPU and I think you are good to go!

Lol, that's just a glitch for some reason the CPU lists total system power the whole system is using 175 w not just the CPU. The only CPUs I have seen take that much power are those workstation CPUs and 12 and 13th-generation Intel chips. The CPU will throttle performance at 100c and turn off at 105c so even though its high temps it's still within spec.

Hello, the notebook must have a fault, I understand that there is a lot of this model that comes with faults, I don't know how many programs it has in the background, I have optimized the notebook, msconfig with startup and services... game with external screen output type -c In turbo mode in forza horizon 4 in 4K UHD (3840×2160) it gives me a CPU between 79 to 84*C ( rizer 9 5900) and a GPU 59 to 62*C (RX 6800M) In turbo mode in forza horizon 4 in 2K QHD (2560×1440) it gives me CPU 75*C + -, and GPU 55*C Another thing if I change power options to BALANCED, the CPU temperature drops more, being at 64 to 68*C, and the GPU is similar. I keep it balanced so I don't raise the CPU temperature so much, for me it's a force 8 machine, for everything it has installed and everything ran in turbo mode with hours of play I think it may be that it overheated the CPU AND GPU, or whatever I said at the beginning factory fault

I have tried then it does definitely work and do the trick for keeping temps under control but it also limits performance Now in most games it doesn't make a very perceivable difference but in games like war zone I was losing like 15 to 20 FPS and my averages dropped quite a bit because of it and since that's what I mainly got this thing to do I kind of let it just have the most performance it can have. I normally have a really really good cooling pad to help me get those temps under control. I have since then taken off the liquid metal and put some Honeywell phase change pads on it. So now I'm about back to what I was getting stock.

@XxViciousxX 2 ай бұрын

It will probably be fine. Sparks don't mean for sure fried. But I think of it like hooking up jumper cables to a car battery and touching the leads together for a second. It will spark but it doesn't destroy the battery. Now if you leave the leads connected then the battery would fry. So as long as it wasn't something sitting there sparking for a long period you're probably fine. I should have told people to disconnect the battery too. I just don't because I broke a battery connector once when I was younger. Yet have never broken anything by leaving the battery connected so I just do that.
