@Noa Extreme Jesus, why didn't I get that?! I found confusing descriptions like this while googling: "The p-method improves results by using the same mesh but increasing the displacement field accuracy in each element. This method refers to increasing the degree of the highest complete polynomial (p) within an element without changing the number of elements used. The difference between the two methods lies in how these elements are treated. The h-method uses many simple elements, whereas the p-method uses few complex elements." So, thanks!

I watched your video and l just opened my laptop and saw that there was barely any thermal paste on the cpu and the gpu. I used some artcit mx 4 and now its even better than when i bought it by 15-20 degrees so far. An easy job 15 minuets max.

@@OllieBR Yes, from 110°C to 80°C. But you have to be a lot careful with the laptop's "paper cables", because they have a locking clip that needs to be raised exactly like the PC RAM lock clips. In my case, Lenovo Lancer 5B3, I had to remove exactly all components in order to get to the CPU. Without knowing about the locking clip, I pulled out the keyboard's and touchpad's cables' from the mobo, and the locking clips fell out, not knowing how to put then back. When I started the laptop, the keyboard wouldn't work. I turned laptop off, put a thin piece of plastic between the cable and the pins where the locking clip would have been, and it worked. Now, the touchpad isn't working because I didn't add a piece of plastic replacing its' lock clip. Also, the HDD which is in the ex-DVD area, is not appearing in Windows anymore. I'll have to get it out and put back in

Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut was made for CPUs with massive cooling systems that keep the temperatures very, very low. It will work well on a laptop too, but Thermo Grizzly Aeronaut was made for air cooled systems. It's a bit less viscous, and stays in place better when chips flex a little in response to heat.

@@Itsmevinu369 sorry for the late reply buddy, I first saw Gelid from the laptop group im in, he used it in his system and said that its a new and better alternative in the market. When my cpu fan got busted, i saw Gelid as one of the best choice for heavy usage and laptops along with Artic MX4, CM mastergel, and NTH1. I dont know about Hydronaut though, Thermal grizzly as ive heard doesn't last well since enthusiast grade TIM tend to dry out faster. Although they say it does perform best out of its class, but due to its issue about drying out faster and being expensive ( 12-14 dollars for 1g) here in my country) Im thinking of GC extreme instead because: (1) The difference is just ±3 according to some benchmark. (2) say that it last longer than TG kryonaut, and (3) inexpensive from where i live since i can get it for 5 dollars for 1g. Hydronaut... im not sure if i heard this often in the laptop side since people go with kryo though.

I did this on my brother’s laptop and it’s around 5°C cooler now! It was only about a 1.5 years old, but it’s been running hot (usually around 92°C) for multiple hours almost every day since he got it, so it didn’t take long for the thermal paste to go bad He had a huge thermal throttling problem before this, but now it’s not nearly as bad, and cs go went from almost unplayable mess of lag spikes to a very solid 120fps+ I could probably make it run even colder but I wanted to do this without spending any money and I didn’t have any isopropyl alcohol, so I had to just use a microfiber cloth instead, which works decently well apparently. I also used the arctic mx4 thermal paste that I bought for building my PC. It’s not a bad thermal paste, but it’s not top tier either I forgot to remove the battery though😅

Wow I just did this to my laptop and it went from 65-70 degrees idling and 95+ on load to barely hitting 70 under load. I knew there would be a noticeable difference but didn't expect 30 degrees reduction.

Refer to manufacturer recommendation. Personally I would only change it when temps are an issue. But 2 years is probably a good rough mark

Questions: 1. When did you use the alcohol in this tutorial. Is it when you used the tissue to clean the cpu gpu??? 2. After applying the paste and assembling back the laptop, Can I use the laptop immediately or Do I need to let the paste dry or something.

@KZfaq Commenter Follow up question. I notice on these videos that other than the ones on the gpu and cpu, there are also places with thermal paste-like substance usually around the gpu and cpu and theyre usually colored pink. My question is, are they the same type of thermal paste as the ones in the gpu and cpu? If yes, im curious as to why they use a different color on them.

Would applying thermal paste help lower CPU usage, regardless of how hot it's getting?

No. The operating system is going to use whatever it needs of CPU as long as it's with in the limits of heat and speed.

Is it better to use too much thermal paste than not enough? I’ve seen a lot people say to use a small amount but people seem to get best results from putting quite a lot of paste on

Yup better to have a lot than not enough.

Too much causes a thermal isolation, too little will barely do anything. Just put a rice grain sized little ball if it's squared, a single thin streak if it's rectangular. Press down from the center outwards after placing the fans back on.

@@necrotomia "Press down from the center outwards"? What do you mean by that? I need to pull it to not get too much pressure inside?
@necrotomia Жыл бұрын
@@DuckTheQuack_ Essentially, once you place the pipes back onto the system, apply pressure with your finger where the thermal paste is first, to spread it evenly around, to make sure the thermal paste spreads evenly on the cpu/gpu, then screw in numerical order, every single screwhole on the pipe panel should have a number next to it
