Making the Best Water Cooled Laptop Even Better

Over the last few weeks I tried out 2 different water blocks to compare them to the Alpha Cool water block I used originally for the laptop water cooling. Both performed much better than the Alpha Cool block, but similarly to each other.

Been tracking this journey from Reddit. Way to get the full performance you paid for! For gaming it's unreal to see you're getting a 20-30% increase. Goes to show how much headroom is left out on these laptops. Would be dope to see a bit more about how you're cooling the power brick after shunt mod, and if the temps and power can hold steady after say, an hour of video rendering. I'm sure you're totally on top of that already though.

The asus brick is honestly a tank. The only game I have that consistently puts up 250-270w on the GPU is Metro Exodus and it sustained that through a whole play through. The Dead Space Remake will pull 190-200w on the GPU and 70-80 CPU and that didnt have an issue either. The brick gets warm, but not noticeably more than stock. I have been getting tempted by Slim Q chargers recently to see how they do though.

Can you please help me out to try to do this on my dell g15 5515 Ryzen edition.... I'm not into pc modding but this sounds like the perfect project to start

if you want to watercool any kind of heatpipe the best way is to not do it directly over die, but at least 1-2cm off center of die, that way the liquid/vapor transfer can work at its best

@sloreo8278 Ай бұрын

This isnt intended to use the vapor. The heat is going to the heatsink and then into the cold plate mounted directly to it. The liquid doesnt really need to condense and expand unless it is running on air cooling. It treats the heatsink as an IHS on a desktop CPU in a way. You could absolutely put the cold plate somewhere else on it but then you’re dealing with more mods to the laptop’s case and potentially more points of failure depending on how you run it.

@autune22 Ай бұрын

So the main thing I have been wondering with this build is how you detach the block from the liquid cooling loop without liquid spilling everywhere, is there some kind of mechanism in the sockets that keeps most if not all of the liquid contained?

@sloreo8278 Ай бұрын

Yep! The connectors are called 'quick disconnects' or 'dry break fittings'. These ones are made by Koolance but there are plenty out there. They have a spring loaded plunger on either fitting that is pushed into place when disconnected to block liquid from coming out.

That's really cool! How did you mod that bigger block? Any more detailed info?

@sloreo8278 21 күн бұрын

Thankfully all that was needed was sanding down the top of the cold plate to have it not be such a tight fit with the lower case cover. The issue was that the gab between the case cover and heatsink (on the inside) is about 3mm while the Iceman cold plate was 4.3mm. Before sanding it down the case cover couldn't seat fully and flexed a lot.

I thought that you had to drill something also. Maybe I will test that barrow block because I am not so good to craft things @sloreo8278

@sloreo8278 19 күн бұрын

Im more than happy to answer any questions for making it but am not open to commission because of the cost and risk of it. My full build cost just shy of $1000 and I can't offer any kind of support for if anything were to ever leak and damage someone's laptop.

Wondering if back plate laptop is purchasable, so we can back to normal again.

@sloreo8278 Ай бұрын

Most newer laptops shouldn't be an issue but the suppliers will vary. For mine, I have gotten two from www.a-accessories.com/ and they have been flawless each time.

@katravathnayak1409 Ай бұрын

I like this mod. It is great. Can you tell me the dimension of the iceman water block?

@sloreo8278 Ай бұрын

iirc it is 120mm x 80mm x 16mm. The one I used doesn't have dimensions listed on the product page for some reason but is close to the others they have for the AMD SP5 socket.

i assume you're using a pwm splitter for the fans?

The T30s are able to be Daisy chained so I just have them all run together.

U can underclock the CPU and overclock the GPU?

@sloreo8278 20 күн бұрын

You can underclock the CPU on most if not all laptops. If you mean undervolting, that is possible on the 13980hx and the 12th gen hx CPU, but is not possible for the non hx chips as far as I know. You can unlock it by hacking the BIOS on 10 & 11th gen CPU. The GPU can be overclocked on all laptops, again, as far as I know, but the wattage and voltage are hardware limited.

@sloreo8278 25 күн бұрын

Ye. If you check out my other videos I show hooking it up with dry break quick connects and compare the air cooling to the water cooling. Obvs it is heavier now, but I take it with me to work every day just about, without the radiator though.

is you mobile GPU draws 200+ watts while playing metro exodus? or am I seeing it wrong? LOL

@sloreo8278 Ай бұрын

It is! it pulls up to 270w. I did a shunt mod on it a while ago which is why the first dead space clip it caps at 130w and in the second it is 175w.

I am really interested in this laptop water cooler and i want to purchase it Is there any chance bro?

@sloreo8278 Ай бұрын

@@zayedhussain6609 Because of the cost Im very hesitant to do any commissions. I cant offer any kind of protection for someone else's laptop and just the parts I used alone cost around $8-900. Cheaper parts can be used but it won't work quite as well.
