What an elegant and practical cooling solution for all laptop owners

I vote to change the channel name to "Dawid Does Pointless Stuff". I'm not complaining - it's entertaining to watch.

"if u have a gaming lamptop" Generous of u to assume that my laptop can work as a lamptop

Laptop: overheating Me: Open up the laptop, and replace the thermal paste Dawid: *T O W E R C O O L E R S*

The reason performance went down when you over clocked is because the laptop VRMS can’t keep up with the higher clocks. I had a similar thing with an old Core 2 Quad machine. It would perform better at 3ghz than at 3.2ghz.

I suggest attaching the AIO to the heat pipes so that mounting pressure remains adequate and heat is transferred away in a more efficient manner. The proper way would be a copper plate covering the two dies, using the original mounting holes with an AIO attached on top.

"Driving past Microcenter" "Mom can we have gaming pc" "We have gaming pc at home" This is the gaming pc at home

I’m genuinely surprised you remembered to disconnect the battery 😂

Hahahaha, I'm the type of person, who goes all of the internet searching on how to overclock a cpu that's not overclockable 😂

I like this kind of janky stuff. It's highly amusing. I was having this internal argument about how evga seems to have slacked off with their cooling in recent years. I was given a GTX 480 with a heatsink that could past tense someone. But, My RTX 2060's heatsink is basically is feather in comparison. I kinda wanna see how effective the old 480 bricksink could chill the 2060.

I love your jank/ghetto mods, it gives me so much inspiration to rip into old oem pcs and just combine random shit together and make custom heat sinks and try to get as low of temps as possible in dell proprietary cases

The IHS on desktops is different from laptops. You can't just put a drop of thermal paste in the middle and hope the mounting pressure spreads it evenly like on a desktop. With laptops, you take some good branded thermal paste and evenly spread a thin layer across the entire IHS. You'd still run hot, but most likely in the 70-85 without thermal throttling at load depending on the laptop. Trial and error guided me through this, I tried the dot method, and it was thermal throttling, evenly spread the layer and you get much better temps at load without throttling, cheers. Also make sure you're at the latest bios. If this is not enough, you may be able to undervolt like -.050v and in some cases, if you raise the laptop, the intake fans from the bottom can easily take in more cool air.

dawid, i know the verge pc build has been reacted to by everyone but i think your reaction in a video would be the best

Man I look forward to all your videos bro, its a fun environment and just genuine

My man, I need to see you playing with Liquid Metal on your things. The added danger makes me terrified but happy

"Now this is starting to look really stupid, which means we're getting really close to a solution." This is pretty solid logic.

Nobody: Dawid "I think this was a very useful video!!"

"Those temperatures sure are as sexy as hell"...expected 69c - Disappointed, Dawid xD.

I feel like there's a way somewhere to mod this into something practical. I think you can use pipes and the pipes goes to the giant fan towers. Also adding more fans to the towers. And making a 3d printed enclosure. But in practice maybe a external gpu could be a better alternative. I know that it's a joke but it has potential.

Good stuff! Makes you wonder why no one sells huge alternative bases for various laptop models. Many people use their laptop as a desktop replacement with a screen, mouse and keyboard after they are done studying and don't need to be mobile anymore. I am typing this on a Macbook Pro Early 2011 that I got for free a week ago. The thing runs great, but the fan ramps up for literally anything. Would be kind of cool to make it into a phatmac with a huge base, and way lower temperatures.

This can open a discussion though. Laptops usually come much cheaper than a desktop. Maybe we can start a modding craze on which we buy laptops that do have good parts and put actually good cooling on them to get desktop performance.

Hi there! Great video! One question: what cable types did you use to power the fans directly from the PSU?

“About as useful as a fart in a hurricane” I was dying

Or you could order a "new" backplate for the laptop, drill holes in it facing the heat pipes, put the laptop "normally" on a stand with feet long enough to fit the cooler upside down and let the cooler cool the heat pipes ? Plus if you use a thermal pad on the cooler you can always create a custom door on the modded backplate to keep portability while maintaining good enough contact.

Another cookie but excellent video Dawid. Regarding the close to other components problem , use some helicopter tape over them to prevent shorting and Im thinking you could use some copper coins or plate possibly cut to shape between the chip and the cooler to give you clearances.

Some breath of fresh air on tech tips! Thanks Dawid! :D

Ok Dawid, this was the most crazy and genius thing I saw here in your channel. Congrats man

I tried to put the laptop underwater as cooling solution, it’s awesome the temperature are so low that the laptop shut down itself to prevent damage!!! It’s insane

It is neat the way you improved the cooling while maintaining the portability.

Pretty cool idea...I got some older laptops that don't work so well ..broken screens but may be able to make another in an old art box I have...made an all in 1 laptop in a box and attached it to the back of a monitor...I sent timmy Joe pics prob a year ago :) and at least you didn't snap the laptop on your head!! Love your vids buddy!!

I have a laptop with these problems of overheating, I grabbed the cooler of a graphics card and I'm in the process of installing it, I'm already adapting it, seeing this video encourages me much more! thanks for such a good video, a good MOD!

this channel content keeps getting crazier and I'm living it 😂

I was thinking about this for 2 years now. Finally someone did it.

I love your "useful" videos. Keep them coming!

I actually did on my samsung Rv509 (It's my folding at home pc) but I used a Socket 478 stock cooler and I mounted it permanently by actually drilling holes on the Cooler so that I am able to mount the cooler from the back of the motherboard using screws. And after that my load temps dropped from 97°c to 42c

Those laptop temps were pretty decent to begin with, if you want a more stable thermal experience and better frequency stability you should’ve just undervolted but this works too

Between David and Jeff Geerling, I can lmao and still learn fresh stuff. Kudos!

your last video actually inspired me to get one of these used Blades, though I sprang for a 2016 model with the 970m and an i7-6700hq. Funny thing is it's actually 2 years older than the laptop it's replacing. just couldn't take the terrible build quality of my Asus Vivobook any longer.

I really wanted to try the same thing on my overheating laptop that throttles all the time! Bravo!

THAT CAT AT THE BEGGINNING LOOKED LIKE A PANCAKE!!!😍

First, nice to see you disconnect the power on the laptop. Second, this video was some of the most ridiculous tech content I have ever watched and I loved it!

As someone who is currently endeavoring to piece together a banger 720p/1080p rig from 6 years ago, I salute your efforts here. It all started for me when I pulled a perfectly fine AMD A10 7800 APU out of an old Lenovo desktop a few weeks ago. Then I found a new, still sealed in the bag Asus A88X Pro board for $50. And then just yesterday I stumbled upon the best , most incredible deal for completely obsolete machinery ever and obtained two (count em TWO) used but pristinely kept GTX 980 Kingpin cards with ALL of the OG packaging and accessories and an SLI bridge for $300. I'm still in awe of this deal. Now I'm at the point where I feel like the spirit of this machine is trying so hard to manifest into the real world that it would simply be cruel of me not to facilitate it the rest of the way. Also, considering what I've already got going into this thing, it's going to end up being an actual monster. Now I just need to find one of those old Corsair or Thermaltake cases that look like a space shuttle from the 1980s and I'll be in business.

i hope in the future they consider this and leave an opening/hatch on the floor of the laptop where you then can clamp on some cooling block/baseplate to extend the heatpipe

Im considering this, as I do push my Nitro 5 to the limit quite often, and it it is known for getting hot, even with a stand and adequate space for air underneath. Poor CPU has hit 200 degrees F before :((

9:24 this is absolutely the most useful video I've ever seen. I'm going to buy a laptop right now and 2 tower coolers to do this, to replace my 3700x/2080ti gaming pc.

When I connect the charger while playing games, the laptop overheats. I heard opinions that this problem is caused by the charger so I decided to buy a new charger. What model of charger do you recommend for my laptop is Lenovo Legion y520?

Marvelously unuseful as always - great work Dawid!👍

I actually use my laptop like that but with the coolers on top of the stock heatskin with a generous amount of thermal paste, they don't move at all this way. The laptop turns on power so I don't need to open the lid. And I also cool the vrms and pch with 2 more small fans. You don't need a PSU for the fans, a cheap 10$ 12V DC transformer will do.

loved it all! start to finish! liked. subbed.

I wonder if you could just put the laptop in a mini case so you won't destroy the whole thing when bumping it. But I feel like that would ruin temperatures.

I had a gaming laptop that ran really hot. I put it up on 4 dixey cups giving it come clearance off the table and it lowered the temperature by a huge amount.

Probably power limited. Very cool video, maybe try to 3D print some kind of brackets to hold the coolers.

What is the software that is used to monitor all the temperature and memory usage? I'm new to this

Another great MacGyver / Steve-O combo. Awesome man! With even more Macgyvering you could have make those coolers fixed and close lid to pose as bottom...but who cares, it's working, right? Great man! 👍💪 Looking forward for next video 🤗😂

I am seeing a trend. "This is really a bad idea." appears in almost all your videos. So exciting!

I think it's best to mod a fan brackets for the cooling fans so that you can place your laptop in its top position (of course, placing it on a holed table). 😁😀✌🏼

what monitor werr you using when testing your laptop inprovments?

What overlay for the temps do you use?

What FPS software do you use?

On your next cooling experiments, Try a thermal pad instead of a paste, and it might have a better contact and easier to apply your (ahmm) "solutions"

Slightly more practical might be to make a thicc laptop by taking one of those laptop coolers removing the top of it, removing the bottom of the laptop and sticking some heatsinks that are just thin enough to fit in the laptop cooler chasis on top of the heat pipes (keeping the original cooling working), and then directing the laptop cooler fan through the new heatsinks. Attach them together in a semi-permanent way and it's still be at least somewhat portable that way.

HEY HOW DID U CONNECTED THE VENTIRAD TO THE POWER SUPLLY? WHATS THE CABLE TYPE? I NEED ADAPTATOR IM DOING THE SAME THING LIKE YOU MY CPU ON MY OLD LAPTOP IS 100DEGRESS AND I WANT TO TRY IT ( dont fking tell me to rempalce thrermal paste or cleaning or undervolting or shit , i tryed everythings)

My laptop runs extremely hot even when just running chrome with 32gb of ram. Is there anyway this can be fixed without spending any money or changing clock speeds

Seems like that GT1030 cooler would fit perfectly across both the GPU and CPU in that laptop.

Wht abt using the air coolers for threadripper? Maybe it can contact both cpu & gpu same tome?

Thanks for the tip! Although I have been getting weird looks at the airport…

My msi gaming laptop black power adapter is getting hot is that common on all laptops?

I had this problem on my 15inch asus gaming laptop, the things a furnace. After changing the thermal paste, best is just to start using a laptop cooler.

Mister Dawid, is the liquid metal a good alternative for better cooling?

May i ask how you connected the cooler to the power supply, is there like an adapter?

Hi, when I start Cinebench2024 the cpu(Acer Nitro 17 i7: 13700HX, RTX 4060) immediately throttling, the fans are set up to max and the temperature hits 100C. The test runs for 10 minutes and the cpu clock speed drops to 3GHz(the cpu max frequency is 5GHz). The cpu score in cpu-monkey is 1371, but mine has 938. Also Intel XTU shows power limit throttling, the cpu is idle, and power limit and current/edp throttling at the same time while gaming. For example in Days Gone the fps are capped to 120 and the graphic setting are almost the highest, the cpu and gpu temps are about 75C, but the cpu frequency and frames drops(3GHz and ~90fps) from time to time(every 30-60 min) for 2-3min. Do you think these problems can be fixed with replacing the motherboard, the laptop is under warranty. I bought it two mounts ago and it is cooled with liquid metal thermal paste. Thanks!

How does one securely mount the cooler. I don't want to just place a cooler and leave it so it can fall.

The moment you said you got those temps on a laptop, I knew what you were going to do! :)

My Nitro 5 runs at 95C on the cpu and max 75C on GPU, its and i5 9300h and rtx 2060. Not sure how to lower the temp without lowering its frequency. :/ Got any advice? Its a new laptop, month old.

Hey what software is it that you use to track all the temps, speed, and utilization?

My PC not going beyond 60°c but shuts down after 15-20 min of starting, next time I turn it on it shows error of overheating, what I have to do to fix this?

Why does my laptop cooling pad not seem to make a difference at all? It’s raised off of the desk and has two fans that blow underneath. What am I doing wrong?

Dawid as a technician I can agree that this is the best way to cool any laptop

Didnt expect to teardown the damn laptop lol

Your mods are becoming more and more practical by the day😆😆

How did you connect the coolers to the PSU ?

You are insane!! And that's the fact that I love watching your videos!

YES I WAITED FOR THIS IN OVER A DAY

thank you for making experiments! now i kind of understand how cooling works in laptop

How are you able to power the fans ?

i still remember my hp elitebook 2570p with 104c on gpu and cpu. ran it daily 10 hours a day for over a year and still works.

What software are you using for rhe overlay?

Hey Dawid. We have Winter in Canada. Not sure what part of the country you're in, but once sub-zero temps set in, you should revisit this, outdoors. :)

you should try liquid metal in the stock config, its a popular mod, just put some tape around the area to avoid it shorting something :p

I always wanted to build a custom water cooling system for my laptop.

my laptop cpu temp keep reaching 90+, changed thermal paste two times but no improvement, but gpu have no heating issue...any solution?

I have an old gaming laptop I want to try and mod like this ... to see how well I can cool it.

Dawid I am gonna ask u for something. I love the iMac screen. I have the 2011 model with the 27”. I want to connect there my pc which has a 1070ti. It doesn’t work whatever cable I try although it should as long as I understand from several forum. Can u do something about it please? I have no space for second monitor and I love the Big Mac for studying. Same the screen. Please make this somehow works

what is that overlay that he uses for fps and temps

This is GREAT for my Clevo n850hp6 ( XMGA517) laptop. Had it for like...5 years now? GPU and CPU are ALWAYS Thermo-throttling at 95° from day 1. Second Year I undevolted it, next I opened it up ( I actually use it opened ) and now I'm even underclocking it. It's just a joke of a cooling system. What I'm wandering is how will this affect memory temps? I think those guys need cooling and we're not taking care of them in the current solution, still a nice start!

Idk, my laptops cooler is in perfect condition, but it stops to work every 5minutes or so.. And both cores temp is above 95.. So.. What should I do?

In the beginning I thought you were joking when you wanted to mount the two coolers on the CPU and GPU! LOL !!!!!! First time I see this mod in the laptop! It must be named after you!

Is it normal that I have an fx 6300 95w tdp and rx 580 about 200w tdp and my temperatures on both are under 40 while gaming, and I don't even have a water cooler

I re-installed Windows 10 and am getting processor overheating issues that are slowing down the processor to due to the down-throttling. Some experts are saying that I should rollback on the newly installed drivers, while others are saying to update. I am super upset by this cause I lost my processor speed and messing around with all the 17 new drivers and restarting each time seems like a ridiculous and tedious task. Anyone been through this and know which specific drivers to roll back on?

Love the crazy scientist videos!
