This helped so much, didn't know how to disconnect the battery. I couldn't find any info what type of HHD have I built in from my previous Laptop years ago. Now I finally know it's 2.5 and that I could even replace it by a SSD. That fact was new to me! Thanks a lot for this helpful video! Im sure you helped a lot of people with this!

my model is the same as yours in this video. however the nvme is 512gb, it has a RAM chip of 4gb 2666mhz and there is an nvidia chip there you can see in the board close to the fan it has a design . There is where the MX350 geforce is. There has been a lot of complains about temperature + throttling here. GPU usually doesnt get past 70C (hot spot sensor a little bit wamer around 75c), and then it throttles, however it is not the biggest trouble here. The biggest trouble is the processor. I5 1035G1 has a base clock of 1 ghz. WIth turbo it goes to around 3ghz. However they all get too hot when turbo is turned on. There has been some BIOS promissing to improve performance, but what they essentially do is control how frequent the throttling occurs. What we have done to get around the throttling more efficiently is to use a software called throttlestop and we deactivate the limits locking our own limits. Here i have limited it to between 11-13 Watts( depending how hot the environment is). Have you seen this trouble? have your experienced this trouble? strange thing is ,after some hours of gamepay, if i put my hand behind the notebook where the ram and nvme lies at, it is the only area where i can see its hot where it should have been the area where the fan lies ....i dont understand... its almost like the ram and nvme were the only ones getting hot, or its the hot air that has nowhere to go getting stuck there

@BrueComputing
@BrueComputing 2 года назад
Its not really outrageous - its the case with basically every laptop in the last 10 years or so - socketed processors add cost (cost of socket, extra assembly time), thickness (make the system 2-3mm thicker) take more space on the mainboard (meaning less room for battery, etc) for a part which generally isn't replaced. You could swap out the mainboard, but it rarely makes economic sense to do so, especially when for gaming the limitation will be the integrated graphics, rather than the processor itself. You'd probably be better off selling the system and buying something that is better suited to gaming.
