Avoid These 5 Gaming Laptop Killers!

Real.

If i can't eat pizza on it i don't want it

Very poggers

Learned that lesson with my potato. Thats how i found Jerrod

Ew

Updating won't help it, you're right but downloading Ram does

@@Sandkasten36 lol🤣🤣🤣

I got 4gb soldered. Been running since 2017, no problem at all. Been playing LOL and VALO.

@@wz-fv2ix we're not talking about an office machine with light gaming. We're talking about gaming or productivity laptops. LOL isn't the type of game we're talking about.

10 years is way too long for a gaming laptop, even a gaming desktop PC.

the most important one of all

​@@JarrodsTech​​I understand on using laptop on wall power but how? it literally charges in under 1hr and even if i continue wont it be overcharging? *Turned on Battery care which stops charging at 80% *Asus Tuf F15 1:37

​@@vaibhav5568 no it will be fine. plus with many gaming laptops they will only use their full power while plugged in!

@@vaibhav5568 When they plugged in, they charge batery AND don't use it until unpluged, so it more healtly to have it always plugged in so it never have to use batery

Tip #7 Dont spill sugary water on your laptop

haha@@seanvideoediting

Actual tip #7, don't buy a $4000 maxed out laptop if you are stupid and put water near computers? It's $4000, bud.

tip #7 you can have maxed out desktop and midrange laptop for the same price

why is a drink anywhere near your laptop. mine is 3 feet away always. as joker said you got what you deserved.

Exactly, I thought it's a bad advice when gaming and the charger pad really gets so HOT! Just use a thin and long book or anything that wouldn't make your laptop hot

I usually use my wallet as my laptop's standoff when I'm not at home, like in a cafe and whatnot 😂

I think you're being a little paranoid to be honest. Sure it's not ideal, and I said it's something I do in a pinch, I'm not out here recommending it, just making the point. Most people should just buy a stand. Also most laptops have the battery down the front.

@@JarrodsTech You should not have recommended it in a pinch because most people that watch this won't use common sense. Of course, I wouldn't do this with an aftermarket charger. Only with an OEM (Most of them stop charging if they overheat). Not that they normally do on a consistent basis. Unless they are covered. Even then as long as it's not for long periods you should be fine. You just got to use common sense like gaming on a bed blocking ventilation fans. Point is it's better than nothing. Also, if you look at the video, he put the corner of the charger under the laptop. Just enough to tilt it, Not the whole charger underneath the laptop. Think people!!!

This is why I'm buying a laptop stand

Yeah, that is why I haven't updated to Windows 11 yet, I don't know what is it going to break

I find this especially true with GPU driver updates.

or switch to ltsc since it only has security updates

@@gerreycynepheld what is ltsc?

@@rowankeltizar5961 An Enterprise-orientated version of Windows 10 which alot of people strongly prefer since it has no built-in bloatware.

how to clean static electricity?

@@davidekilla8222 Touch the grounding wire.

And most importantly NEVER overuse K5 Pro for the VRMs and GDDR Memory NANDs. Because that will cause a short if the overflowing K5 Pro has touched sensitive components and grounding area.

@@killertruth186 thank you for the extra notes. 👍

I'm actually looking to repaste my laptop soon. Looked up online and people mentioned regular paste will dry out pretty quick and also the pump out issue, so it's a no go for me since I don't want to do it regularly. People recommended the 7950, but I'm not sure where to find genuine ones (heard there are fakes out there). There's also kryosheet as well but that thing is expensive as hell. Two sheets for cpu+gpu is gonna run me like $25, which is twice the price of a tube of normal paste...

@@Summer-xu8qu the pricing of PTM7950 is around in the middle between kryosheet and premium paste. But the largest size (80x80mm) option is somewhat the same as kryosheet and carbonaut though. At least in my country, dunno about yours. If you often open up your laptop due to dust problems like me (I clean up my fans once every 6-8 months and I can't remove my laptop's fan without disassembling the whole cooling system), then I think you should prefer paste over PTM7950. Because it's kinda a waste to use PTM7950 in that circumstances, longevity is its strong point aside from good performance.

Gelid GC extreme is an equally Viscous yet cheaper option, works great for my lappy.

good one i keep it as highest as 144hz which is what my display refresh rate is, and i limit it even further down to 35 fps when playing heavy AAA games

​@@torpediq61how to limit the fps?

@@Rickyroy24 msi afterburner for example

Washing ones hands before anything is a must….. gross 🤢

@@Puppy_Puppington how is washing hands gross?

Further to point 1, consider undervolting

Can you still play on the keyboard comfortably though?.....Lifted *inches* off of the ground....

@@ricobico1872 you shouldn't put your laptop on the ground.... But in all seriousness, I didn't notice a difference.

​@@ricobico1872but a new wireless keyboard and mouse to play

@@ricobico1872 😂 Maybe I should have been clearer. Stands usually lift the ass end up to 3 inches, while the front is still almost touching the surface the stand is on. Tilting my laptop with a stand actually made it easier on my wrists.

@@rowankeltizar5961 Why not?.... What's the point on having one then?...😂

I do it too. Upon first boot of the day, and when shutting down, and when we win while playing.

Want one?

always good to learn something else

That’s surprising, no need to put it fully under the back, just enough to rest on the edge of the brick with the rubber foot of the laptop gripping it. Works great on the 2021 Legion 5, not sure much has changed…

I appreciate it!

How?

ye tell me too@@Reaversword3D

@@Reaversword3D PTM7950 has the best performance out of all TIMs like thermal pastes and carbon pads (all go on the CPUs and CPU/GPU dies, it doesn't replace the need for VRAM thermal pads or thermal putty). The only other TIM that's better is liquid metal - but the margin is only around 2-4C compared to ~10-15C on thermal pastes, and the difficulty of applying and maintaining liquid metal makes it almost impossible for laptop manufacturers or laptop users to apply it well without some catastrophic outcomes, which I experienced myself (I'm glad the laptop I serviced still works, I was extra cautious when removing factory liquid metal on an Asus ROG laptop which spilled away and breached the first line of defense and caused CPU stability problems due to shorting the SMD components on the AMD CPU). Thus it means that PTM7950 is 7-10C better than all newly applied thermal pastes. What is more, both thermal pastes and liquid metal all have limited service life of around 1-1.5 years on gaming laptops (yes, there's a reason why I had to service a laptop with liquid metal applied from factory). PTM7950 has a service life starting from 2 years but can be left unmaintained up until the laptop breaks after 10-15 years, with hardly any performance degradation. This is because PTM7950 (not PTM7950SP, which requires extra steps to apply properly) does not suffer from the pump-out effect, nor does it dry up like pastes, because it doesn't have silicon, which thermal pastes do. There's a tutorial on Major Geeks website about reducing the "maximum processor frequency" setting in Windows' Control Panel, which would let you fine-tune the CPu clocks downwards to improve efficiency and decrease the heat, without effectively halving your performance per core by turning off Turbo Boost and having your CPU only reaching the base clock speed, which is usually too low.

the charger is at bigger risk than the laptop imo.

the edge of the charger he meant by showing that, dont keep the laptop on the charger but just wedge the charge just enough to prop laptop up

that is indeed a very dangerous tip, Gaming Laptop Chargers heat up quite a lot and need to be kept away from area where they can even cause burns. (like my Razer and Asus ones used to heat up soo bad I had to keep them beside cool walls to absorb the heat)

@@virgo3368 yeah both gets hot simultaneously affecting each other, it should be an irony or joke like tip 6 :)

yeah, what a terrible advice

You can buy it here: geni.us/metal-stand

yes if you know what are you doing

id say wait a month to make sure everything is ok in case you need to return it

Also dont listen do the clowns that say gaming laptops are bad

Nah, I prefer to have extended desktop (2 screens)

In place of close the laptop, use a piece of fabric to cover it
