Just a pointer to avoid extra lint to clean. Instead of using a paper towel, you cn use coffee filters as those are lint free and also fairly cheap and readily available in most peoples homes
Great tutorial, thank you Phawx. Considering the current paste is pretty recent and seems to be well applied I'm not going to change yet to PTM7950 to cool a few degrees (i'm not even pushing the mini hard for now). But couple of months down the track or next year when the existing paste will probably be dry I'll definitely come back to this video and apply PTM7950.
Super excited for this device to be delivered. I'm going to do some thermal testing to see where my unit is with the stock thermal paste but will definately look at this for an option.
@@riazhussain2333 are you using motion assist? You can adjust fans there.also just disable cpu boost. I've changed my ssd to a 2280 one as the 2230 was getting too hot to touch lol.all good now
I’m sure you watched the video of that Chinese guy that modded the whole backplate and fan/heatsink, are you considering trying to make a video on how to do that for us outside of china? It would be incredible paired with this mod
Great job! Now I wonder which ptm 7950 pad size to get? Or maybe PTM7958 paste? Wonder if we could thermal re-pad/repaste the G1? Maybe the next tutorial ?
While a ~3 degree delta doesn't look like much, it's a pretty massive gap when it comes to TIM. Most traditional TIMs will be within a few degrees of each other, from best to worst, so PTM is clearly doing a great job here!
Obviously different but thermal pads compared to paste, I did this on a liquid cooled 6900xt and the pad was a super high quality pad but it would still exceed heat limits and shut down. With paste it runs at ambient. Makes me feel like paste has to better in this situation too?
What are the surface temperatures like after changing thermal compounds? I've heard that the win mini gets uncomfortably hot around the face buttons if you run it above about 15W, and I was wondering if improving conductivity to the fan (and reducing backsplash in the airflow) would help with that...
Great video! I learn a lot about Isopropyl alcohol. If you could do one for the win 4 would be great. Oh if you'd do a hall sensor stick replacement video would rock. Isopropyl alcohol!
I am so excited to receive mine. Should this be done before turning on the device for the first time? Would that make the most sense or does it matter?
GPD engineers couldn't solve the device's heating problem, so they cut Tdp by 20 units, essentially throttling the processor's performance, what do you say to that?
Do not over-torque the screws on the cooling solution. You will strip them. If you plan on re-torqueing the screws, use a torque wrench set to a very low value. Around 0.5NM, or 4.5 inch-lbs.
Not being mean Phawx but try not to say "the device itself" or "the *blank* itself" it's something said way too often by amateurs, and you're beyond that.
