I did a repaste on my Laptop... did it make a difference?! 

True, my lenovo has a cool feature on the bios that if you activate, the computer shuts off, and fully disconnects the battery. Don't know how it works, but I know it's mean to be used for disassembly. Always cool seeing brands adding these features to aid repairs.

I was just going to say the same. Capacitors definitely charged. I've watched someone drop a mounting screw on a motherboard without dissipating the power and take it out. Screw got magnetically drawn to a coil while bouncing around. How do you miss the simple things with 25 years of XP? Jay...?

Anytime you have a high capacity cap, especially in a PSU, it's connected in parallel with a resistor so as soon as the power is disconnected the cap starts discharging, it's a safety feature. You can read up on "Bleeder resistor" or "discharge resistors". So this really isn't necessary unless the manufacturer skimped on $2 worth of parts. Disconnecting the battery is all you need.

@@WildRapier Screws got drawn to the coil because it had a ferrite core and not because current was flowing through it. Even if current was flowing, it wouldn't be attracted as it's AC. Also, inductors don't store any charge when switched off.

Anyone knows what laptop did he use? And especially what software is that? "Control center" or something?... Looks useful, remind me the Msi Afterburner😂... But doesn't look like from Msi, Asus, HP, or Razer software😅...

Your comment was copied and pasted from an obvious porno spammer. A bunch of people liked that post/comment.

@@my-yt-inputs2580 I guess it was because it was an early comment... You'd reckon Google would have found a solution to the spam accounts by now.

Those old Acer Predators man, thick boys

Eluktronics has a water-cooled gaming laptop that's not worried about being thin and light. Not sure how well they function. Maybe Jay can do a review of that models performance.

Both Dell laptops I've changed past out to that noctua have see upwards of high single digit to doubly digit improvements, brand new within the first week of owning it. Appalling how bad the past or application they have is. Nice thing is make it easy to access so it's like 10-20 min max and you just gained substantial performance increase. Infuriating that it needs to be done out of the box though. Like really? Yhe tenths of pennies that were cheaped out on.

Issue with nth1 is that the paste breaks apart overtime on laptops and falls to the side. Doesn't have that issue in desktop applications but.

@@artvandelay9131 No they seemed fine, werent dried out or anything and my temps on other components were within spec so I didnt bother. I was mainly interested in lowering the CPU/GPU temps so that I could reduce fan noise on the cooler.

I'm quite the reverse. I have years of building, dis assembling and reasambling PCs, but I don't want to even touch a laptop since I see it as a sealead box.

​@@daniel_rossy_explicaDepending on the laptop, they can be a dream to work in or utter hell to work in. Things like the Alienware machines of recent years are an absolute headache if you don't like the process as the cooler is UNDERNEATHE and attached to the motherboard, Whereas things like Lenovo's X1 Carbon are an absolute Dream to work on with the cooler being a SUPER EASY replacement (4-6 screws and 1 plug after the bottom panel, Thats it. OFC after unplugging or removing Battery if you worry about that.) both Dell and Lenovo in particular put their service manuals online for the public. Dell calls them Service guides (Or in some cases it's merged with the User Manual) and Lenovo calls them Hardware Maintenence Manual, Both of which give a real good idea how complicated it is for your particular machine model. I used to do In-Warranty repair for Dell and Lenovo Machines for a living.

I think most of the time OEMs will favout long-term consistency over raw performance, so as long as you're willing to stay on top of it, there's performance to be had.

I have a delta 15 MSI laptop, and I replaced my thermal paste today. It was annoying as hell because the motherboard was upside down, so I had to take the entire MB out to access the heat sink. Definitely watching a tear down on my next laptop to avoid that.

nah cuz some actually use ptm7950

Same. Had an Acer Predator 300 with a GTX 1060. I cleaned out the factory paste, put on some decent quality stuff and lowered overall temps by noticeable tens of degrees.

@@spudtsar9377 what do you think are the best thermal pastes for laptop(mine gets to 90 cel easily while playing games)

Did that to my 10 gen MSI GL65 with K5 Pro on the stuff, pretty good stuff. I think that what MSI came with stock.

It seems like that's what they were using on the memory

I have a problem. I have a Gigabyte Aorus model laptop. I first tried Kyronaut and then MX6, but the CPU does not go below 90 degrees, what should I do?

@@samimsamet8354 don't use Kyronaut. Use a thicker paste like a CoolerMaster Maker, GC extreme, or Honeywell pads...

@@samimsamet8354 clean out the fans, keep it elevated and undervolt if it's an Intel CPU.

I already tried it on my office laptop. It's way better and lasts longer than normal thermal paste. It also doesn't get pushed out by pressure as much as thermal paste when the heatsink is expanding due to heat.

I use it on my matebook 13, improved temps considerably and doesn't get pushed out like some pastes do.

i use this on my ga,me laptop 12700h and 3080, both dont go over 68c during gaming

I 100% agree. Also with gaming laptops with aluminum bottom cases you just need to make thermal contact between the heat pipes and the bottom case either with honeywell ptm 7950 or thermal putty depending on distance. Creating a much larger heat sink which you can either custom build dock or buy one for pretty cheap that can cool the entire thing while making almost 0 noise.

Exactly, normal paste pumps out pretty fast on bare dies like laptops and GPU's.

UP. I hope jayz sees this

This would make a good video, I've used ptm7950 for my cpu, gpu and my laptop and all of them now have lower temperatures. It's not as good as liquid metal but its hell of a lot safer.

Yeah, the improvement Jay saw is probably because the vrams are unable to dissipate their heat efficiently, causing the rest of the laptop to run a little bit cooler. It's perfect to kill the VRAM. I bet that thermal paste will last a couple of months, tops. PTM7950 + K5 pro is the way to go

@@TigTex instead of K5 use Upsiren Ux Pro. Doesn't leave oil residue, reusable, much easier to clean. laso K5 seems to boil at high temp, so not really good for laptop

@@tecnosalva14 K5 Pro is trash, seen many user "improvements" with that stuff. PCB's covered in outgassed silicone and isolating air bubbles where the putty should be.

Yes, especially with older notebooks, it's worth to repaste CPU and GPU chips, it significantly reduces noise level. I had a very loudly 2nd hand notebook, reopened it, and found out that the paste was completely removed 🙈After repasting, the thing got silent. Notebook are are a nightmare in this regard, because you need to disassamble the whole thing to get access to the CPU or graphic chip. Those devices should really have a better design in this regard.

I have an ROG g15AE. thank you for this man.

is it a pad or a paste? im trying to get some and its hard to trust any of the sellers on amazon

Mostly thanx to windows bloat. Back when win10 came out, it booted and operated pretty fast even from hdd's but a year or two of updates, and it moves at a snails pace on those.

​@@raifthemadnot true. It's because hdd's were never meant to be carried around and they would all get damaged. Writing an image of the old hdd to an SSD would result in the same performance jump. Source: I revived many laptops

@@fissavids8767 All I was saying, is that when win10 came out, it booted and worked pretty fast even on hdd's. And after years of updates, windows has become so bloated, that hdd's are a very slow option for that os now. I know. I fix electronics and back when first versions of win10 came out and were installed on machines with hdd's, they loaded stuff at ok speeds. But after a few years of updates, even installing fresh windows 10 on a new hdd has horrendous loading times. I never claimed, that windows was ever as fast on hdd's as it is on sdd's. I don't know where you got that from.

Who decides when you have to stop doing things?

@@emilefragz1885 Mr. Arth Ritis

@@emilefragz1885 I would say, the question is the opposite, who/what drives people to continue way after their prime? I would say in the case of Jay is their ego. just ask yourself, if you had a teenager learning computers, would you want that kid to hang out with a mid-40s all gray head dude?

@@DanielRodriguez-fg5ll Strawman

@@emilefragz1885 someone has to say the truth, even if it hurts. in this case, it is me. lets start the GoFundMe page for Jay to retire! wait, no! he must be making ton of money out of teenagers learning to put a computer together.

Yup seems odd seeing people still pushing paste for this. Once you go PTM 7950...thats it.

That would be some Apple MacBook stuff As if you couldnt change the thermal paste on a laptop, that would reduce its life a lot

You can repaste any CPU or GPU. But, you have to get the quantity right and in the right places. Ryzen is different than Intel.

You CAN do more. Jay just didn't show it here. Repasting is one part. Propping up the laptop like he did here is another. The last part is undervolting the CPU and GPU which he should've. Would've hit higher frequencies and lower temps.

Exactly. Whenever my laptop gets loud, I dust off the fans and heatsinks and they go back to normal volume.

Just used that in my water blocks for both cpu and gpu. I’m impressed with the results so far.

I would also love to see additional thermal testing using alternate pastes, sheets, etc.
