Thank you for the video Chris! Could be nice if you would say the difference in temperature of the CPU before and after replacement! Thank you again, nice laptop still in 2023!
Good point! It is hard to quantify whilst various apps are running but my idle temperatures went from in the 50 C range down to mid 40 C range. It was certainly an improvement which meant that the fan was that much quieter. Also, it is rare that the CPU hits the maximum 95 C temperature now, by which time it would be thermal throttling!
LOL - that is not required. What do you think the battery is going to do!? Explode? Also, Arctic Silver is fine, a much better upgrade to what was there from factory!
If you can it is always worth it, but you may be able to see from the video that my heatsink had a cut out for the 'other' die so didn't seem to make any contact. I believe that the GPU (Intel® HD Graphics 520) is integrated into the CPU.
@@NoName-eq9md It's the PCH (platform controller hub) that's supposed to be running at a much lower temperature than the CPU, meaning that if you put thermal paste on it, it will heat up by extracting heat from the heatsink of higher temp. If it comes without thermal paste from the factory, you'd probably better off without it.
I think you would be hard pressed to change the motherboard but certainly worth adding some extra memory and ensure you have a high speed SSD drive installed.
@@locngo6001 You should only apply a small drop in the middle of the die. Then install the fan and that is it. Look for other tutorials on youtube for reference.
There is no correct way lol :) It is so open to personal interpretation. Some slap it on and cover the die, others put on just a smear. This is my way. This is RU-vid not School or university :)
