17:36 for liquid metal application ... check out my other vids for following up 5 months later and how to change your 1080p screen into 4K!
I have a similar model laptop and have been searching for a way to cool it for a while now. Linus recently covered liquid metal which lead me here. Thanks for posting this.
Hey man, nice vid! I have a GL702ZC, would the screen replacement work for that model too?
Screen replacement works, though what I show in the other video is how to basically give you "super resolution" on your existing monitor ... giving you up to 4x the stock resolution ... pretty nifty. With the human eye, it looks MUCH sharper in games! Also, costs you nothing!!
Great video man. I plan to do the same thing with my Asus G501J. Can you tell me a little bit about long term experience with liquid metal in your g702, pls? Is your heatsink still fine(corrosion or somehting like that happened?)? Stayed the lm where you applied it? Are temps still fine and are all cores around the same temp? (Heard about issues with uneven heatsink and lm) My G501 has only two screws(its the original design, no screws lost and no mounting points for 4) which are locking down the heatsink to the GPU die(but 4 screws on CPU side). Is that a problem? I know that are a lot of questions but you would help me a lot if you share some of your experience with me. I will donate of course if you give me your PayPal.
I have the g703 chimera i notice thermal paste on all the transistors. What thermal bad size should i use when i re do it... or would you recommend paste? On them. I will be doing liquid metal on gpu and cpu thank you and great work
Going for it this morning, wish me luck! Thanks a lot for this helpfull tutorial
Thank you for your video. I just ordered everything and I will follow your example. One of my fan was also very noisy, I have to change it at the same time. I will keep you updated!
ive been looking for this review every day thanks lol
Check out this followup video: kzhead.info/sun/griRYahxo6SeZn0/bejne.html
Holy shit this is the exact video ive been looking for. Thanks! I had ordered the ds74 until I realized you can't do upgrades on it so I switched to this model (rs71 from best buy) and got the exact same hard drive. Excited to see what this beast can do.

Thanks for posting this. I have a similar model laptop with terrible thermals. Will def be trying this out!
Thank you for this video it was really helpful and I am not going to do the grizzly paste but I am defiantly going to repaste it the right way and it should help out a ton! I am now way more excited about this laptop.

That focus is killing my eyes, daamn
Master guide for GL702XX Laptop owners. Thanks!
Thanks a lot for the detailed description. I just ordered this same laptop today )) After a few tests this will probably be one of the first things I will do with it.
Will do! Should arrive some time next week. Also ordered all the thermal parts you mentioned ))
Thanks Tyler! No way I am going to f..k this up, too precious for me )) I have some experience disassembling stuff, but even though I'll be extra careful with this one. The only thing I didn't order yet is the electrical tape, thought I can buy it anytime in a local hardware shop when the rest arrives. The "nail polish" method would be handy to see for sure. Hoping to get everything by the end of the next week, ordered all on eBay, including the laptop. The laptop I got is brand new , with the Kaby Lake chip and GTX1070, the most budget version with 12GB of ram, mechanical HDD and 75hz display (I read it can be overclocked to 100hz). It takes a couple of weeks to arrive from US to Ireland, still much cheaper than anything similar I would get here. I am a bit worried about the quality of the display, heard there is a really nice 120hz IPS panel available in the higher end versions. Are you having the 75hz screen? If yes - are you happy enough with it?

I have a gl503 with the 1070 and this video helped alot!!
Can you tell me please if you saw any difference in performance or any increase in GPU boost?
I have GL502VMK and i will try liquid metal next week, thanks! you are amazing!
Weltall-Id Yes i did it, cpu - 22 C decrease and gpu - 17C decrease, i also applied aluminium foil and i placed a heatsink on bridge chip.
Weltall-Id Also use intel extreme tunning utility to control your voltage apply -100mv and disable turbo boost short power max 60w DO NOT DISABLE TURBO BOOST just disable the short power max option. Cpu speed wont decrease, but maximum voltage will be 45W. -9C decrease if you apply these two things...
if you have "discord", i can tell you what you need to do next.
:) oh that's cool man, i am happy for you!
Thanks! :D
I have done It and i get 20 degree less than before, i posted It in the Asus forum with this video because It works like a charm.

20°C? Is this for real? I have a gl702vm and the temps were mad so I drilled the bottom case, now the max temps on the gpu are like 79°C after playing pubg for a hour. Do you think doing this repaste will help a lot more?
Pro tip: next time disconnect the battery :) you were super lucky this time.
Shocking!
how do you do it on this unit?
You have to completely unscrew the battery housing and then it just lifts out, taking care not to twist the battery connector that simply snaps to the motherboard.
One thing to note, there is a silver "slider" that has to move on the mobo connection before you can move the wire terminal.
what could happen ?
Hey thanks a lot, this video is really good. I just need help with something, where did you use the 0.5mm thermalpad and where did you use the 1mm thermalpad?
no reply yet? im still wating :_. did u finally go ahead with it?
I did and it worked well for one year. After that something happen with the GPU and it is broken. But I took the cpu, hdd and ssd away and build a desktop
@@kilerfull was it because of the liquid metal like did it short or what
@@Cowie-ze9kx I didn't use metal liquid, just thermal paste and the thermal pads. I am still not sure what happened, because he was working fine for some time.
@@kilerfull I’m gonna try liquid metal I just ordered some conductonaut off Amazon I don’t think it was your fault it broke really if you messed anything up you probably would’ve known right away
Guitar picks have their uses other than for playing guitar :D I always use them to disassemble laptops because they don't bend or scratch the plastic covers AND!! removing some hardened thermal paste !!!

Hi dude, nice video, one question just want to confirm... after this repaste with liquid metal you get high 80c and low 90 on full load in very requisite games???
This is a very helpful video! I have this exact laptop and it is beginning to heat up a little. I am considering opening and re-pasting. Quick question though - was there any seal or something along those lines which would tell the ASUS folks that the laptop has been opened? In case I run into any serious hardware trouble later, I will need the warranty to work.
Soumen Banerjee great question man. Actually. As ASUS ROG rigs are built for gaming enthusiasts, they anticipate people opening and upgrading components ... no warranty seals to be cautious of. What country are you in?
Hi bro! How's ur laptop now? Is there still throttling and high temps or u have fixed it? I want to get this one soon.
I'm in Singapore, and it is really hard to get thermal pads here. I finally managed to get some thermal pads, but I could only get 4 sheets of 50mmx50mmx0.5mm thermal pads. I read somewhere that one can stack thermal pads to make 1mm thick ones. I'm wondering if I have enough area to work with? I can't tell how big the memory things are. Any thoughts regarding how big the memory things are? I think they are about square, how many mm do you think they were?
Thanks for sharing the video. I am interested in this line of laptops but have reservations over the overheating. May just go for the acer helios or some other unit with larger heat sink. It's a shame they don't provide realistic cooling solutions for their products. I would pay a few extra bucks for the "conductonaut" version of this laptop from the factory.

I have the 1060 version and am thinking of doing the liquid metal. would clear nail polish work as well and how long? and how well does the electrical tape stay on in the long term?
It's a curious thing which nI don't know if you've focused on it. Heat pipes seem to be bathed in copper and under the copper there seems to be a different material, aluminum or steel perhaps? Another question, did you let the vinyl electrical tape to stay around processors or you took it away? Excuse me, maybe you've said it in the video but I don't understand English as good as I'd like
can you tell me which screws go on the front of the cover? 4 screws go, they are small but I don't know which ones they are. thank you
Good review!Really nice work!I bought also the GL702VS.I have I worrie...If I use the 1mm thermal pad (unfortunately I already bye it I didn't find the 50x50x0.5 like you)you believe I will have any issue or worst temperatures from you.What you believe?
Babtiista 👋 ... actually, you will want to use both the 1mm and the .5 mm, so you will need both anyway! Good thing you got that 1mm.
Thanks for the answer!Can I use ONLY the 1mm in all the Vrm?
Mr. T How wide and long were those thermal pad strips. I thee the pads come in 100x15mm wide strips.
Do you think about 3rd fan of GL702VM can be installed to GL702vs ? I think both model board is very similar.
Hi, I have a question about your laptop, does your laptop still working after a year without changing anything inside? Are all temps the same? I have a laptop g751jy but temps goes to 75C on high performance in iddle.
What is considered HOT and how do you get to see the temp I have this machine with a WD 500Gig M.2 NVMe PCIe SSD as the C drive right now the SSD is running at 46c
Do you think the PC can take full advantage of the bandwidth of a Samsung 960 PRO? Thanks, Regards
Hi! A couple of questions! How many pads of each size did you use? Why did you choose pads of different thickness? Does it make any difference? Did you have to cut pieces of matching sizes? I guess so, right?
What is the compound on the modules except CPU and GPU? I tried to find compound on modules around CPU. But I could not find it. I use the Asus GL553 laptop.
Great video! Just want to make sure the white goo on the other part that's not cpu and gpu is all thermal paste? You basically replaced it with thermal pads? Thanks!

Awesome tips! Want to LM my gl502 i7 7700k GTX 1070. Do you recommend the same steps, also with 1mm and 0.5mm thermal pads or should I Stick to only 1mm OR 0.5mm?? Thx for your help guys!
Lars Thelen hey there. You will be using the same 2 thicknesses of pads that I did in the video, the .5 and the 1.0, unless you have a component thermal compound. The heat dissipation on the components, while important, is not as important as it is on the CPU/GPU.
Thanks a lot for the Reply, will do so :)
Don't touch vrm at all, leave as it was
are the thermal pads important? can I just use the same thermal paste I'm using on the gpu and cpu for the mems??
did you use 1mm or 0.5mm pads?
How do you know which size thermal pads to use? I have a gl503
13:14 What kind of thermal pad or thermal paste does the memory modules and electrical coils and transistors have?????
I have a question, do we need to use the thermal pad or just remove the old paste and apply the new one and good to go?
I have the GL702VMK and initially was seeing around 85C-90C on CPU/GPU under heavy gaming load. I undervolted the CPU and disabled Intel Turbo (I know a lot of folks don't wanna do this, personally I am still happy with the performance I get.) I use an Opolar LC06 on each vent also. (they do fit, you just gotta work at it) With most games on max settings I get low-mid 60's on CPU and no higher than 72C on GPU. Thanks for the video. I will probably repaste down the road but I think I may have been one of the lucky ones with a good factory paste. After warranty I will probably also dremel holes in the bottom of the case to let this sucker breath.
That's still a pretty decent temp drop though. This is Tyler BTW ... made a new chan. Check out my video on further cooling, might help you out with a different solution: kzhead.info/sun/mbmHhNKZa5Odn5E/bejne.html
Hey I was wondering about the Opolar with this rear vented laptop. Could you post a picture of your setup with them plugged in so I could get an idea? Thank you!
Joe Leland photos.app.goo.gl/KrWFOk7mAoP9NOPu2
Joe Leland Here's a side angle, you can open the laptop at a right angle if you place them properly: plus.google.com/+drake9111/posts/JfzmaLRCeND
Just want to ask what did you do with your laptop? we have the same type and its about 80-90c too when idle about 60c. can you help me? What about the temp if I dont have the opolar lc06, it's pretty expensive here in Indonesia T_T
Can I just put paste on vram chips and transistors as well? I use noctua nt-h1 on processor and gpu.
Will 1 piece of 50x50x1 mm thermal pad suffice for the whole laptop?? If not what shall I do because I need to get these from another country and it takes months to arrive.
Hey Mr. T! Do you still have this laptop? How long did the repaste last? What are you rocking now?
I see everyone using thermal grizzly liquid metal thermal paste is it ok if i use another brand or preferable a cheaper liquid metal thermal paste?
does the liquid metal left in the tube expires or we can use it multiple times
Tyler Torgimson Did you do anything with the battery during all if it? i am about to upgrade my RAM on the same unit on it and wanted to know if we need to unplug the battery. If yes how do you do it?
Thibault Deneve yes you need to unplug the battery
Next time fix your focus man. But hey thanks for the detailed video.
Hello there, first of all, thank you so much for this video! :) I did the repaste with exactly the same parts for cleaning and the conductonaut LM, but on the GL702VM. Everything went well and the laptop turned on, but the temperatures were quite bad, it just got hotter :/ So I thought: "Maybe I was a little bit too careful with portioning the LM", so i just added a little bit more after opening it all up again. Now I got the same high temperatures and even higher ones on the CPU, do you got an idea what had possibly gone wrong? Thank you so much for any help!
hey brother hows your repaste going? im about to finally repaste my 702vm. hows the repaste compared to this video? i havent cracked my laptop open yet to see what the differences are. thanks!
Hi Tyler, I watched your first video, I was just in doubt about some things. 1) In which components did you use the 0.5mm and 1mm artic tape? 2) Do you clean the entire white paste of the components before applying the tape? 3) Why did you remove the protective film from the GPU and apply electrical tape? And why did you only do this on the GPU? Thank you for your help!
Diego Benedini I used the 1mm for all the other components other than the two lowest center areas you see when I have my case open. I did clean the entire white paste (goop) off the components and motherboard, using solution and cotton buds. Make sure to get any stray cotton fibers as well! The protective film around the GPU was much looser and wasn’t tightly stuck to the motherboard around the die like the film around the CPU is ... I didn’t want the chance of gallium getting on my motherboard and other components, so I retroactively removed the film and layed down the high temp pro tape, though you can also use clear nail polish/lacquer. Let me know how it goes for ya!
Can i use this guide for the gl502vm? The 15 inch version
I have the same laptop GL702vs RS-71. Only applied over the cpu, the same Grizzly Conductonaut. Welll.... Reopened PC and tried to cleaned heatstink 6 months later, the copper heatstink is now discolored gray. When I brush my fingernail over the discolored area, the once smooth surface is now ridged. Whelp, that sucks.
Great video. A few questions: 1. Do i need to remove the electrical tape from the gpu before putting the heatsink on again? 2. And where to put the 0,5mm thermalpad and where goes the 1mm thermalpad? Thank you!
1. I dont think so since the electrical tape is to prevent any damage if the liquid metal spills to your board. 2. You can get them on amazon, just search up arctic thermal pads
@@xomegaxz5799 Thank you :) but there are two different thick thermalpads. I would like to know which component on the Mainboard goes with 1mm and which one with only 0,5mm
@@Lycidias93 on the smaller components, the 0.5mm is fine and 1.0mm on the bigger components
@@Lycidias93 also this should be worth mentioning that I've read some people said that dont use electrical tape as they dont go well with high heat but use a kapton tape instead
@@xomegaxz5799 thanks for helping me 👍 i'll try it if Asus does not fix it under warranty
One of the more rewarding videos I have watched on KZhead recently. It's disappointing to see how poorly the factory compound was applied and what was that compound? It suggested that ASUS maybe has a decent enough design department but the manufacturing department is run by bean counters. Do it properly ASUS, do it properly..
Thanks for the review Bro. planning to buy it . Do you think its worth it for present + future Gaming . Again thanks for the detailed video .
Thanks for the reply . I have not bought any gaming pc so , so I was worried if I bought a laptop , how long it going to last , coz i am getting into College thats why preferring the mobile thing . and one more question please , what should be my pc`s normal temperature under rest (normal run) and fully stressed condition?

how long will it take for liquid metal pasted laptop to be maintained?
i changed the thermel paste on my rog laptop and when i attach the second ram it doesn't start but when i take it out it works just fine what could be the problem if some boby knows
Excellent
i have a qeustion. is the videocard also being used if your just watching youtube or browsing the web? canbt really find an answer online. some msi laptops only use the videocard when the power is required. great pasting i did that too on my old laptop had 20 degrees difference as well.
thanks for you answer. i disagree about your idea though. Having constant your videocard used it produce heat. I really don´t need a gtx1070 to watch your video on youtube. I used to have asus before 2x and had issues with the videocard. Now i own a msi for 3 years and the videocard only kicks in when i play games or other heavy graphic software. Otherwise the videocard is off not producing heat extending its life time and energy (battery). But it is just what you looking for.
i did others say this laptop has a IGPU hehe. thanks for your answer again. it helps me with researching.
What is the maximum read and write speed of the SSD?
I just repaste my gl702vm with conductonaut, nothing change any idea? Gpu still reach 86-87 celcius
i'm use a late 2016 Gl502VT and play a game with 79-84' it's nomal? play dota 2 at max setting 6700hq with gtx 970m
Is it same design with Asus GL702ZC-GC104T ?
I think i will do this also to my new Asus Notebook ;)
How did you know to order the .5mm and 1.0mm thermal pads? there are 1.5mm pads available as well, would they work even better for the gddr modules?
I measured between the distance and depth differences, I am sure you would be fine using 1mm all around though, or even up to 1.5 in place of where I used 1mm, but it suited the purpose :-) ... if you end up using 1.5, let me know! Also, check out my further updated vids here kzhead.info/sun/mbmHhNKZa5Odn5E/bejne.html
Hi Mr T! I have a couple of questions to ask you. I ordered this laptop, I'm picking it up in 7 days from now, and I am ready to do the re-pasting as soon as I get my hands on it. I've found Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut 1g in my country, but I have questions about other accessories that you used: 1. About the thermal pads, they sell only ones with these dimensions: 200 x 20 x 1.0 mm / 200 x 20 x 0.5 mm, so I wanted to ask do you the accurate measurements of pads that you used after cutting? Can you recommend me how many packs of pads of each should I buy (ex: 2 of 200 x 20 x 0.5 mm, 1 of 200 x 20 x 1.0 mm) so it is enough? 2. We don't have any of ArctiClean products, what can replace it? Can I use 70%/90+% alcohol? Recommend me something, please. 3. I asked about the Super 33+ VET, nobody has a clue what is it. Is there any replacement? I live in Serbia, can you check our online stores and find me anything equal to the tape you used? Thank you in advance!
Petar Grahovac Hey there Petar - Thanks for checking out my vid. First off, order just 1 x 200 pad of each the .5 and the 1mm .. that will be plenty. Use as pure alcohol as you can as second step of cleaning, for second step, use a citrus oil cleaner (like goo gone). If you can't get the tape you need, use clear fingernail polish lacquer and paint on 3 layers (10 minute dry time between layers), and paint it around the gpu and cpu dies. Make sure to subscribe!
Are you sure one pack of 20x200mm pads each will be enough? I don't really get when to use pure alcohol and when to use citrus oil cleaner, can you describe it to me? Should I apply polish lacquer on that brown thing around dies?
I live in a dorm room with carpet floor. Should I get something to remove static electricity? Also, I have the GL702VM which has an additional fan, that I cannot see yours have. And one last thing, is it extremely important to take out the battery while doing this process? Thanks!
With static electricity, as long as you have your laptop plugged into a grounded outlet, you should be fine, though for ease of mind, I always use either an in-line or a strip with surge protection built in. I lost many comments as I re-branded the page just now.

Mr. T's Tips plugged into grounded outlet? You mean plug the charging cable in?
I just finished putting the Grizzly Conductonaut on my Acer Predator. Holy shit! In PUBG the CPU would go between 80-95c after a couple games. Now it goes between 55-68c. The fans don't even spin up much. I should have done this ages ago!
Svperstarr awesome man! Glad to hear. Install of conductonaut went smoothly? Just for shits, try slapping a -0.100 undervolt to your cpu and see temps drop even more lol
I haven't undervolted it yet. The conductonaut went well but I put waaaaaaaaay too much on the heatsink so i just used that to do the whole job. The best thing is how quiet the laptop is now. The fans don't even need to do anything.
I believe most other components around the die will be nickel, though you will want to make sure there is no aluminum around where the excess went (if any). Overall though, sounds like you put just the right amount, and glad to hear it worked! Make sure you check out my other video that I just recently did, 5 months later, so you can get an idea of what you will be looking at and cleanup. I HIGHLY suggest a reapplication in 5 months, as it will just start building a bond INTERNALLY with the copper and will require a bit more galium than last time, though after the re-application, you will see even better temps! What temps are you getting when you run fans on max?
Fans on max it goes 56c inside PUBG.
Yeah man, that's great seating of the heat sync and die ... great job!
i have same laptop same paste same settings and i have 90oC in stress 77oC in idle help me please
Just tried to use liquid metal on my ROG GL702VMK (GTX 1060), my thermal throtteling problems are not changed at all. Playing, the CPU (i7-7700HQ) is always at about 20% thermal throtteling.
Stupid question: On the before picture, it looked like there was some gunk on the memory modules. Was that paste or a terrible melted thermal pad? Could I use a conventional thermal compound, or are pads the way to go?
Don't use thermal paste on the vram ... They had used some type of thick paste, but all is well just replacing it with pads as I did
I have the g703 chimera gonna do the same. I just got thermal pads 1mm thickness seems all the new ASUS have the crazy goop stuff on the transistors.
What's the difference between the vs and vsk model?
My keyboard stopped working after taking it apart, cleaning the old thermal compound using ArcticClean 1 & 2, applying new thermal compound Arctic MX-4, and putting back together. I believe my error was that I did not make sure the ArcticClean liquid that I used to clean the old thermal compound completely dried. Anyway the keyboard is showing up on windows device manager but the keyboard is not lighting up nor are any keys responsive. Only thing that working on the keyboard is the surface pad. Maybe a accidentally loosened up the keyboard connector when I had it open? Where is the keyboard connector located?
fixed? if not answer on this comment i can explain it
the thickness of those pads is very important. are you sure 0.5 mm and 1 mm (for the memory modules) are the right ones? ty
Yes ... Before I sold it, I ran it for over 2 years overclocked the entire time with no heating issues and upon taking it back apart, the pressure indent was as good if not better than most factory installs.
kzhead.info/sun/fdCQqL6PoIxnoI0/bejne.html
Would this procedure be the same on a GL702VM? It seems about the same... Also is there a good paste that you can recommend that is safer to work with? I have also heard of cutting slots under the fans on the cover to increase airflow, would this have any negative side effects?
I drilled holes to my gl702vm and got about 10 degrees lower , im about to repaste and repad this weekend just like this video.(excuse my bad english), same pads and artic mx4 for the cpu and gpu (very safe paste).

Hi i got this laptop (1060 x i7 7700hq) and apllied the paste (even a little bit more than u do ) and it still has like 60 idle temperatures, what can be the issue? I use grizzly conductonaut.

Tyler, what was your room temperature at the time of recording this video ? that you got 55c under load? i get 90c for my cpu and 85c for my gpu im using arctic silver 5 and my room temp during the day is almost 34c which feels like 38c since its humid where i live... ( for cpu only load tests, my temps max out at about 70c)
Tyler Torgrimson the fans go to max automatically when cpu temp hit 80c and gpu temps hit 75c. The cpu is already unvervolted (.110mv) and locked at 2.8ghz. gpu is set to 0.8250mv @1708mhz.
Tyler Torgrimson I ment -0.113mv hehe... I took the liberty of pulling the back cover off and manually hooking up a fan connected to a external power supply and set it to 12v. fan rpm (5000rpm) and cfm remained the same... I guess they fixed the fans not maxing out in a bios update which I did about 2 months back.
Tyler Torgrimson I figured my limiting factor was just my ambient since at uni in a room temp of 24ish c , my gpu tops out at 75c and cpu at 77c. I guess the cooler can't dissipate heat fast enough once the ambient climbs over 30c. but this is Sri Lanka so I don't have much of an option as such.
Tyler Torgrimson thanks alot for the advice tho! appreciate it a bunch. I was just really curious of your room temp at the time of the video so I could see if I can replicate your load temps just to see if metal repasting is worth the risk over a good tim such as AS5.
Tyler Torgrimson I ran a quick test , I never hit 70c on either lol.. but it's super impractical and I'm always on the move :D , cheers mate
lol my ear exploded during the intro
Hopefully you can still read this comment: I tried your thermal pad method where I apply the 0.5mm to the mosfets and 1mm to the chokes but the 0.5mm Isn't making contact to the heatsink? Did you adjust the metal brackets of the heatsink?
do you have the exact same model? When I take mine back apart, you can see in the follow-up video that they made perfect contact. You can always double them up though with negligible issues to the heat dissipation.
@@MrTsTips I have the gl502 one, I'll try it again the next time I'll repaste. Thanks
I see that it says plainly on the circuit board near the M.2 slot that it is a PCIe / SATA interface. Did you NVMe SSD work in that slot? Or, did you have to replace it with a SATA M.2 SSD?
So ... the same M.2 form factor can accept either an NVMe or a SATA device? I was under the impression that there are different "keyed" M.2 interfaces (A, B, C, M); and, that not all of them are capable of accepting both B (PCIe x2) and M (PCIe x4) keyed devices.
What were the temperatures before? pads 0.5 or 1mm? have gl502vs. 90c in game. need remetall :)
Hey, got the same computer, did you do the repaste ? I plane to go with a Kryonaut instead of conductonnaut, what about the pads ? Ho by the way, 90°C is the max for this computer, it get hard downgrade after that to keep it not warming more, if you look at your frequency you'll see it dropping a lot from 1600+ to 1200 ich in demanding game...
i know its 2years old video, but i still cannot find clear answer. is is safe to put liquid metal in gl703gs(not 702) on both-gpu and cpu? and if anybody know, what should be the thickness of thermal pads, 0.5mm or 1mm?
I use thermal paste on some really small tranzistors that had goop even between them, on my asus 705GM. Temps are great, but sometimes it has a buzzing noise, while gaming. I don't know if it was buzzing before, cuz play with headphones, and now the fans are quieter. The thermal paste touched some transistor pins, like the goop did.
Do i need to tape cpu too?
So while gaming I am holding around 86-90C with my CPU and 80C with my GPU. I didn't use the liquid metal but I used Arctic MX-4 thermal paste instead. Are these good temps? I didn't do anything about any kind of fan leak because I don't know what to look for there.
Those are a little hot, depending on the temps of your room. How cool is the room you game in, and what game are you playing to get those temps, and what graphics setting? Many factors come into play. I lost many comments as I re-branded the page just now.

Wow, so much easier to work on this laptop than my G751. To get at the heatsink I had to tear the whole thing down, screen removed, motherboard removed. I was getting thermal throttling on my g751 so repasted with Kryonaut. Now zero thermal throttling. Fans now have a good 300-400rpm left in them to bring temps down at my new max temp of 89c. Previously the cpu was gitting 95c and throttling up to 20% after just a few minutes of Aida64, CPU+FPU+GPU stress test. 95c is the throttle point for my cpu. Surprisingly before the repaste I saw up to 25% throttling in COD ww2. All sorted with the repaste. No undervolting done.
How many mm is the thermal pad? Thanks
Where did you put 0,5mm thermal pads and where 1,0mm thermal pads? What is the differences?
"Diego Benedini I used the 1mm for all the other components other than the two lowest center areas you see when I have my case open." His reply to somebody's question.
Namaneo if you can use thinner then use thinner because thickeness of the thermal pad could also work as a insulator
hi.. great vid! may i ask if its okay to use thermal grease instead of those thermal pads to the cores? thanks in advance!
@@sukarikoanaibi7832 I would like to know that as well
@@AllAboutCigarsKSA yes
What type of screwdriver do i need
I did this on my GL702VMK and didnt get the results i was expecting.. I used Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut and Gelid Solutions GP Extreme Thermal pads (W/mK 12).. It did drop 5-10c in stress test on max fan speed which i alright but was kinda expecting miracles too happen like 20c.. I did cover the air leaks and i checked several times that i applied the LM correctly (i am familiar with LM). Next step is modding the bottem cover. I ordered a spare bottom piece on ebay as i dont want to cut in the orginal and then there might be a slight chance that ill keep my warranty.
Bingo Bongo check that you used enough LM on the dies. Don't skimp. Also, to reap all of the benefits, you have to undervolt the overzealous factory clock on the CPU by using Intel XOC tool.
As i said. I am familiar with LM, and i checked serveral times. I tried with a little bit more, a little bit less but got somewhat same result. I could try again tho.. I didn't mention it earlier but i already undervolted both GPU and CPU. But thanks for you're time and guidance :)
For those who are interested in heat dispersion without opening the case: Stock voltage: 5 minute load test peaked at 77*C fans ran around 4200 rpm Under-volt CPU by -.12v: 5 minute load test peaked at 66*C fans at 3200 rpm Added a 10 year old dual 80mm fan laptop cooler to under-volted CPU: 5 minute load test peaked at 62*C fans at 2900 rpm Idle, under-volted, laptop cooler: 40*C fans at 2200 rpm Getting a newer (ordered) laptop cooler with (4) 120mm fans will really help cool these poorly ventilated cases. Thanks Tyler!
Got my cooler in today. went with this one: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B016PMVM7Q/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I was surprised for $21 that I got a great open air design with (4) 120mm fans. Unfortunately, Amazon didn't pack it well and the box was beat up and the grate over one fan indented to the point of contacting the fan. Fixed it with pliers. On to testing: I ran three load tests with similar results. The fans ran between 2400-2900 RPMs and the average CPU temp was 58*C. A bit cooler but also quieter. At some point I should rerun all the stress tests with the laptops fans set at a static speed. That would show exactly how much each change is worth.

What is the black tape sticks the heat sink and the motherboard, I accidentally removed it while trying to apply the new thermal compound and now it doesn't stick again like before
yeah same here , now my pc is overheating AF
hello I wanted to know if your touchpad has sunk in the left button, and if there is a way to fix it, thank you
~TC CLUB CAE hasn't happened to me, but you could take pics and post them online to google drive, then share me link to the directory, or other photo sharing method, then I can see what's going on with it. Have you removed the motherboard and internals to get to touchpad yet? Is it still under the 1 year warranty?
is that 1mm thermal pad ?
can this Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut Thermal Grease Paste - 1.0 Gram change with another? because it cannot send to my country Indonesia
Tyler Torgrimson thank you for your kindness, now i order this from eBay and can send it to my country
great work bro m gonna buy it soon but my reseller has 75hz screen version. should ibuy it or go with the 120hz which i have to import from Usa and comes with 1 year warranty and dont know about what comes out of the box cz resellers in usa are not much reliable sometimes according to customers review on amazon etc And on the other hand my reseller gives 2 years warranty but only prob is 75hz screen. oc the screen is possible or not? i have no idea how to do it. and it is definitely gonna affect my battery. what do you say? and what is the difference in buying dorectly from asus and from a reseller? is there a difference in quality assembly or something like that? btw excellent video. and really appreciate that you reply to almost everyone. big thumb up!

ahsan bukhari I just uploaded a new video which shows you how to get your 1080p screen into 4K for free and how to overclock and turn the 75Hz screen into 100Hz.
Mr. T's Tips thank you for the reply and does screen Over clocking affects battery endurance?
ahsan bukhari nope, doesn’t decrease battery life or performance. It’s a great way to get a faster refresh to match your frames per second ... if you buy the 75Hz, it’s a must do! Watch this video I made kzhead.info/sun/griRYahxo6SeZn0/bejne.html
Mr. T's Tips really appreciate your reply. Every one would love to see more from you. thank you so very much and please stay in touch. If i get your email it would be great :-) have a nice day
What specific measure of each artic tape you used? For me to only buy the necessary quantity
In your opinion, is it worth the use of all these products from the list? There was no damage to the laptop?

Hey man. Can i use thermal paste instead of thermal pads? I have the same unit as yours. Thanks!
gabriel justine ramos sure, on the components. Just make sure it's not the same type of thermal paste you normally use on the CPU OR GPU.
Mr. T's Tips may i ask why? I plan to use coolermaster paste for gpu and cpu. It’s not electroconductive.
gabriel justine ramos yes sure, use that on the GPU and CPU, I was just saying to not use that same thermal paste on the VRAM and other components. Try to get pads if you can, or get the type of thermal paste they used at the factory. Try to use liquid metal for the GPU and CPU if you can ... works MUCH better for cooling.
Mr. T's Tips i get it now. Thanks, man! Huge help!
gabriel justine ramos for sure man!
Hello. Could you please help me? I put the liquid metal on my gl702vs, but changes was not significantly. In Intel stres test in stock termopaste the processor was stable 70* (with -110 undervolt), after liquid metal it is 60-61*. on idle I have temperature around 45* (CPU/GPU). When I run the full GPU and CPU load my GPU was 80*, CPU 95*.....after liquid metal GPU same 80* CPU 85*....What can be a problem? I put enough liquid metal.
or should it take aome time untill liquid metal will start working?
@@robotospy Liquid metal doesn't cure, it stays liquid. Check changing your T-pads on your memory and where T-pads are before removing them when you are re-pasting your GPU and CPU. I personally use K5 PRO viscous thermal paste for thermal pad, and I use Arctic MX-4 for CPU and GPU T-paste. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00K04D3UK/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
@@robotospy It doesn't cure.
Thats actually funny. I watched your video because I had the exact same laptop here and wanted to LM it too.. Now that I chose a different laptop (GL702VI with 1080) I opened it up to do the same. Will try to use the same pads 0.5 and 1 mm on the Vram chips and voltageregulators.. Now the funny part is, that the voltage regulators of the CPU have a heatsink but there was no thermalpaste on them at all.. But different to your laptop they put thermal compound on big square ones (voltage regs.) of the GPU, the small ones beside them AND the ones on the other side that are I'd say of medium highth (as seen at 10:37, the 4 black ones above the 3 square ones). I am not sure why though. The voltageregulators of your cpu had thermal paste on them, so I guess someone messed up in the factory.
sprousaTM it sounds like it! The compound is typically for heat transfer/dissipation from metal to metal. I'd say you are fine using a combination of the two different pad sizes. Any pics of it?
