So I´ve swapped TIM + TPADS on the GPU and CPU, I used Gelid GC-Extreme as TIM, and some 0,5mm Tpads rated 14W/mK. In my pictures if there is no + infront of the blue numbers, it means temp has decreased. Room temp were 21C when doing all these tests.

I did test with default idle temp, idle temp with new TIM+TPADs, and idle temps with new TIM+TPAD+ No Backplate.

I then did Heaven 3.0 benchmarks to stress the GPU in a realistic way I did 3 consecutive runs for each(All set to high) Like befor i did tests with. Default, new TIM + TPAD, and new TIM + TPAD + No Backplate.

I then did prime95 for 2min (thats what it took to complete one task) with default, and with new TIM + no backplate.

----------
And here is pictures of the teardown, and showing how I kept the screws arranged. Reason for keeping the screws like that, is that it just makes it a lot easier. And i like to make sure each screw gets back in the correct place it came from, even if the screws look alike.

That was well done! Nice temp drop. Also great diagrams and post.

Thanks, it took me a while to take it apart. But always better to do it slow and careful the first time 😄 Was surprisingly easy to take apart, and funny thing is the only void warranty sticker I found was on one screw for the CPU heatsink. So support telling us we will void warranty for just taken it apart are quite wrong ;D

dayummm
Prime95
mine does a maximum of 100 Celcius literally before the fans kick in... and hover at 80-87 Celcius
also in Handbrake from cold boot, and from an idle state.

so does that mean there's something wrong with my BIOS in the fan kick in department?

I know, I found it humorous myself. Also finding traces in removal of parts is near impossible to distinguish apart from factory installation if you are good and careful enough in assembling everything back together again. This is literally an unspoken rule most people will act in line with most warranty related products.

I'd start by downloading HWiNFO64 and run it in sensors-only mode, there you can find out what your fans are running at first. It looks like you might have to clean your fans/sink fin areas out or possibly looking at a repaste.

I use HWINFO, and I've repasted mine with MX-5

well, i guess I just have to repaste it, sometime in August..

And I'm in the process of modding the case like you did with the grills 😉

You mean AS5 or MX-4?

That's cool, don't forget to post pics up when you're done.

SpasTaz0917 · ‎07-10-2013

yes I meant MX-4, used to use AS5 but wouldn't risk shorting something...

yes, will post them someday on your thread.

for OP
what brand were the thermal pads you used?

adamsyes · ‎07-13-2013

may I ask where you bought the Thermal Pads? I am trying to find ideal ones at 0,5mm but I can't find them anywhere. I found few on amazon but they are only 1,5mm so I don't wanna risk it lol

Kawazu · ‎07-15-2013

Did the same thing but used a thicker silicone based thermalpaste instead of those pads and a silver based on the GPU/CPU

Have 40-41c idle on the cpu and the cores go from 67-71c after 20-25min of prime95
And when i have not used my laptop for a while my GPU drops to 37c but when when browsing it goes up to 42-43c.
Furmark gave me 82c at stock clock.

Edit: Ran some heaven sessions, did i use the same settings as you did?

G75 Changed TIM + TPADS. With tests. (warning many pictures)
