Thank you for your feedback! If you wish to support the channel, you can like, subscribe, or both! Regarding your question, there is no exact date, the date for every individual person is different. depending how many hours of use and dusty environment and many other factors. the best you can do is if you a heady user, then do this: service the laptop now, take a note of the date and open the laptop in a year and check the thermal paste consistency and the fan and the heatsink how clean or dirty it is. base on that you can push the next service date to 1.5year or lower it to 8months. use a good thermal paste like: amzn.to/49UfkWn Should you have any further questions or requests in the future, please don't hesitate to ask me. cheers🍻 This is an Amazon affiliate link.

thanks for the tear down and replacement replacement as the GF66 is almost identical to that of the GL66 11UEK.. please update yout title to include the GL model. also any tutorial on replacing the thermal paste with Liquid Metal.. and how it would perform? 😊

[@uFixTek]

Thank you for your feedback! If you wish to support the channel, you can like, subscribe, or both! Regarding your question, title changed "GL66 11UEK" 🫠 i would recommend you not to place a LM on this laptop as the heatsink is a pure copper, the LM will not damage the copper nor eat it. but it will dry the LM over few months and you will have a bad day in a year. if you wan to go MAX, go with "Thermal Grizzly KryoSheet" amzn.to/3u062c1 it is better than LM and it is solid and permanent and won't react to copper nor the copper with it. just place "kapton tape" around the GPU and CPU crystal to cover the capacitor (don't place on top of the crystal). then place the KryoSheet over the GPU and CPU if it is bigger than crystal it is perfectly fine. and then you can enjoy the best performance that you can get. Should you have any further questions or requests in the future, please don't hesitate to ask me. cheers🍻 This is an Amazon affiliate link.

[@DavinTanus]

How can you remove the battery connector cable so easily? Mine is very difficult to pull out, and I'm afraid to tug on the cable

[@uFixTek]

Don't worry, my friend. As long as you slide (pull towards the battery) the jack straight, you'll be fine. Use force and slide the jack back, and it will get removed. Also, if you need more room to do this, remove the 3 screws that touch the battery, so you can move the battery to a different angle to get more space to pull the cable.

[@wujason8688]

Hello, I would like to know what screw sizes are for the fan, the cpu/gpu part and the screws that keep the cover on. Also whether or not if the screws are the same for the 11UE model. Thank you!

They CPU/GPU are m.2 screws 2.5mm and the cover is: m2 x6mm

@@uFixTek Then what about the fans, I do want to know because I have longer screws for the cpu/gpu compared to the screws that holds the fan to the motherboard, can't tell if thats normal or not.

The fans are a bit longer. Did you loosen the screws, or didn't you organize the screws when you removed them?

Hello Sir, I have a GF66 11 UE model device. Does thermal paste dry in 1 year? How much temperature difference does mx-4 create compared to the original thermal paste? On my computer, FPS drops occur after 10-15 minutes in games. If I renew thermal paste, will it fix it? Thank you. Thanks.

yes it will drop dramatically, but if you use: thermal grizzly kryonaut the mx-6 is good too but the grizzly is the best.

[@uFixTek]

It's my pleasure my friend. 🫠Regarding your question, the Honeywell thermal pad is an excellent choice. Just place the pad over the GPU and CPU, and it's done. There's nothing special to worry about (don't worry if it crumbles when placing it, as the Honeywell thermal pad is very thin). cheers🍻

[@abdulkermatmc_]

How did Honeywell perform? How are the temperatures? Thanks.

[@mustafas.7178]

@@abdulkermatmc_ So as for now, the tempratures are ok, when I enable Turbo for CPU in MSI Center, meaning the full power, the tempratures were before about 90-95, now they are at 78-80. Same goes for GPU, before 86, now around 80. It could be better, but for laptop I do not think it is possible somehow to go lower. I still suggests to do the repaste as you can also clean the fans, which were very very dusty in my case.

[@mustafas.7178]

@@uFixTek Do you think, it is possible to go lower than around 80 degrees? The thing is, I have a 34 inch monitor plugged in and I play on 120fps, so all that makes the tempratures go high even after repasting, but for now in a acceptable range.
