Hey Pio, is it okay to put thermal paste on the memory u removed with thermal pads?

[@PioSoesetio308]

Yes it's okay, just make sure that u apply enough thermal paste that it touches the heatsink. You might need to replace it more often though, compared to using thermal pads.

[@krishnanagar4893]

Hey Pio bro I have the same laptop. Can you please send me your discord so that I can add u a friend. I have so many questions and there's so much to discuss regarding thermal throttling, thermal pastes, thermal pads on memory sticks, laptop coolers, and too much. I'm so confused and I watch your videos cuz u have this particular laptop model and you explain everything very well and provide detailed information which is missing while watching other youtubers' videos. You are great brother. Please help me out bro I'm suffering a lot with this laptop. Please

Hello, i have an ASUS Tuf FX504 laptop and it freezes right after i booted it. I went to a repair shop and got replacement for my SSD and HDD + cleaned up the hardware. Yet, it still freezes. I dont know what to do anymore. Sad.

[@bishaljyotideka6771]

Great video man. I have the same laptop from last 2 years. Recently like from a week my laptop gets overheated real quick and then throttles. Ater playing any game for around 1 hour the fps drops huge and CPU and GPU temp reaches 92°C. I really don't wanna mess up opening and replacing the thermal paste cause I've never done it before, so do you have any idea hoe much it costs in a service center ? And also if my problem will get solved after replacing the thermal paste ?

[@PioSoesetio308]

Thanks! I would recommend just opening it yourself, just follow the tutorial and you'll be good. If you decide to get it replaced in the service center, the service charge is around $20 in my area plus you'll need to buy the thermal paste. The service charge costs more than the thermal paste itself, not worth it imo.

[@aliananza1990]

hey i heard that kingpin kpx has not great longevity, how is your application holding is it still running well?

[@PioSoesetio308]

Yes, it's not the best paste in terms of longevity. It dries out faster than other paste like the arctic mx4. Gotta replace it once a year, or when it gets hot.

[@TomySTS]

Hi, it's ok to put the same thermal paste everywhere? Others said that we should use thermal pads... Any differences?

[@PioSoesetio308]

It is recommended to use thermal pads. But thermal paste is also fine, just apply more thermal paste to make sure the VRMs are making contact with the heatsink. One downside to using thermal paste instead of thermal pads is that they need to be replaced more frequently.

[@keywoodsluca9056]

Hi i hope u see this 😄 I really enjoy your videos, you are the only KZbin Channel wich makes good videos about this laptop... My laptop has an Intel core I7 8th Generation and a gtx 1050 ti. At the beginning it worked very well but now the temperature gets in word or even only on the desktop to 80 or more degrees. Is this only cause of the thermal paste is dried out or is there any bigger problem, every fan works by the way. Its now 1 year old and the performance dropped drastically. Do you have any solution for this? Best regards Luca from austria 🇦🇹

[@PioSoesetio308]

Thanks! Yes, it's the thermal paste. I would highly recommend replacing it. Your laptop probably also has more background apps that contributes to it heating up. But yes, replacing the thermal paste will definitely help.

[@hubertpontus3012]

Hi Nice video. Helpful and easy to understand. I have a question: How much paste have you used? Will 1g of thermal paste be enough?

[@spacestray]

Hey, I recently repasted my FX504GM ( i5 8300H, 1060 6GB) with thermal grizzly after referring your video, The performance jump is huge, seeing temps at low 80s or less with hours of gaming, but still, like you mentioned the CPU gets power limit throttled in both games (25W) and stress tests (45W after turbo window closes) and is not able to achieve that 3.9GHz on all cores all the time, I thought I almost found a fix with undervolting my GPU but then it was only apparent with some games and not very consistent. One weird thing I noticed while repasting was the no. of heat pipes in my system, I have 3 tubes (1 shared to CPU+GPU and 1 for each separately) while every video of this online has 2 and is getting slammed for bad cooling, ASUS made it exclusive to 1060 variants ig. anyway thanks for the instructive video!

[@PioSoesetio308]

No probs. Yeah it's just the way ASUS designs the power management to the cpu and gpu. The cooling system wouldn't be able to cool the cpu and gpu simultaenously at the maximum rated tdp.

[@krishnanagar4893]

Since you haven't replied on my comment I'll ask everything here, no worries. So first thing, I'm confused what to use to clean the thermal paste? Second, I'm confused among these thermal pastes to choose from - Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut, Gelid GC Extreme, Kingpin Cooling KPX, IC Diamond, Antec Nano and Antec Formula 7. Third, I'm confused whether to buy a 5 fan laptop cooling pad or not? Or a good Vaccum cooler?

[@krishnanagar4893]

Also should I use thermal pads on SSD and RAM sticks? Also, after doing all these stuffs will my laptop (which is troubling from the moment I bought it) start performing decent and cool?

[@PioSoesetio308]

You can use alcohol to clean the old thermal paste. Either Kingpin KPX or Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut is good, I've heard about Gelid GC Extreme but I'm not too sure. Laptop cooling fans doesn't really do much as it only cools the outer surface of the laptop. Using a laptop stand or anything that gives room below the laptop for it to intake air will do the job.

[@PioSoesetio308]

@@krishnanagar4893 There is no point in using a thermal pad unless you plan to put a heatsink on top of it, but there's probably not enough room to do so. So no point in doing that. Laptop's RAM don't get hot anyway as they're not overclockable and run in lower speed and timing compared to the desktop counterpart.

Wow ok good to know that I am not alone. My laptop has been starting to run super hot and throttling. Having 2 years before you have to repaste is really dumb

[@PioSoesetio308]

It's the fans that causes ur laptop to heat up. And no, overboost doesn't cause fan damage. Maybe you dropped or laptop, something got inside the fan or something that caused it to break. I ran my laptop at overboost most of the times and I use this laptop around 12-16 hours a day, no problem with fans. Thermal paste will degrade over time and you will need to replace it, but in your case, it was the fans, not thermal paste.

Hi bro! Its good to know and learn from your video. I just want to ask, since i'm planning to do service myself on my asus tuf fx505. For the vram, is it necessary to use thermal pads? Or thermal paste is enough already? I'm quite a newbie, at a point where i don't see any difference between thermal paste and thermal pads. It would be helpful if you can help explain to me. Thank you!

[@PioSoesetio308]

It's better to use the appropriate thermal pads, I just didn't have any thermal pads laying around and I don't think it's really necessary. If you are using thermal paste, just be sure that the paste touches the heatpipe. One downside to using thermal paste on the VRAM is that you might need to replace it more frequently compared to thermal pads. It is however more thermally conductive than thermal pads.

The performance of the laptop was limited because of it's temps before u replaced the thermal paste, hence why it ran slower. After replacing the thermal paste, it can run faster because it's not limited by the temps. That's good to hear. As to why it ran hotter, I'm not sure.

Try changing that, but do keep in mind you'll be losing performance. If it only hits 100 degrees for let's say 5 seconds, it's fine.

Hi, I've Same laptop with i5 & 1050ti. Its heating too much while gaming (>90 degrees), only getting avg 40 FPS in low settings in GTA V. After knowing about Throtlling, I checked that i was Previously in BIOS v317, TDP was locked in 25W, power throttling was there always, thermal Throtlling occurs in high GPU benchmark tests/gaming. Cinebench R20 Score was around 1100. After updating BIOS today to v318: TDP unlocked, power throttling gone, thermal Throtlling still there. Cinebench R20 Score 1200+. These are observations in XTU (Excluding Cinebench). But gaming still lags, and its overheating. So I uninstalled XTU completely and Undervolted the CPU, and iGPU to -141.6 mw by ThrottleStop, also adjusted GPU curve in Afterburner. Gaming slightly improved but not that much now getting avg 45 fps, but the temperature of both GPU and CPU gone nearly 90 degrees.

Yes, you're doing it right. For me personally -141.6 mV is unstable, but hey, if it's stable on urs, good for you.

@@darshanparbadiya7348 Games doesn't require 45w of cpu power. It doesn't need a 6 core processor to run at full utilization, games aren't that cpu heavy. 25w on games is completely normal.

Will it void my warranty if I repaste the thermal paste. Also what's the idling temp?

[@PioSoesetio308]

Pretty sure not, just don't break it in the process. If you break the heatsink/fan/processor in the process, I don't think that'll be covered by the warranty as it is your own mistake. But if you repaste it properly and maybe a month later your keyboard broke, that's still covered by the warranty.

Or you can give me a sugestion? 🙏 (sorry my english is so bad, i from Indonesia ✌)

[@PioSoesetio308]

The VRM of the CPU doesn't touch the heatpipe, there's no point of putting thermal paste there.

[@PioSoesetio308]

Does it turn off because of high temperatures or what?

[@rafly2595]

No bro, my laptop suddenly turn off if i play hard game. But the problem it's solve now. I ask in a forum in facebook, and someone tell me to put the cmos batery. IDK what the problem, but i just put the cmos batery and my laptop it's totally normal. And then i replace the CMOS batery and the problem was solved 🤣

hey man thanks for the video, but I have a question, you put thermal paste in other parts that are not the GPU and CPU, and I read that there should go thermal pad, do you know the thickness that should be used?

[@PioSoesetio308]

It is recommended to use thermal pads. But thermal paste is also fine, just apply more thermal paste to make sure the VRMs are making contact with the heatsink. One downside to using thermal paste instead of thermal pads is that they need to be replaced more frequently. Around 1mm if I'm not mistaken.

​@@xenonohad I guess you probably have the gtx 1060 version which should have more heatpipes and bigger heatsink. Make sure you've unscrewed all of the screws, cause some are kinda hidden, one of which is below the cables. It should be easy to pull out once it's all unscrewed.

Hi, I saw your post. I don't think that the VRMs is the limiting factor here as my laptop works fine. Plus, I added thermal paste onto the VRMs. Note, for some reason I can't load the picture you sent, but I'm assuming you're pointing to the VRMs / memory module that I repasted in the video.
