Just in time! My Aorus 17 YE5 GPU fan just failed. Good video.

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have questions 😀

You should try phase-change material Honeywell PTM7950. It comes in as a sheet, lasts longer, performs works better than traditional pastes and there is no pump out effect. Instead of thermal pads, I suggest applying Upsiren U6 Pro or UX Pro thermal putty. It is also a good idea to do CPU and dGPU undervolting.

Thank you for the suggestion. I'll look into this, sounds interesting 😀

Nice! I followed this vid to access the fans and I found that the fan blade assembly can be gently pulled free from the motor. I did this and put a tiny bit of grease in the spindle hole. I changed the thermal paste and blew out the dust. Runs much cooler and silent now. Very happy! Just consider that maybe a noisy fan is an easy fix before ordering a replacement.

I didn’t know that was possible. Thanks for sharing!

I have a Gigabyte Aorus 15G KC with an i7 10870H and a RTX 3060. I have planned to replace my cpu fan since it started rattling around 3 weeks ago. Is it necessary to replace the thermal pads as well when removing the heatsink? Or is only repasting my cpu and gpu enough?

[@WhatsMyGear]

I dont know. But I would guess they are fine if you can preserve them and keep them clean throughout the process

Hi there. I got a Gigabyte Aero 15 OLED KC(2021). I want to upgrade my RAM from 16BG to 32GB. Which band of ram would you recommend? Thank you so much!

[@WhatsMyGear]

I like Corssair, something like this but you need to check compatibility with your machine so dont just buy this linked product, im sending it as a concept: www.amazon.com/dp/B08GSTF5NJ/ref=cm_sw_r_as_gl_apa_gl_i_V2028ZXCQJAQ6X15RVTP?linkCode=ml2&tag=whatsmygear08-20 and there are other great brands. I've had good luck with Kingston too.

I have a question the fan and cpu fan connectors do they go in with the end of the connector pin side up or down?

[@WhatsMyGear]

I thought they only fit one way because I thought the connector was a directional fit connector. But I could be misremembering. Your best bet is to take a picture of each connector on your system before disconnecting it. Or watch the video and pause it, maybe zoom in at the moment when I disconnect and reconnect the wires. Hope this helps.

Hi, I was wondering what are the fans that you used in the video? And are they still working after 4 months?

[@WhatsMyGear]

They are still working, and I'm happy with them so far. Links to them should be in the video description.

[@muhammadd9T9]

does this fan fit for gigabyte aorus 17g yc ?

[@WhatsMyGear]

No idea. You would have to research that on the seller's page on Amazon by searching the Questions section or check the fan compatibility section written by the manufacture of the fan. Or take your fan out of your laptop, look at its model number and seaech Google for compatible replacements, and see of this one matches those replacements.

Hi . The most of gigabyte laptops fan gets fail . 😢

[@WhatsMyGear]

I didn't know that. I hope this video helps others.

[@kevinwood8805]

I followed the video and I thought everything went well but after plugging in the battery again the computer won’t stay powered on. Any suggestions?

[@WhatsMyGear]

My guess is either the heat sink / thermal compound is not dissipating heat fast enough resulting in a thermal shutdown to protect the CPU. Or maybe one of the connectors you removed then replaced is not fully connected.
