My heatsink screws near RAM are so tight I think it's overtight, is it safe to use wd40?

[@aryaanyy6494]

How do I replace the fans?

[@JohnSep666]

Thank you for the video. Why didn't change the paste of the six squares with pink dry paste?

[@koolingmonster]

Hi, we are glad to know that the tutorial is helpful to you! The small chips near the CPU and GPU do not generate much heat, so thermal putty/thermal pads (the pink ones) with inferior heat transferability are used on them. If these putty have dried out, it is recommended to replace them with the thermal paste. If not, we can keep them on the heatsink/motherboard. When this particular laptop was disassembled, these thermal putty had not degraded so we did not replace it. Since these chips do not generate much heat, the overall impact will not be very different. However, if you want to replace them with thermal paste, we recommend choosing the 2.1ml KOLD-01 thermal paste and the individual set (20 packs) of KLEAN-01 thermal paste cleaning wipes to ensure that you have enough paste and wipes.

@JohnSep666 Under no circumstances do not replace the pink thermal putty with paste. You can replace but with, for example Upsiren UX Pro, EVGA putty, Laird 607, K5 Pro, which are designed for this purpose.

[@koolingmonster]

@@goorthiss Thank you for your reply! It is very okay to replace thermal pad and thermal putty with thermal paste. While it is perfectly fine to keep using thermal pads or thermal putties, thermal paste is better at dissipating heat. Thermal putties/pads are used in laptops because they are cheaper, and they can fill in gaps between chips and heatsink that normal watery thermal paste cannot. More premium thermal paste such as Kooling Monster's KOLD-01 has special focus on fluid mechanics, therefore is not watery like cheap thermal pastes and can substitute the thermal putties/pads.

had my laptop since 2020 December, recently started giving me major fps drops, freezes could it be the fans and thermal paste ?

[@koolingmonster]

Maybe now is a great time to change your thermal paste! Try to follow our tutorial and do it your self! You can get our products using the links in the description. However we do not recommend changing thermal paste solely based on how old the laptop is. What you use the laptop for and the thermal paste it came with can also affect this decision. The better way is to check CPU or GPU temperatures. You can check out these two videos to help you make up your mind! How often should we change the thermal paste on the CPU?: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hH-Qhp53q6mkbbc How to monitor and record CPU and GPU temperature while gaming?: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m6bLoKuwl7CfbK8

@@koolingmonster yes I just fixed it, replaced thermal paste, and cleaned the tans run amazing now like when I first got it!

[@koolingmonster]

Wow that’s amazing! We’re really happy that our videos and products have helped you!

[@can3555.]

how can I get it from the Jul thermal pads on the device

[@koolingmonster]

Hi, do you mean how to apply thermal pads to CPU/GPU? Normally, we’d recommend thermal paste to be used on CPU/GPU applications instead of thermal pads. That's because CPU/GPU produce a lot of heat under heavy load, and thermal paste’s heat transferability is much better.

[@squ1r7y]

That didnt look so hard. Just picked up a laptop that hitting very high temps 190-200 f° under moderate use. I think repasting should do the trick

[@koolingmonster]

We are glad to know that our tutorial or products can be of help! Wish you good luck!

[@haziq0007]

some guide only clean the shiny part of CPU and not the paste excess around it, to avoid damaging the small capacitor. Is it safe if I also follow your method using the alcohol cloth cleaning the whole thing? *edit My Nitro 5 model: AN515-54-5692 GTX1650

[@user-kk4mt4ik9t]

the excess past is for the vrams if you dont add more after cleaning it youll have crash issues, you can use k5 pro to replace it

[@koolingmonster]

Hello, if it's wet thermal paste, you can wipe it off with wet wipes, alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, etc. However, for dried and hardened thermal paste, often regular methods won't work. In such cases, you can use our specialized KLEAN-01 thermal paste cleaning wipes, which have been tested to perfectly clean over 25 different types of completely dried and hardened thermal paste.

[@user-kk4mt4ik9t]

also it is a very good idea to re do the thermal paste as when i opened up mine for the first time since it was purchased more or less. there was little to no thermal paste left on either the cpu or gpu. i re applied and temps are back down to mid 70s low 80s during gaming

[@sledziu89]

Cleaning a Fans and Radiator it's not a option. It has to been made because this Radiators are totally clogged from the fan side!!!!!!

[@sledziu89]

And you have to put them apart this blowing with compressed air will give you nothing

[@koolingmonster]

Thank you for the comment, we will improve our content in the future!

[@uaigneach34]

Opening the fans shouldnt be optional... you need to take it apart and 99% of people will have it blocked with dust Compressed air is not good enough

[@koolingmonster]

Thank you for your suggestion. We will continue to improve.

[@adamteler]

isnt that acer nitro 5

[@koolingmonster]

Thank you for the reply! We've changed the title!

[@grimfandangox]

Never do as he does in the video. Always replace the thermogel (the pink one) with a new one, e.g. K5 pro
