This is so impressive, I could feel the excitement in your voice. Going to do the same for my overheating dell latitude.

Great work. In 2019 I changed thermal paste and cleaned the fan of my then 8 year old w520. Paste was like dried clay. It was long overdue. It got temps and throttling down a lot. What I remember it had a separate heat pipe for the gpu as well. If people new why their once good laptops feels slower and slower they would get it cleaned and repasted.

Great job man!! i was really glad to see someone do this and recently too!! Inspired me to try the same on my laptop

I would like to point out that the new heat pipe being hotter means its not as effective as the other, because ita not transferring the heat to the fins. Its still seems to be working well, but if it were soldered, it would be as cool as the origin pipe.

Cool video, thnx. Got me thinking about applying something like this to my Lenovo x230 laptops. No clue why they run so hot

I want to give a big shout out, and thank you to you for your help. Our old Lenovo G510 was dead, and although we only wanted this older unit as a backup, following your tutorials: I upgraded the Ram from 6g to 16g, the old slow Seagate HD to the Crucial 480GB SSD, and the I5 processor to the I7 4700MQ, and installed Win10 Pro. I was able to get the dual pipe heatsink off of eBay. My first install had the idle temps at 50c, so I modified the heatsink by clamping down the GPU heat pipe (our G510 doesn’t utilize a GPU cooler) to the CPU pipe area securely with the CPU pipe using thermal paste and thermal glue. PC runs screaming fast with idle temps on all 4 cores below 40C. Total mods cost in 2024 approximately $100 USD.

Awesome work Mezcal. I'm sure that was satisfying. This laptop is a beast and a sleeper.

Nice results. I do think you'd have gained similar results just by swapping out your heatsink to the dGPU heatsink. It may have costed more but would have been less work.

Good work bro.

Imagine having PTM along with this. It would be insane!

Awesome mod , i can't wait to try this on my laptop . Have you try adding liquid metal for additional cooling

Hey, thanks for the nice guide video. Resourceful. To give extra fan speed just download TPFC 0.62 (ThinkPad Fan Controller). I use TPFC on T440P (4700MQ + gt 730m) and now i could manually set fan speed at 4800 rpm, 1000 rpm higher than before. With higher rpm i could do gaming with Turbo Boost ON (at 35 centigrade ambience temp), no throttling whatsoever and max temp was hovering around 87 centigrade. I also changed the old thermalpaste with Kingping KPX. One more thing, i peeled the plastic mesh on the back cover because it disrupts airflow on the cpu fan inlet.

The heatpipe that has the biggest delta temperature (difference) from start to end is the one that transfers more heat.

That helps especially if you use a coolpad fan.

My T440p (i7 4700mq+730m) was throttling quite badly in CSGO with super low settings. I knew this after i installed afterburner to monitor my hardware. GPU and CPU maxed out at 89 centigrade and then followed by immediate throttling. I was thinking gt 730 was too weak to run the games, but hey it turns out temperature problem. Thanks for your ideas to put extra heatpipe or metal on the stock cooler.

Nice mod, found that video trying to find any tips about bending heatpipes. Little tip: solder that is used in heatpipes is low temperature solder, heatpipes themselves can withstand up to 150C heat for 30min without deforming, to solder heatpipes low temperature solder is used, 138C, you have probably went a little bit overboard with heat. Might get little bit better results filing that edge or just removing paint. Also might try straighten/bend pipe to contact more of a heatsink, but these are just nuances, I'd assume you'd had tad better results doing so. Next level would be soldering second pipe using paste and heating it up, oven would be best for temperature control, but overall skill required spikes quite a lot, compared to final result.And easy upgrade is using liquid metal between CPU and copper, but it have little flaw: liquid metal reacts with copper, very slowly. After a year or so replacement of liquid metal might be necessary, to completely stabilize liquid metal/copper plate it requires to repeat process about 2 times, so it's not maintenance free.

@@diyroby732 it was rather bad bending made by him, collapsed heatpipe in many places, reducing overall conductivity. Flat heatpipes might be hard to bend in one direction causing chamber collapse, that is why there should be some minimal bending angle stencil or something. Side note, radiator he used was completely inadequate for passive cooling, passive radiators are much bigger and spacing between find is ~5mm minimum. I plan to get all my gear from AliExpress, low temperature thermal paste, very long flattened heatpipes, radiators might buy locally. It's gonna be passively cooled desktop, top spec, calculating for 300w heat dissipation.

One came on the market after I did this mod but I noticed just before I bought it that the fan connector was going to block the heatpipe to the dgpu. Huge bummer, as I wanted to get it and test the performance difference :(

If anyone wants to copy this, the way the factory solders the heat pipe onto the heatsink is using low temperature Sn42Bi58 solder. So best results will be obtained if you attach the heat pipe with the same kind of solder instead of glue.

Its not only that. Also change the thermal paste on your chips and make sure your thermal pads are still good and not falling apart. All of these things makes sure your laptop is kept cooled.

well done dude

Very cool, i want to know what glue you are using? Thanks

frickin awesome!

Good stuff

Thanks you

I didn't have a heat pipe but I istalled a slim GPU heatsink ditectly on top of my cpu on my Asus BBK4. The temp never exceeded 40°C 🙃

I felt bad for this guy.. He is not entirely right nor entirely wrong. Mostly comment read about thermal paste but non mentioned about principle of heat transfer. what he do is possible, however there is a several limitations related to thermal conductivity. First lemme mentioned what he is wrong. what he use is a thermal glue, it is mostly used to secure an electronic component to heatsink while able to perform a good heat transfer. Soldering the two components is the best way to achieve high heat transfer rate, then followed by thermal paste, thermal pad, thermal glue and last thermal tape. 2nd, He didn't remove coating or oxide layer before glue it as this layer act as an heat insulation. 3rd, the oem heatpipe surface temperature is lower because it was able to remove heat better than those glued heatpipe thus related with my 1st and 2nd point. I did it too, but my 2nd pipe is glued on my fan metal casing. I need to add fin in the future to improve it and next increase airflow. I didn't gain temperature drop much only 1 degree in cpu stress, however, the temperature graph now different as it took more time to reach 80 degree compared before mod. also there is a significant temperature drop for daily normal usage for works. before mod between 70-80 degree. after mod between 50-60 degree. the limitations can be due to a few reasons, the thermal conductivity of his thermal paste between cpu and heat spreader, better use the best one. 2nd, the contact surface area of heatpipe with heatspreader and heatpipe with heatsink fin. 3rd, the limit on the fin surface area contact with air and with heatpipe. 4th, the airflow able to be provided by fan. 5th, the air temperature. I'm might not entirely right either but there you go, Im sharing my own experience.

@diyroby732

4 жыл бұрын

Thanks for sharing your experience. Let me respond to your points but first mention that this modification has solved my throttling problelms and I can now run the cpu at speeds I could only dream of before. Almost like this huge problem never existed. 1. I applied a layer of thermal PASTE under the second heatpipe before using thermal GLUE to hold it down. Look again closely at the tube I used. This paste has over 4 times the conductivity of the glue even though, the glue alone is still a good cunductor. 2. Coating was not stripped off but we cant call it a total insulation layer because it you touch it you can feel the heat. 3. Maybe, you may be right. What you didn't mention is the almost perfect cantact of both pipes side by side. It's a thermal paste sandwich and the 2nd heatpipe sucks heat from the first. You are not getting significant heat reduction with your mod because the fan metal casing is slower than the fins at dissipating the heat compared to the radiator fins. Take care

Assuming the manufacturer's original design (while not optimal) was close to adequate for normal use, then only a few extra watts of power are in need of dissipation which seemed quite achievable with this gentleman's approach. Sure it wasn't ideal, but it didn't need to be.

I would rather use some low melting point paste for that , and used some sandpaper to remove that insulating black painting, that would have been more efficient and durable

my concern is the battery you should remove it first before operating with your board..
