Think it only dropped like 2-3°C max on load, and by load I mean hours of Cities Skylines with almost 200k population. Regardless, I had to get a regular cooler (not the slim type) and that helped a further 4°C drop at least in my hot environment (average ambient temperature of 35°C here) and I also occasionally undervolt my CPU if it gets too hot for too long. A 2-hour CS game still goes above 95°C here, and 90°C in air conditioned room. I'm now considering Conductonaut, which lead me to reviews and back to this video!

@@soumyadeepbhunia172 10-13-2019 02:16 AM Hi guys, I ordered a Y540 for my cousin and he was really disappointed, because of the audio issue. I did some investigation and those sneaky lenovo engineers already created a fix, but hid it very good. The problem mainly seems to be, that the CPU voltages ramp up and down very fast for power saving, leading to a crackling noise at every transition. That also explains, why the sound is fine when gaming, as the CPU is always running at full load. The fix Lenovo implemented was simply to make those voltage transitions slower and therfore reduce/remove the crackling sound. Here are the steps I did to fix issue on my cusins Y540: 1. Download an install the latest BIOS from Lenovo's site (BHCN32WW) -> This will take through a reboot and all, just let it sit and don't touch your notebook while updating 2. Shut down your PC 3. Use a small pin (for example a SIM-Card removal tool from your phone) and poke it into the whole between the USB Port and the Power LED in the right of the Notebook 4. The notebook should start and give you a small menu 5. Select "Setup Bios" 6. Select "Configuration" by pressing the right arrow key 7. Select "Slow slew rate for ia domain" (arrow down) and press enter 8. Select "fast/8" and press enter 9. Press the F10 key to reboot When you boot into windows now, the sound should be good. I can't really tell what other implication those settings have (maybe the systems gets unstable, or a little less power efficient), but it worked for us. Greets Berni

You madman, you didn't disconnect the battery.. I've once shorted a laptop's gpu while I was fixing an issue with the heat sink and, guess what, I had to buy a whole new computer for that guy (About a 1199€ loss but at least got some of that money back by selling parts of the "Old" Laptop)... Still great video. Keep them coming!

Think the i5-8300h is notorious for overheating, my younger brother's asus laptop with the same cpu, was hitting 95C+ stock fortnite extra low quality settings, took it to service 3 times with no luck - they replaced the heatsinks and repasted but to no avail. i took it into my own hands and had to undervolt and repaste the cpu and gpu to bring it down to about 85C, kyronaut with intel xtu and no more thermal throttling while gaming. He wasn't able to run fortnite even at HD low settings with a stutter before but now it's smooth with no issues. Although opening another app alongside fortnite still bumps the cpu up to hit 94C again for some reason?

I have a small question which non metal thermal paste you suggest to apply. krayonot, Arctic mx4, Arctic silver, gc extreme or the new available CPU thermal pad made from graphite (I guess).

Btw, this reminds me of my sisters Samsung Laptop (1st Generation i7). The CPU would normally run at 85°C and ~2.0GHz but when i removed the dust and repleced the thermal past (MX2) the temperature dropped to 65°C and the CPU clocked up to 2.8GHz under load :D

@@JarrodsTech How's the fan noise? Y530 seems not to speed up the fans until the CPU get hot. Also, can you do some thermal testing by lifting up the back a bit (or use cooling pad)? FYI I apply a straight line on the CPU (slightly closer to core 0 and 2 due to potential low mounting pressure of the tripod heatsink) and cross on GPU when repasting. Works quite well.

Although this might be specific to this Lenovo model, if I understood correctly there seems to be virtually no difference between the undervolted and the repasted temperatures and performance. It seems like the laptop already reaches most of its full potential with undervolting, and that repasting doesn't really improve that. So undervolting seems like the best procedure that is also the least invasive and won't void your warranty if you buy your laptop from a particularly pesky shop (online or brick+mortar). Plus, even though repasting is a relatively straightforward procedure, not all laptops are easy to open up and there is a chance a user might mess things up.

Yes that's right, in my case I could still achieve full performance just by undervolting, though the paste change further helped lower temperatures.

hey, did you use any specific thermal paste? i have the same laptop

Is 16 GB upgrade really needed if I will be only doing mostly chrome web browsing with lost of tabs open at all times with netflix, youtube, tradingview all running at the same times ? I am currently running 8 GB. I don't game but bought it cuz its over kill for basic task and which means it will last me forever given I never put the CPU and GPU under any maor load gaming ! Any thoughts will be appreciate ! Thanks in advance !

Is kryonaut good for laptops? bc I red that after some time it will not be and you wil be repasting it after like a month and that hydronaut is better for gaming laptops

It's on the to-do list, but so low priority I'll probably never get to it as I get sent too many laptops which I have to prioritize because I only get to borrow them for a couple of weeks before sending back. The Y540 is basically the same as the Y530 in terms of the chassis, so the process would be basically the same.

Thank you sir , this video was really helpful. I have a question, i just want to clean my laptop's fan and air vents as there is a lot of dust stuck in them and my laptop gets extremely hot . Do i need to remove battery before removing fans because in a video i watched , the guy said it is safer to first remove batter and then remove fans

Long term review for Kryonaut on laptops? Has it got the 'pump out effect' after a year or so?

Bro, I have a question, I just got this laptop for a very good offer of lenovo Mexico, the thing is that the only "issue" with the laptop is the HDD, it is a 2TB 5200 which really affect the performance of the core i7 and 16gb of RAM, do you think worth to lose warranty replacing the drive for a SSD or a M.2? because I called them and seems that once the laptop is oppened warranty is not valid :(

Hey jarrod what do you thinks is the best thermal paste for lenovo legion 5i ?

I have a current issue with my legiony530 where I need to replace one of the fans (the big one) but I’m unsure if the big fan is the gpu or the cpu fan , could someone give me a hint? Cheers.

not more not less, but you definitely should've used a spatula spread it out evenly lol. as those are fully exposed die. and should've tried LM and both the idle and on load numbers would've been significantly lower. not as much as TG advertises but still. and that would be a much more interesting thing to see!

Hi Jarrod. I have the exactly same model as you. Y540, i5-8300h, 16Gb, gpu, ssd, and hdd any how my main question. 1) I am strugling with my cpu's thermal. It's alway having one of the either cores hitting 93*C and thermal throttle. Sometimes all 4 at 89*C 2) At battery icon, power option. (idle condition, cpu at 43*C) Best Battery Life > core1-4 at ( range 0.7Ghz - 2.1Ghz ) max 65*C Better Performance > core1-4 at ( range 0.7Ghz - 2.25Ghz) max 65*C here is the problem. if I select Best performance > core 1-4 stays 3.95Ghz all the time (idle and gaming). If I do gaming it easily hit 95*C Is your laptop having the same problem? And its fan is noisy, sound like turbine engine pushing Airbus A330 to take off.

Have you ever used or tested Lenovo IdeaPad 330? Do you, prehaps know how it compares to Lenovo Y530 given both are configured with i5 and GTX 1050. Is there a significant difference in build quality or thermal design that would juistify Legion being more expensive?

I don't really know, I've never had any problems with the Razer machines I've had, but I am a sample size of one and I only use them for a couple of weeks before sending them back and not long term. The software isn't great, just looks outdated, the new version is a bit nicer though. I don't have contact with Microsoft at the moment so I don't have any news or updates with new products.

My Y530 has been a nightmare to be honest. The unit was unused and brand new, and after 26 recharging cycles the battery died. After that, certain demanding games such as Overwatch, Dark Souls 3 and Witcher 3 would shut the laptop off completely without even a BSOD. It was shutting down because the temperatures were rising too high. Undervolting helped somewhat, it prevented Overwatch from a forced shutdown, but not the other games. I repasted it but it didn't change anything. Was fed up with the bs, so I sent it back to Lenovo. Let's see what happens when I get it back.

The bottom of the laptop is also also hot to the touch on ideal. Don't knw what is going on. Should I undervold cpu and gpu ? What could be th reason for a hot cpu and gpu at ideal conditoins ?

I didn't test gaming before or after, probably should have, but I wanted to use the worst case stress test as it applies the same load and can be more easily compared. As I don't have recent data prior to changing the paste I don't think it would help even if I tested that now.

Yeah it seems to vary, when I did it with my Aero 15x I saw no difference, so not sure if the paste they already used was good, or if the metal heatpipes just aren't enough to dissipate the heat. I suspect that's it, as many people who have tried liquid metal didn't see much change either, so probably not an issue with the interface material being the limitation.

@@JarrodsTech I wanna think my fans aren't pushing the required volume of air. The spots on my laptop above the heat fins are very hot. Greater air flow should result in lower fin temperatures. This is very important because the greater the difference between the hottest point and the coldest point in a system determines the rate of heat transfer. So if I can somehow increase my air flow, I'd increase the rate of heat removal from the fins, reduce their temperatures, increase the temperature gap between fins and CPU. This in turn should increase the driving force for the heat transfer from CPU to fins. So odd question; can fans be over locked? 🤣

Hey Jarrod, 3 day's ago i got the thermal paste the same one you are using, cause my temps were always reaching 98 degrees. So i repasted my lenovo legion y530 (specs i5 and gtx 1050ti) and did some undervolting of -0.160 temps were now max 95 degrees celcius, i was curious why the temps were so high maybe the thermal pads were to thick or the thermal paste (grizzly kryonout or how you spell it) was to thin , so i repasted my laptop for the second time, still no luck same temps max 95... Did some research and found a video from bob of all trades ( the Evo laptop review where he propped the laptop) so i decided to do the same, i didn't have a prop so i decided to levitate the laptop, just like it would be on the prop temps were now under 90 degrees using aida 64 stress test... I can't say that i'm happy but at least i can still do some gaming . Planning on buying the propped. Keep in mind that i live in South America, temps here are 30 degrees... So my room temperature is very high. I will do some testing in a ac room. Maybe the prop will help you get better temps.
