Crazy Idea need help.

Ok I know you guys are going to torch me like a nuclear explosion, but I need your thoughts good bad or crazy. I have a Razer Blade  advanced 2020 with a rtx 2060. My son left it powerd on sitting on his bed, the battery swol up like a over filled waterbed. I got that fixed by razer. ( Worst coustomer service experience ever) every since I got it back it runs incredibly hot. Like 80c at idle. I re-applied thermal paste twice and it has done no good at all. I really don't want to under clock it.

 

So I was thinking of turning it into a non moving machine and adding a water block or two to the vaper chamber. I know it defeats the purpose of a laptop but I own it now so what's next. I did a proof of concept and just sat the laptop on a heat sink from a Ryzen CPU and it did draw a significant amount of heat away from the vapor chamber the CPU and GPU dropped by 20c. 

 

Shoule I do a custom water block and use the holes on the vapor chamber to attach it or just use thermal adhesive and a off the shelf block or even test it out with a AIO first. I think this would make a killer video for Linus and company to tackle. Let me know what you think.

It sucks the laptop is running so hot, 

 

LTT and Gamers Nexus kinda did a video like that but they overclocked the laptop or tried to.

 

If you have an AIO free i would try that first to see if thats able to do anything in bring the temp down if that works you could then try the custom route.

 

Just a personal thing i understand why you might use thermal adhesive but if you do and run into any problems it could be hard to remove the cooler from the CPU/GPU i would use paste if you could.

I'm worried that pads won't pass enough heat. Using past and a stock Ryzen heatsink it drops the temps 20c.

i wouldn't use pads unless you wanted to cool memory other low heat parts, paste should b good just dont use cheaper stuff or anything that's conductive.

 

if you get small heat sinks like what people use on SOCs like raspberry pi's you can get more heat out of those parts to help.

I was planning on attaching waterblocks to the vapor chamber one over GPU and one over CPU. Leaving stock cooling on just adding some extra umph. Cutting hole in the bottom lid and epoxing a acrilic cover over the water blocks

Found this post and this just might work.
