So I got bored....

So I was taking my laptop apart for the millionth time, because I was adding a replacement keyboard I bought, but I am also getting a new heatsink that hasn't come yet, so instead of putting it back together and having to take it apart again, I decided to do something else...

Motherboard heatsink side up

Keyboard ontop of motherboard which is ontop of a laptop cooler.  Random panels from the laptop that have soldered in cables for turning the power on. The shell with the battery and charger input and cabel.

You need to clean off your laptops fan

Why a new heatsink? Only reason I can think of is a motherboard upgrade which is what I did with my laptop. (Upgraded to a motherboard with Nvidia graphics.)

 

Also, I would just sort of throw it together somewhat. (Like put the stuff into the case but only a few screws just to hold it together.)

the one I have is like 5 years old and is kinda loud, so I bought a new $20 heatsink. I really only use this laptop for really non intensive games and web browsing.

So fix it.

 

Put oil in the fan if you can, re-apply thermal paste, undervolt CPU, etc. (Things I've done to mine. If it's an Intel CPU try using Throttlestop.)

Where did you get the motherboard from?

I did re apply thermal paste, I just would rather pay $20 for the heatsink than go through the trouble of bios undervolting and messing with the fan :P no need to hate :)
