Laptop thermal paste

[longislandman99]

Has anyone replaced the thermal paste on the dell 5577 laptop? If so is there a guide to open it ?

Do you have the 15 inch gaming laptop? That is the manual to it.

There are several youtube videos of people doing it.

Deja vu (insert weird punctuation and pronunciation)

Not on this laptop, but make sure you use liquid metal, or a thermal compound that performs well on direct die applications or you will be doing it again in a few months after it "pumps out".

 

I really don't feel like arguing with anyone, so I will avoid recommendations, but If you want to research on your own any compound that performs well for delidding, will perform about the same in a laptop.

Use thermal grizzly kryonaut for the best non conductive thermal paste, it should tame temps easily, also try undervolting your cpu and gpu for even lower temps.

Would a re-paste void your warranty you think?

My recommendation is to steer clear of anything related to Arctic Silver 5. It was considered good back when it released, but it's literally the worst you can buy now. It has a 200 hour cure time and no one cares to sit and wait for temps to improve. 200 hours is like... somewhere around the area of 12 days.

 

Also, GC Xtreme is better and cheaper too. Plus you get more on a per-dollar basis.

Depends if there is a warranty void sticker.

 

However, in most cases, any damage caused by an improper application will not be covered since the standard warranty only really covers defects from the factory or damage caused by manufacturing.

 

Damaged cause by the user is usually not covered unless coverage against accidental damage is added.
