CPU repaste Alienware 17

I decided to repaste the thermal CPU of my alienware 17.
I didn't find a video tutorial from someone who already did it, I make one for people who are curious about
Temp are a little bit better ( at the end of the video a table) i used intelburn test to push up the temp of the CPU.

Alienware 17 CPU repaste IC diamond 7 - YouTube

Next one, it will be for GPU and CPU with Coollaboratory Liquid Ultra, soon

 

thanks for sharing it with us, will keep it for future reference.

 

Do you think is it worth to repaste the CPU with Diamond 24 ? my CPU temp is much higher then GPU (4700M with 765M GTX)

 

it's the same, the volume change: small is 7 and larger tube has 24
I have also the 4700MQ, with IC, my current temp ( 6h laptop open no gaming ) is 44-48°c, Min 43°c, Max 53°c Average is 47°C==> HWinfo64
For my side, it worth to repaste if you listen to much a noisy fan or if you enjoy to do it

 

thanks i think I am going to do it

 

You sure you wanna go that way?


Read what's in red for the aluminium.
Also remember the components around the die if you use just a tad to much. If the stuff hits other components its dead.

 

if i used the CLU permanently, i think it will not be a problem. Or using a Blowtorch to unmount it

 

OK. Just remember the CLU is highly electrically conductive and next to the die, it is components that don't like being shortcut

Also if you get it on your alu, it eats it up.

Wasn't as worried about dismantling it since doing this successfully is for good as long as you don't do CPU upgrades.
Getting this done would even make it better than my heatspring.
On the other hand, on your GPU you also need the cooling pads. They might need a change at a point to cool your memory etc. and might force you to kill the GPU to remove it from heatsink.

 

Didnt know that with alu^^ i think next time i 'll remove the CPU, it will be for an upgrade^^ so i ll have no worries to remove it by killing it.
And yes, i think you right for gpu it will be a bad idea as heatsink should be removed first, i 'll stay on IC7 for gpu so

 

I just my beast today, gonna check temps tonight while running benchmarks and will def re-paste if running too hot. Thanks for the vid bro!

 

next time make a video before and after repasting for temps comparison. I check the video, verry good. 10x

 

Yes, its at the end of the videothe comparaison but here a quick look after putting a copper^^:

Here CPU temp with original thermal paste:


CPU temp With IC7

CPU temp with a copper




The result as you see is really good So it worth repasting it and to fix a copper if you have the occasion too
