Asus G750 Disassembly

How did you take off the screen bezel (cover)? I undid the four screws, yet it won't budge.

 

Try levering from the inside of the bezel where it meets the lcd panel.

 

I finally did it, I've got a god damn bug inside my screen, sadly it's not behind it, it's inside the layers behind the liquid crystal.. which really really sucks.

Anyhow, what did you use for paste? I notice there's a WHOPPING 39 chips in total to paste, 38 of them being the GPU alone.

Would you recommend Arctic MX-4 as it's carbon based and as I understand it, shouldn't corrode the die? ( I am not very sure about pastes, though I hear some are bad on dies, some chew on aluminium and others on copper. )

If there's anything better than Arctic, that's easy to apply, yet lasts for a long time, I'd be excited to hear about it!

Did the 37-38 chips with the Graphics Card that you've pasted in this image below, did they use HEAT PADS or did they use THERMAL GREASE before you replaced them?

What is the plate made of that rests against the die and those chips? Is it aluminium, copper, etc?

MOST IMPORTANTLY!!! ... What screws do the GPU and CPU use? Last time I saw them, they looked like Torx?

And last but not least, which one had the yellow warranty sticker over the screw?

 

I noticed there were 2 Screen connectors, is the connector different for the 120hz panel?

 

I exclusively use IC diamond. Yes the 120hz panel uses a different connector.

 

EDIT: Sorry Meaker, I didn't notice user: Hendricson had posted more images.

Screws are Phillips as hoped, and the Warranty sticker is on the CPU as I thought. And the GPU is copper on the main chip.

Thank you for answering about your paste choice. I'm choosing MX-4 as I want it to last for the 8 years it boasts. ;D

 

Accidental double.

 

IC diamond is more viscous so should last longer. Notebooks get moved around a lot so that becomes important.

 

I've had my GPU repasted all with MX-4, I couldn't get my hands on some IC Diamond so easily.

I'm wondering if you know anything that's better to place on the components around the GPU ( other than the die ) to use?

I've kept being told pads are better, though I don't know how well they'll work. The GPU is pretty horribly bolted down in my opinion.. they should've added another screw on the far side to even down the pressure placed on the components far out to the side. (Where the ROG eye is)

Anyway, what's the best pad / paste combo you can think of, and method of application? I think my MX-4 is drying out quick as I think I've added a little too much. I used a whole tube for the GPU.

 

A whole tube is too much.. You usually need to use 1 small line of it on the core and thermal pads on VRAM... I'd suggest IC Diamond for the paste or GC Extreme...

 

I use paste for the core and finely adjusted pads (to the nearest 0.5mm) to achieve the best results.

 

Hello there Meaker,

I was very interested in your comment about the finely adjusted pads for the Vram. Would you be so kind to tell me where you can order those? cause i want to repaste my gpu as well but didnt do that so far as i was highly concerned using TIM grease wasnt filling any (if there are any, not sure) gaps between the gpu cooler and the card itself.

or would something like this be even better for use on the vram chips? K5-PRO gummy sticky thermal paste grease for thermal pad replacement 5x 20g 100g | eBay

 

I get mine from overclockers and use a variety of thicknesses.

 

Hello guys,

I want to share my experiences by repasting and deep cleaning my Asus ROG G750. Please check my post. Thanks you all for posting, the knowledge you shared made possible to do the procedure myself and the results are incredible.

Here is the link, same forum:

Cheers.

 

Where did you get those little heatsinks? How did you install them? The MB still fits in with them on? Do they help at all?

 

Those little heatsinks are called ramsinks (originally designed to go on BGA ram chips).

They should really only be added if you are going to modify the bottom cover and have a cooling pad below as at stock there is no airflow over those parts. That just adds to the thermal mass of the unit and not how well it cools otherwise.
