REPASTE YOUR LIFE - ASUS ROG G750 Thermal Paste and Ventilators deep clean.

Hello gamers!



I am writing to share my experiences when doing a re-paste and deep cleaning of my asus rog. First of all, thanks to all the users like me who posted pictures on how to complete the procedure.

I would like to point out that is a bit risky procedure but if you are calm and research what to do you could do it yourself and the results are simply amazing. (I am not responsible if you destroy your computer!).



IMPORTANT AIDS:



Perhaps one of the most challenging things to do when making your notebook to pieces (literally) is to KEEP TRACK of which screw / where.



- In a paper make a drawing of your computer, label it bottom, front, etc. Then make a sign for each screw and put each screw in the drawing so that you remember which is which and where it goes.



- I use cotton and alcohol to clean the old thermal paste. Use it with care and only on the processor and video card main chip.



- Test you are using the right screwdriver, some components (especially the heatsink) needs force to open, I almost destroyed it.



- I use a not so powerful vacuum cleaner and a cloth to GENTLY remove the accumulated dust.



THE CHALLENGE:

- As mentioned before, KEEP TRACK of what screw where! Remember all the connectors, most important be GENTLE.



- The re-assembly can get quite challenging, but luckily you did a map... Double check all the connectors. The 3D one requires a pull upwards.



HEATSINK:



- When you are finally at the heatsink, remove all the screws for the processor unit. Rub it with cotton and alcohol. Try to use a cotton that doesn't leave fibers. I cleaned with a toothpick some narrow places where the old paste was.



- I made some research and found out the best Thermal Paste was ARTIC SILVER 5.



- Just apply a little, the size of a pea.



- When you injected the paste in the center of the clean component (it shines) remember to close it UNIFORMINGLY. Meaning not too much pressure from one side or another. Follow a CROSS PATTERN and screw progressively.



THE RESULTS:



Simply amazing. It's even better than when it was new. I used to get overheating problems when playing some games like Ghost Recon Phantoms and Starcraft 2. I had to lower the settings in order to avoid overheating, throttling and forced shutdowns...



With the new work the computer is INCREDIBLE COOL, I play the SAME games as before on MAX SETTINGS and the ventilators barely go. They DO SPIN but little, by touching the computer is TOTALLY FRESH in any point - this means the thermal system is working like a charm, it captures the heat and dissipates it to the ventilators. I think it has never been so efficient.



I think than doing a deep fans cleaning and re-paste with high quality thermal paste is the procedure that has produced the best results ever and amazing gains in performance: games in higher settings, no throttling, less heat, less component stress and even more battery.
