Video

As I said in the video, I couldnt tell you, by all means they looked identical. Purchase this cable and it should work fine. amzn.to/4dXS0JP

I lost mine before I figured this out and had to make the video to save someone elses lol.

@@battlepowered the front fans are mounted inside a square metal bracket that slides in and out of the front if you remove screws on either side. As far as not everything being an show, I’m still rocking the Corsair Obsidian 450D case :)

Swap the PSU would be your best bet unless the specific models brand came out with a 5pin version that is compatible with your specific power supply.

​@coryscomputerrepair thankyou!

You are most welcome! Glad it helped!

Glad it help you! :)

When using an Intel processor with an AIO cooler, typically the stock backplate is not used. Instead, it usually comes with its own mounting hardware. However, AMD processors do use the stock backplate included with the motherboard. Therefore, it is assumed that when you switch from an Intel to an AMD motherboard, you will have purchased a new one that comes with the stock backplate thus including one with an AIO is not necessary.

@@coryscomputerrepair Ah okay thanks for the reply. Yes this is my current situation. I bought a Pre built and it had a Thermaltake aio that has failed and the bracket looks like the one in this video. It’s double sided for AMD or Intel use. I upgraded to a NZXT and I’m guessing I can’t use that bracket for the new one?

You aint lying lol. Its why some RAM sites will claim this model isn't upgradable.

Yeah, sorry to hear that, its a high risk for sure.

Sorry about that, I did in another video with the same PC. Here is the solution: GPU & CPU Solution: To optimize the cooling of your CPU and GPU, use the "Dell Alienware Command Center" software. Navigate to FUSION/Temps and avoid using the preconfigured temperature profiles. Instead, create custom profiles. This will require some experimentation to achieve the right balance. It took me some time to configure the fans to increase speed when the CPU temperature reached a certain level and to reduce speed at another. You should set individual fan profiles for the Front, CPU, and Top fans. After configuring the case fans, download "MSI Afterburner". This program will allow you to control the GPU fans more efficiently. Once downloaded, install the program an enable custom fan profiles in the settings. You’ll need to experiment to find the optimal temperatures for the fans to increase speed on the GPU. This program works for setting custom fan profiles even if your GPU isn't MSI-branded.

Most come with specific CPU coolers. Your motherboard is an Intel LGA1700 which then uses an LGA1700 backplate you would cross reference in the instructions of the cooler you buy.

That’s the imprint of the copper heatsink pipe.

@@coryscomputerrepair no, you can see the way air moved and left debris with its flow. You should not change that flow without taking everything into account because it's not only cooling the heatsink per se

@@byAnArgentinian I totally understand what you were saying, but please do not assume I didn’t take everything into account before I made changes. I am totally aware of the effects of a negative air pressure environment versus a positive air pressure environment. I know that the air exhausting out of the case on the right side, looking downward at it from the video that that negative air pressure would then cause positive air to enter the case through the vent holes on the left and across in a pattern as you are saying. The issue is it was not as effective as it should’ve been and the laptop was overheating and thermal throttling as it was reaching 95°C when the customer attempted to do anything productive such as open Google Chrome or open Word. I was also accused of removing rubber glides or plastic glides for the airflow, which I did not do what you see is how it came. I did not remove anything that was part of the laptop. I informed the customer of this design flaw in my opinion and asked if he would like me to still drill holes right above the intake fan and informed him fully of the risk of doing so and how it would break the companies intended airflow design and possibly put a thermal risk on other components because the air would no longer flow from left to right across the components within the case. The customer understood the risk but valued proper cooling to allow him to get his work done over longevity. Everyone in the comments needs to take into account I only have 60 seconds in these shorts to get my point across and hold your attention. I can’t say everything in the video that was done from start to finish nor do I always respond to comments. I disabled them on here for a while because I can’t respond to every single troll that comments and thinks and assumes I didn’t handle things properly and leaves an opinion based on an assumption. By drilling the holes with the customers approval, the fan was able to bring in cool air from outside the case thus cooling down the heatsink which in term cooled the CPU more efficiently and dropped temps under load down to 75c and the customer was extremely happy with the results and at the end of the day, with respect to you and everyone in here, THE CUSTOMER being happy is what matters, not the opinion of others on here.

Those screws are standard phillips head screws, with the exception of the two left and right smaller screws. If you dont have anything to get them off, order a precision screwdriver hit on Amazon for like $20 bucks.

You can run DBAN to write zeroes to the drive to make the data unrecoverable so you don't have to throw the drive away. That would really help the next guy. But then again nobody should be booting from spinning hard drives nowadays anyway and should use ssd/nvme drives

Try turning off Intel Turbo Boost in the BIOS and put voltage back to default then check temps again while gaming.

There is no option of intel turbo boost in bios

Replace the laptop ​@@biswas1479

I bought a laptop brush kit on Amazon combined with dollar store pain brushes and Isopropyl alcohol.

So you just brush them from outside?

@@biswas1479 With the top off in the video like you see then hold the fan with my finger and blow it out with an electric duster I have after loosening the dirt. I have Q-Tips also. Its a process to get it fully clean.

Easy, what you cant see in the video is the stand is hanging off the edge of my workspace. You need to lay the screen facedown and just right before the edge. This makes putting the the stand back on easy. That should do the trick.

For the heavy built up stuff, I have degreasers I had to use. All the parts came out and let the degreaser do its thing for about 20min then sprayed it off. The smaller stuff was Q-Tips with degreaser. It was a lot of time then put everything back together.

These look like they should work for the 15-EB series www.amazon.com/ruichuang-Rubber-Replacement-Spectre-Laptop/dp/B09WQV3LDG

@@coryscomputerrepair Thank you!

The fix in my video has nothing to do with power to the AIO pump. The 5th pin I was referencing is to power the RGB lights ONLY. If your AIO pump stops, you might have a bad AIO. If it was me, I would ensure the pump fan cable is plugged into the "AIO_PUMP" fan header on the motherboard and make sure you set that specific fan header in the BIOS to "PWM" mode to ensure the pump runs at its full RPM for optimal cooling. From there, I would monitor the RPMs in the BIOS and see if you get any drops or the pump completely stops. If it does, replace it.

Thanks for the sub! And you are most welcome! I try to take the time to make videos for stuff I can’t find on CZcams but figure it out. Helps the next person :)

@@coryscomputerrepair ive been looking for a while now and you hit nailed it :)))))

You're forming an assumption based on your own expertise and experiences. Keep in mind that everyone possesses different skill levels. What might seem "not hard" to you could be incredibly challenging for others. Some might not even want to attempt it because they prioritize their time differently. Nonetheless, I appreciate your input.

Not needed, the airflow was already sufficient to keep the CPU and GPU cool under load. This was determined in stress tests I did.

Because at the time, the Lian Li PW168-8PV2 Strimer Plus V2 - Power Extension Cable had not come out yet and we didn't have an option. I will tell the customer about it though now, I agree it would look good.
