I have this laptop but with a 7700HQ processor and it had serious issues with thermals on 2 of the 4 cores after 3 months. I just changed the thermal paste and oh my God temperatures went down by 35 degree under load!
Thanks for the video I just have 2 points to add to the video:
1. If you have a hard drive remove it BEFORE disassembly! There is a cable that runs from the motherboard to it and it's screwed to the bottom lid.
2. The battery DOESN'T work untill you screw the bottom!
I had a panic attack after a very smooth procedure when it did nothing when I tried to test boot it untill I had all the screws in place.
A lot of laptop manufacturers nowadays like to use crappy thermal paste to cut costs. So no surprise there :)

That was painless, thanks for the tutorial helped out my laptop A lot. 😁
How much did thermals improve?
perfect review and teardown ,will get one of these you sold me!!!!!
thank you for taking the time to record the video, very helpful.
Thank you got it four days ago! Only game I've tried so far after repasted. Grim Dawn after and hour. Maxed temps CPU i5 8300h undervolt .125mv 52c and GPU GTX 1050ti 68c all settings maxed 1920x1080 60fps. Used MX-4
What program you use to undervolt? And it doesnt give you any problema the mx 4 I read something a out overclock and conductivity that it can burn your cpu/gpu is it real?
@@masterwolfff use throttlestop,search for a tutorial it is very easy to use
Triple Kill Streak!
not really interested in the laptop itself but I still watched the video.
Very helpful, this is the only teardown of my exact laptop I could find. You earned yourself a sub.
Gabe Springhetti Hope you find it useful :-)
Bob Of All Trades I feel lucky because I'm able to run a -160 mv undervolt stable as can be under gaming loads I've spiked 80c auto on the fans but usually settles in the low 70s. I'm gonna repaste it now since I have something to guide me, the video will be very useful.
Gabe Springhetti Make sure to use a good paste. There’s a reason why I use thermal grizzly Kryonaut :-)
Hey gabe how much temperature drops were you able to achieve with your new thermal paste?!
@@danyboyy9380 After about 200 hours of gaming I found that -160mv undervolt to be slightly unstable. Backed it off to -145mv. I repasted with Arctic silver 5 because I had some laying around. I know, it's not very good. Under gaming loads I'm at about 65-70c sometimes spiking higher for a few seconds. If I'm running my A/C and my house is cool the fans won't even get loud honestly. The gpu temps stayed about the same. Ill run some benchmarks later today and get you more info.
Man your driving out the screws skill are remarkable
Thank you so much for the video! This was exactly what I needed. I just put Kryonaut into my Nitro 5. I'll see how much it helps the temps.
That's what this is here for :) Enjoy!
How much did it help?
@@AN-vs5pb I actually don't remember exactly how much the temps dropped off the top of my head, because I returned the Nitro 5 soon after and got a Dell G3. But I remember it helped reasonably well, I think somewhere in the ballpark of 10°C.
@@nomadben Why did you returned it? xD
@@Domin17maru Cause it only had a 1050 Ti and the G3 had a 1060 for only a small increase in price, so I switched.

@@TheGhjgjgjgjgjg Lmao wtf
This is a very good video, thank you. I just ordered the nitro 5 and will probably do this before I even power it up. I hate to do that but with your video I feel pretty confident.
Boot it up first just to make sure it works correctly. In case it doesn't (unlikely I know) at least you know it wasn't you :)
Here We go Great tear down. Thank you.
It appears that the newer versions of the Nitro 5 (2019 and 2020) does not have the easy access covers for the RAM and memory (it is one whole back cover now). Everybody that is thinking of buying this because of the easy access panels, please take note that Acer has removed this useful feature ☹
it's still easy asf to access
Thank you for the video, just repasted and on idle usually my laptop already at 68 65°c , after that anr a bit of fan cleaning it's 48-54°c
Do you have any advice for me? I was trying to take the last two screws off near the cpu but they both won’t budge I’m not sure what to do because I don’t want to damage them anymore
What did you use to clean the dried up paste on the processor and the GPU? Thanks.
i admire you dude !!!! i am a computer Tech guy and i love to see you teardowns alot
What did you use to clean the CPU and GPU? Did you use isopropyl alcohol or, for example, Arctic Silver's thermal paste removing liquids?
Hi ElonIsMyDad, Sketch here. Isopropyl alcohol will suffice.
Thank you for this amazing video, I just had to know how to properly open mine (AN515-52) and how to properly apply the paste on the mobile variants of the chips. I used Arctic Silver Ceramique 2 and BOY!
My temperatures went from idle (sometimes) to mid use 20 degrees celsius lower! where it normally would sit in between 85-95 range on the CPU and 80 on the GPU under load or midload (yes it spiked that high), I know have a 76C max on the CPU and 72C max on the GPU.
Note: I booted a game up for it and played only 5 minutes, but even before that amount of time would spike both chips high.
Did you put the paste the same way the guy from the video did? I've done it over and over with CoolerMaster thermal paste but temps still terribly high (+90°)
@@esau817 did you undervolt at all? That is 50% of the issue.
broth, answer pleass
yo triple videos in a row
Hi there! What kind of screwdriver do you use for the heatsink? Im having problems with my laptop. Its the same model as yours, but the those screws in the heatsink are so hard to remove, i cant even turn the screws :(
Very neat video! Thank you! I am planning on doing this soon.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
i'm really worried because I was using the wrong screwdriver and I was twisting the screw really rough that caused rounded stripped circle screws. The screw was really tightly sealed so I couldn't unscrew it. I'm not sure what to do now of how to unscrew stripped screws. Is there any other ways I can replace my HDD?
I really like your videos, professionalism, and honesty with your work.
I have built computers, but I really haven't ventured into over/underclocking, thermal tuning, and basically have stuck to manufacture guidelines for everything. If I follow your guide to repaste, should this be done every year or so or is Thermal Grizzly a one-and-done solution?
Hi, Sketch here. Repasting should be done regularly, unfortunately even the best paste dries before long.
Wow, thank you! It reduces my CPU temp from 95-100c to 75c with mx4 thermal paste and -0.125v! My 1060 6gb are even lower!
Marius Rugland No problem! A lot of times that thermal paste will just sit there and dry out for many months before the machine gets used so it’s usually pretty crappy right out of the gate. You made a good choice and it makes one heck of a difference :-)
@@BobOfAllTrades Does this void the warranty? And if I got a cooling pad, would I necessarily need to worry about this? I plan on gaming for long stretches at a time!
Thank this helped me from overheating 90° to 70° , I didn't repaste it I just vacuumed the fans cause they were really dirty but even this helped me to decrease temperature about 20°, Thank Sir
are you still getting those temps?
@@Domin17maru no I am not, I bought a cooling pad and it really helped me now when playing games like witcher3 i am getting maximum 80° without it i had 90°
@@samel9412 gotta try a cooling pad then
@@Domin17maru yes try it mine cooling pad has 4 fans I recommend you something similar
*hey man, thank you for such useful manual*
*would like to ask you, how do you think, is "Coollaboratory Liquid MetalPad" a good option instead of paste?* Thanks!
I have an Acer Nitro 5 7700HQ 8GB GTX 1050TI, and it was getting 93-95c gpu temps and 90+c CPU temps during heavy load (Gaming or Stress Test), both had thermal throttle issues. After CPU -0.130v undervolt with "Intel Extreme Tuning", i got 80-85c on thermal without thermal throttle. And i did a GPU undervolt with "MSI Afterburn" that increased the performance but was unable do decrease any temps. So I did replace the thermal paste on both CPU and GPU with Noctua NT-H1.... The temperatures went down to 75-80c on CPU without undervolt and 75c on GPU without undervolt. With both undervolts, CPU was on 65-70c and GPU 65-73c. Got an adicional 10 fps in games like Apex Legends. In conclusion, looks like Acer is using mud as thermal paste on these laptops. Just replace it, it actually works wonderfully well!
Piece of advice to anyone whos gonna try to open their laptop to repaste it. Make sure you remove the battery connector first before you do something to your laptop to prevent any ESD or Electrostatic Discharge.
Are you using rubbing alcohol to remove the old thermal paste? Also how soon after you repaste can you safely use the laptop?
What was the one corner you were having trouble with when you were taking the backing off and how did you solve it? I’m trying to do the same thing and am having issues removing the corner, but I don’t have the blue key that you have.
very clean and good informative video. Not many of these around :) thanks! I'm considering this laptop with 1050ti and i5 8300H. I just might aswell open it up and do this like you did right of the bat :)
Did you buy the laptop already?
I must say I did, and my temperatures did change. Yes I used another kind of paste, arctic silver ceramique 2, which might not be that heavy. Still I dropped an easy 10C at idle and 20C under load/gaming.
@@MrGtagangster without undervolt?
hey I am thinking about doing a repaste of my nitro 5 and I wanted to know if you should remove ram before the repaste also what kind of screws the laptop has
Thank you very much for this tutorial! You're great :)
I'm wondering what program were you running with your laptop when you got the 70-75C result after repaste?
Because I tried to repaste with kryonaut too after seeing your video because I always get a constant 90-95C whenever I'm playing Monster Hunter World.
But even after I repaste it didn't show any difference and I still get those temps when I play the game.
Baam 25th You’d have to watch the review as I’m sure there were more details that would help you answer that question. It’s been so long since I’ve had this laptop I don’t remember sorry.
I have this laptop, different variant (AN515-52-75RY), but I can't open it up cause there's something holding the backplate and the motherboard together near the battery compartment.
What GPU on your nitro5 ? I have the GTX 1060 with the 8300H cpu... I did arctic MX-4 - I have also upgraded the monitor to a 144hz ips gsync one. Mine had more screws for the GPU inside, and mine was made 23.03.2019 one of the last of the old version Nitro 5's I suppose.
Hello! for some time from moving my laptop Acer Nitro 5 began to produce a strange sound on the left side of it resembles a somewhere short circuit
Hey Bob great video... So I purchased this laptop recently and repasted. UVed and have a cooling pad under it... I'm still seeing spikes up to 97 degrees... Only for a few seconds then back down to 70 ish... Seems to be the Intel Turbo coming on for short periods... Is this normal behaviour do you know? Should I be sending it in for warranty? Thnx for the hell
i've nitro 5 i7 7700hq 1050ti for 3 years now
then i realize idle temp going crazy 65°-75°, play forza horizon 4 my laptop overheat & shutdown
after cleanup my cpu fan from dust, repaste with grizzly, and undervolt -0.125v
now my idle temp is 38°-40°, play forza horizon 4 never touch 80°
thank you sir for this tutorial!
Hi, thank you so much for the helpful video! How thick are the thermal pads?
Do you use cleaners or just dry cloth to wipe the old paste?
Also aside from thermal grizzly, do you recommend any other brands may be I can find cheaper like artice silver 5 or Artic MX4-G
i have the exact model and i have a question does the overheat affect the performance because after a year of no repasting it ( i didnt know that i should ) it starts to heat alot and low specs games now lags and frame drops to 20 fps and such does repasting help the issue ?
Any idea of why no matter how much paste I put on, it ends up spreading to the sides of both CPU and GPU? I mean, all of it goes off of the chips, I've done the re-paste over and over and still same results, please help. Tired of 90 degrees!
Can you help me? My nitro 5 has the hard drive connected to the bottom and the disk cable to the motherboard, how I disconnect it?
wow, I'm amazed. Thank You.
Was this an515-52? Seems to be using a thermal pad rather than thermal putty for vrams
I cant open the ram slot the screw is stuck and dont want to use dw40 because it could touch the components and fuck something up , what should I do
I have to do this... How did you clean the old past? Just using good cleaning paper??
Is this important to do on these Nitro 5's? Also, what was used to clean off the old paste? Thank you
If you are undervolting, it is worth looking into locking the cpu at a lower frequency and it won't heat up as much. I repasted mine, undervolted and lockt it at 3.1 ghz, as a result, when I game it stays around 69°C instead of 95+(it was scorching).
Also if you take it apart, the fans and the heatsink are kind of next to each and that's where the dust and stuff goes.
how did you lock it at 3.1?
Curious what you used to clean the old paste.
Also where did you get your tools for working on the laptop?
isopropyl alcohol and the toolkit is now linked in the description :)
What screwdriver are you using? Mine can't seem to catch on the heat sink screws :/
Thank you!
My nitro 5's been making a lot of noise with one of the fans, the one closer to the centre. Do I have to replace the fan or does it just need to b cleaned?
Thank you for this video🙏
I did the repaste and lowered temps but now i have issues with the gpu, when playing any game i have constant framedrops, what could It be?
Try to update the gpu... My nitro 5 always have framedrops when i havent updated the gpu driver
check also on the NVDIA control panel, make sure the game that you're playing have unlimited fps settings
カルロスPlatinumVs It sounds silly, but check you are not running of integrated graphics both in the Nvidia control panel, and windows graphics settings.
For those looking for Acer Aspire 7, this is the exact same procedure just different looking body.
Still alive and thanks you for give me know :(
I have a Nitro 5 with GTX 1050 Ti, and the GPU is not working... is that integrated on the board?. can I fix/replace anything? or just the board? Can you point me in the right direction to buy what I need?
I had 98 degrees during long GTA V sessions. I repasted with kryonaut thanks to your tutorial and also undervolted my cpu by -0.115 and now I get maximum of 75 degrees during my gameplay. Thanks dude you actually saved my life!
Hey, does undervolting your cpu affect performance?
@@EL1TEOnCZcams no fps drops cuz no more thermal throttling. You have to find the sweet spot and then you'll be fine.
my game stutters a lot, if i get another 8gb ram stick and repaste will the stuttering go away?
@@TheGhostChris not sure for intel, but for amd cpu dual ram helps like 10-25 fps
hi can i ask that how thick of the thermal pad of this laptop using, i should buy around 1mm or 1.5mm, thanks a lot
Hello, may I know what kind of screwdriver you are using to remove the heatsink? I tried it myself with 3 different screwdrivers and it seems the screws are screwed in too tight.
Riyan Veysel I recommend the kit that’s linked in the description I’ve been using it for years as recent as just a few days ago
Hi, I am currently doing a lot of research on laptop repasting, as I have a problem with my VN7-593G (Aspire V Nitro 15). I know, it's a different series, but from what I saw, the heatsink design (fans, screws, material) is similar. So my problem is that I can't get the screws out from the heatsink and the fans on my notebook. I already tried way more force than on the case screws, but I don't want to try too hard and end up stripping the screws. I'm thinking about getting the iFixit essential Toolkit since I believe their screwdrivers and bits are way better than the 20yr old precision screwdrivers I have lying around. So would you recommend getting this toolset and try again? If yes, which exact bit did you use to open the screws? Or would you recommend asking the acer support first?
The toolkit is linked in the description. I can't recommend tearing today's hardware without it, unless you're the type to have tons of tools in your garage. I don't recall there being anything other than a phillips screwdriver.
how often do we need to replace thermal paste?
i hit the light blue one (thats kinda like double tape) with thermal paste,,it is ok?
I've got this same model. I haven't undervolted it, but I did repaste.
Before the repaste the idle temp (around 10% cpu usage) was 45c but it
would get to 95c+ under full load.
After the repaste it idles at
around 45c-47c and only goes up to 74c under full load over extended
periods of time. I'm definitely happy with the temp under load, but
honestly I'm confused as to why idle temp stayed the same.
What kind of idle temps are you getting? Do you think it's okay for the cpu to have such a high idle temp?
The fan curve pays respect to the temps so idle temps likely won't change. It's also why your load temps improved so much assuming you used the max fan speed button. Make sense?
Great video man! But I’m having a problem 2 of the screws won’t come off and they are both on the heat sink, what should I do?
nice video! but I expect too much, I was waiting for the temp result after repaste! ;D
That's in the review. The channel is organized in a specific way. These teardowns are for those who need them as a guide.
Very helpful, thank you
I have a problem with a fan
The CPU fan . Can i replace those separately without taking the cpu and gpu instalation ?
hi Bob do you use any alcohol or paste cleaner on the towel to clean off the paste?
Of course
I found a pink paste on the 4 square near the CPU, i should remove that too?
Is 1 gram suficient to repaste the gpu and cpu thermal paste?
Will changing a gaming laptops thermal pads decrease temps as well or not really?
Why dont they have an option to set the fans at 2100 rpm all the time and when it heats up it ramps up from their . It heats up beacuse the fans are at Zero and they start spining at 40 or 45c
you can actually do that, it has nitrosense and it lets you change how sensitive the fans are, so you can do that for sure
i got 71C max in prime95 with tpcm 780sp and there no pumping out at all after 3 months.
Can I take the hard drive of it and put it in another laptop
Can we upgrade or change the cpu processor based on this nitro5 model?
also any why the screen turns off when you put you phone one the bottom left hand side of the keyboard I have a video on youtube showing what im talking about and I cant get the damn power off usb charging to turn off acer quick access does nothing I checked the bios nothing I tried power management nothing damn you acer
Hello BOAT. I have watched a lot of videos before buying the Acer Nitro 5. And your video made me finally pull the trigger. Do you know if the laptop has a SIM CARD SLOT for LTE purposes? Or is it even capable of carrying LTE data? I would really appreciate your reply.
Anonymous Person No SIM brother, sorry. I do like that feature but it’s not here. More inline with ultrabooks.
Do you just wipe it off with a tissue or did you wet them with alcohol beforehand?
Hey I know it's late asking you for this , but I've seen on online market about Noctua NH-T1 and this.
Thermal conductivity is n/a for noctua but for this paste is around 12.
So I want to ask does higher conductivity is the reason for less temp when you use grizzly or some other reason?
I compared it with noctua because of it's reviews
Rajat Goswami Anything will be better than stock. Just go with something modern. I’m sure that Noctua stuff will be fine 👍

How can a thermal paste change affect temperatures so much? Can't manufacturers apply it the correct way on the factory?
Do you know the thickness of thermocouples?
How often should I change the thermal paste in the laptop ? Nice video btw.
shouldnt matter much, maybe every other year
how to remove stripped screws?
Do you still have the Laptop? if so can you check on the sizes of the thermal pads of the vrms? Thank you! mine came with some pink thermal pad thick paste on the vrms and I need to replace it .

Hi, need one help.
In my Nitro 5, (7700H and 1050ti), CPU reaches 85-90c under load with -100v undervolt (otherwise reaches 95c no thermal throttle though), and there seems to be a lot of fluctuations in the temperature. GPU however is quite stable (65-75 under load) not much fluctuation either. Could it be thermal paste issue?
Would acer service cover this under warranty (don't want to void it yet).
Akshay Jain This is what repasting is for 👍
Was doing this and when I pulled the back cover off I pulled the sata cable pins right out of the connector on the hdd side. Now I have to wait a week for a replacement sata cable. Would be nice to warn people prior to removing the backing about how short this cable is and mention how in your demo you dont have to worry about this earlier. Otherwise, good video and I was able to clean the fans of dust and repaste the gpu and cpu. Once the sata cable comes Ill get to see the difference. Under load I used to run my cpu at 90° and gpu wasnt far behind.
Mine didn’t come with a HDD 👍
Hey man, thanks for the good disassembly guide.
Could you please help with an advice??
So i play cs go and my processor temps reach 100 degrees celsius... i use cooling stand for my machine but it makes no difference... i have read that grizzly conductonaut helps a huge amount, but one should not apply it on aluminum heatsinks. so the question is are heatsinks on this machine copper? if yes then i can apply grizzly conductonaut and it won't damage heatsinks and processor and graphics card chips? thanks for your advice in advance, merry christmas to you and your fam
Looks like copper
what screw driver did you use to take out the screws that held in the copper plates on-top of the gpu and cpu (for the silver screws)
^
did you find out?
IncinerateZ sadly not and fucked up the screws to the point u can take them out so no re-paste for me 😁😭

Cool that’s what I got. Wow upgrade slots for ram!! I hope my old ram from my old pc fits. It’s small like laptop ram!
Note I have a old laptop that’s can’t hold chArge. So I might see if that fits too
I doubt it’ll fit. If it’s at all PC like as in a desktop then it definitely won’t fit and if it’s an old laptop it probably has DDR2 or DDR3
I cant take out the screws for the fans, acer put to much blue thread lock on it and it wont budge ive already started to strip them so i stopped.
do you use any liquid to clean that old thermal paste ?
I didn't think. It was. Going to be this easy.
