Welcome to HowFixit! In this video, I'll take you through a step-by-step guide on how to disassemble Asus ROG Zephyrus G15 GA502, GU502 laptop, clean its fans, and replace the thermal paste. Our comprehensive tutorial will equip you with the knowledge of fixing laptop overheating issues. From disassembling your laptop to cleaning the fan and heatsink from dust and applying thermal paste, we've got you covered. Say goodbye to overheating and hello to improved performance!
* Laptop Disassembly Guide:
Disassembling your laptop may seem daunting, but I'll break it down into easy-to-follow steps. You'll learn how to remove the laptop's casing, locate and clean the heatsink and fans, and access to CPU for thermal paste replacement. By following this guide, you'll gain a deeper understanding of your laptop's internals and how to keep it running smoothly.
* Fan Cleaning Techniques:
Dust and debris can accumulate in your laptop's fans and heatsink over time, leading to reduced airflow and increased temperatures. I'll show you effective methods to clean your laptop using an antistatic brush and proper handling techniques. By keeping your cooling system clean, you'll prevent overheating and extend the lifespan of your laptop.
* Thermal Paste Replacement:
Thermal paste plays a crucial role in transferring heat from the laptop's CPU and GPU to the heatsink. However, over time, a thermal paste can dry out and lose its effectiveness. I'll guide you through the process of removing the old thermal paste and applying a fresh, high-quality one. This step is vital for optimal heat dissipation and temperature management. Don't let an overheating laptop slow you down! Watch this comprehensive guide and take control of your laptop's temperature. By performing regular fan cleaning and thermal paste replacement, you'll ensure smooth operation, prevent hardware damage, and extend the life of your laptop.

Can you link the fan replacement?
ended up doing this myself went from 105 on cpu and 95 on gpu down to 75 cpu and 60 on gpu thank you for this video
I have this laptop and after cleaning the fans, it runs sooooo much better. My Cyberpunk 2077 would run at 45 FPS on Medium Graphics before cleaning the fans. Now it runs at 60 FPS on Ultra Graphics and 25-30 FPS with Ray Tracing turned fully on and set to Ultra. I also tested Doom 2016 and it runs at the highest possible Graphics at 144+ FPS, the screen is only 144hz so it can't go above 144FPS. I bought it used and never thought to clean the fans but I am so glad that I did
Do you have the 2060 version or the 1660ti version?
Few corrections here... cleaning the dust out of the fans with a brush over top of the board is never a good idea especially because the heatsink compound on the video ram and vrms was not replaced (if you are having heat issues it is always best to replace all of the thermal paste). Only one fan was separated from the heatsink to clean the congestion point between the fan and the heatsink but it would be a much better idea to remove both fans and make sure all heatsinks are completely clear of dust and debris
nice fix bro, thx
Nice video, you should try to apply thermal grease to the vrms chips as well or use thermal pads without the mess to help keep them cool next time you repaste.
Just did it on my Zephyrus Thin S GX502 and man was it a pain in the ass to do. I build gaming desktops all the time but never expected a single laptop to take SO much time just to remove a heatsink. 25 different cables left and right, above and under.
Try on dell 7567.. i have change thermal paste & pad open it x7 time already... Since 2017. that laptop was more complicated than this.
Все сделал прям по инструкции, спасибо за полный проецсс без склеек. Если бы не показали в видео как поднимается левая верхняя металлическая фигня, то я бы точно не стал бы ее понимать, он прям тяжко шла :)
До этого ноут грелся до 99 градусов под нагрузкой (там батлфрон 2 на ультрах или апекс) и видимо тротлил, сейчас вроде ему полегче стало, но все равно до 80-90 под нагрузкой. Зато быстрее остывает. А паста которая была с завода уже реально в пыль превратилась 🤯
Thank you. You've helped me a lot.
Thank you so much for this video!!! It was so helpful!!!
can you do a video on how to replace the fans?
This guy straight-up man handled the computer parts like nothing.
Thank you for the vid! My fan started making a weird noise and because of you I was able to fix the problem even with zero experience fixing computers ❤
Do you have this exact laptop? Mine is making a noise too, you didnt need to replace fans?
@@eduardocrysteko4846ost likely your Gpu fan is dying. Better replace both use High quality ones
what exactly did you do? just tighten the screws? or clean them out. I have an issue with mine vibrating the whole computer
Muchas gracias, me fue muy útil este tutorial.
This is oddly satisfying
Good video, but I need only a clean heatsink and no replace the thermal paste. Is possible to remove only fans? Thanks.
Yes you can unscrw that stick with fan smallest screw then you can clean fan
HELP ME! I ordered liquid metal am I GOOD? What about thermal pads do I need to replace it too?
Which thick of thermal pad I have to use? 0.5mm or 1mm? Thanks
Hello friend, I have a question, can the blade be removed from those fans?
What is the name of that black tape used on this laptop. I have the exact model and I want to replace some of this black tape thing.
What are the Black and white wires on left side? Thanks.
So I managed to apply the thermal paste but the fan connectors feel loose. The computer starts but the fans won't turn on. I'm not sure why.
When putting the cover back on, the first screw in the lower right corner doesn't want to go in. It has a weird washer glued onto it and cant be screwed in. Any tips on how to deal with it? Because here it looks like nothing out of ordinary is happening.
Thqnks.
If you still need help that screw isn't supposed to go in, when you "loosen it" or tighten it or whatever, it's mean to lift that corner in order to make it easier to get your pry tool in there to separate the bottom plate.
You don't need that screw. It's fine of one isn not put in. I have this laptop and I bought it used and it was already missing 2 or more screws and it's perfectly fine
Can someone tell me where to find the sleeve the ssd is in. I want a replacement to add for the second ssd im putting in.
I have the GA503qr is it the same process ??
Make a video for the 2021 zen book duo 14
I to like to to sweep the dust directly back onto the mb.
how can i replace that black tape wich keep steady fans and heatsink? But also wifi cables etc.
Thanks..
Use electric tape
@@jtperez657 i don't think it's exactly the better solution...
Rattle fans are the only issue ive had sith this model. Love it, just a little replacement ag some point
Guys, this is a very urgent question. what is the name of the yellow plastic that is on top of the gpu and the processor?
I need to only replace the fans. How do I do that?
(4:42) So there are 2 VRAM sockets not populated with 1GB chips. Maybe some of these boards came with 8GB GPUs at one point, we can see that they even covered those blank slots with the stock cooler!! I wonder if there are some resistors that have to be re-positioned so that those chips could be seen by the mobo. I wonder if changes could be made to the motherboard BIOS with AMI flash tools? Or if the actual VBIOS has to be changed, I mean technically the VRAM is soldered to the mobo. I've also read that the RTX 2000 series can technically interface with 2GB chips and some people have replaced those 1GB smaller ones as an upgrade.
Is this similar to ga503?
Меня очень сильно удивляют такие видео/инструкции. Несколько вопросов... Жидкие термопрокладки на чипах видеопамяти менять не нужно? MX-4 Для этого ноутбука подходит? Советую задуматься над этими вопросами.
what size thermal pad?
Anyone know if these model laptops will work with the Adapter plugged in and battery removed ? We have one and it boots and loads up , stays on few seconds and then dies. It did they a few times and then won’t boot at all. We then bought a new battery and replaced it but it’s doing the same thing. The adaptor has the right voltage coming from it and at this point im at a loss of what the issue would be . There is no charge light indicator lighting up other then when it booted up those few times.
sounds like the motherboard is fried
Sadly, Tonight my laptop Asus ROG Zephyrus G15 GA502IV's GPU fan stopped spinning, I have no clue what the problem is,
hi, my laptop fan is not rotating properly not due to dust, What type of fan should I buy
Wdym it’s not rotating properly
@@muzaffarhassan2787 The cat jumped over it, I have fixed it now.
The wifi antennas doesn't snap back very well and now it's not connecting to wifi smh. Anybody has a fix or tips?
Mines a lost cause. I couldn't get the screws out by the chips and they stripped 😢
I have the m15 all I am gonna say is everyone who are owners of the m or g 15 Asus computer laptops need to clean the fans ever 3 months to 5 months because the fans get dust on them and the computer can’t breathe so then starts over heating take the back panel off and then take a brush and a vacuum to suck the dust and trust me your performance will be so good after
Will spraying compressed can air help?
Isn’t vacuuming bad for your computer cause it has a static electric charge? And can mess internals up?
I have this one and it over heats soooo bad, It runs games normally but ever 60 seconds it will go down to 5-10 FPS for like a minute and then goes back to normal. It does this because it is over heating, also ive even had it just turn off on me when playing games because it got sooooo hot. If you touch above the keyboard, that part os so hot that it literally hurns your hand, I'm kind of scared that it is going to just expload and start a fire. Also I bought it used almost a year ago and when I got it, the battery life was soooo bad, it stays on for 5 minutes without having anything open. If I open something, it turns off in 1 minute. Should I get a new battery? Also do all gaming laptops get extreamly hot where it is uncomfortable to touch and do all of them need to have dust removed every 3-5 months? If they do not, then I'm for sure going to sell it and buy a different one that doesn't over heat and need constant maintenance
@@DARK_AMBIGUOUS I’m no expert. I’m in the same boat as you. My fps also drops to 10 fps every couple minutes.
But I have heard that laptops in general are very loud and can overheat easily. Mostly cause it’s a lot of power in a compact space.
Now here’s my question do you know what the where the vrms is located and the video thing as well on this laptop?
I know where the cpu and gpu is but I’m new to this tech stuff
@@EdgarMendezz It will hurt your performance by a bit, but in games that you can manage, use a tool like "Throttlestop" to just completely disable turbo from your CPU. This will pretty much guarantee that you will not thermal throttle down to 10fps but will hurt your performance. Alternatively get a fan(needs to be pretty good) and prop your laptop up with a book or something. Have the fan blow air from the side of the laptop to move tons of air underneath it. This will solve a lot of your thermal issues.
What do you do if you accidentally strip some of the screws?
Gg
I recently purchased an open box ASUS ROG Zephy 16.5" from Best Buy with 16GB and this thing is truly overheating, crashing and rebooting for some unexplained reason! I've gone into the System Events and see a lot of error, critical error, and warning codes. I'm not happy and am waiting for a call back from Best Buy. I've only had the laptop for 20 days.
It has to do with the fancontrol. turbo mode is for gaming, windows mode is for typical windows. it connects to the voltage of the powersupply. You have to make sure it has airflow.
excuse me, what size of thermal pad should I put in the vram ? 0.5mm or 1.0mm ? mine is ROG Zephyrus G15 GA502 GA502IU, thank u
I'm looking for the same, do you remember the sice? I tried with 1mm and the computer do not work properly due to the temperatures (I think that it is very thick).
Thanks
@Estimp did you find a size that worked
its legit impossible for me to reconnect the black and white wires at 8:34? can i get away with just not having it connected? they werent even connected in the first place when i opened up my laptop
Interesting.
Like how there is 3.4k views and 5 comments lol
How can there be any thumbs down..
I have the ASUS ROG Zephyrus G15 GA502IU-AL011T, in the BIOS there are no options to undervolt or to overclock, like at all. Do I miss something? Where can I download unlocked BIOS for the laptop?
You could use ryzen controller, you can't undervolt the cpu but it lets you change the TDP and other settings. I lowered my temps by 10c using this method
@@chilaka91 Thanks man I will look it up. It's a shame that Asus is locking the BIOS with OC and UV options in SOME laptops. I've got the laptop last week, so in theory I could still return it and buy something better like Legion 5 Pro. I've paid for the ASUS(like new) about 810 € + 85 € extra RAM(it has now 24). For that money I think it is good laptop but I want someting that will last a bit longer. Mhh, I will think about it.
@@xibeon mine has ran for 2 years now i need to change the fans so it does last. just duno where to get the fans from.
need to downgrade the bios to unlock this

what to do if the screws dont come off....i got c**p quality screwsn, the heads don't turn
can someone help me where is the microphone?
mine are only working on slow mode do i need to replace them?
plug it in
Is it normal to have small sparks coming out when connecting the battery to the motherboard? This is completely new to me and I would think that it isn’t normal
you still alive?
@@Jondiie nope but laptop works fine now
Jesus. Did you discharge capacitors ? *power button a few times and hold after disconnecting battery?
6:30 shoutout to the idiotic asus engineer who decided to put that fan connector below the heatsink. Spent a good 10 minutes trying to connect this thing.
My right cooler does a strange noise even id the rpm are the same as the right one. The right does almost no noise as usually. I have cleaned them with a brush with no result :( any ideas?
Did ya figure it out? Sounds like ya need to replace that fan. My friend has this laptop and I’m replacing the fan for him this weekend.
Try to lubricate the bearing and if the fan still buzzing you need to replace fan
Damn !! I have the same issue and I thought I've ruined it by gaming too much...
It improved since then, but still noisy, I am used to headphones to avoid that noise
I cant get the battery back in
Приветствую!
Подскажите пожалуйста в чем может быть проблема
При звонке с iPhone XS у собеседника сильный шум при котором меня совсем не слышно иногда помогает постукивание по камере где микрофон шумоподавления после чего становиться сразу слышно четко и хорошо (не всегда помогает)
Отключение шумоподавления на 100% не помогает так же иногда есть шумы сильные
LTE включал выключал тоже самое раз на раз шумы
Может ли быть проблема в микрофоне на задней панели возле камеры?
При том что при звонке с Whats app или любой другой интернет связи
Шумов нет в100% случаях
А так же при записи видео все отлично!
В чем может быть проблема
3:25 This screw wasnt unscrewing so i couldnt clean my fans.
10/10 would not watch this guide again cuz i cant disassemble shit
Same, did you eventually get it unscrewed?
@@yunggarbo8423 nope, asked a professional to do it. apparently he used an electrical screwdriver cuz half of the screws cant be screwed back
can somebody please tell me which type of fans i’d need to buy to replace them? my cpu heated up to 73°c while the fan was only running at 774rpm… i think i have a fan failure
(editing to mention that i wasn’t even gaming when that happened, i was only in BIOS… started at 40°c and heated up to 73°c within about 7 minutes)
That's totally normal temp for a laptop. At any rate , take the fan out and search and part number.
@@mdmcd6273 it’s a normal temp if my fans were running at about 2000-3000rpm, but it didn’t exceed 774rpm so it was basically melting itself
@leahvigs I may be misunderstanding here and of course no idea of your fan curve - but to my understanding those temperatures are fine, stable and FAR within spec for a laptop.
If the fans didn't work that's one thing, but maybe they were not at 2/3000 rpm, because you were running so cool already (73 C).
If it was melting and or in need of the a higher rpm from fans... don't you think the temperatures would have been climbing steadily? Again- don't know the issue or your scenario. Just that if I could get my CPU or GPU to 73 C I wouldn't care what the fans were at.
Either way, best best is to take a fan out and get a part number / start your search from there. Good luck.
@@mdmcd6273 it started at 40°c when i booted up my laptop, when i went into BIOS it steadily climbed up to 73°c but the fan speed started at 774rpm (when at 40°) and didn’t budge from there. my laptop is used to being 73°+ but usually the fans run much faster when at that temp, i noticed because it got suuuper hot to the touch and normally it’s just warm. it also makes a loud strange noise which i assume is coming from the fan? i brought it to geek squad and they cleaned it out but couldn’t access anything under the heat sink and mentioned it could be the CPU dying. however the laptop itself (5yrs) runs beautifully besides overheating so i feel like it’s either a broken fan, loose bearing, not enough lubricant, or something to that degree. i could absolutely be wrong though, normally i wouldn’t care about the 73° as that’s normal like you said but it seems unable to cool itself down at all now
i’m definitely going to try replacing the fan and see if that fixes it but i haven’t gotten around to it yet as moneys tight lol. thank you for replying and giving some insight!!
Which side is the GPU fan and which side is the CPU fan?
I have GU502.. GPU is right, CPU left
@@thetriplethree_ is it from the display point of view (gpu on right and cpu on left)???
@@TheChosenOne607 its from your own POV looking at the monitor. GPU is on your right, CPU on your left
I did this but now my pc dont start 😂 what did i do wrong ? 😅
Bro mine straight up didnt have thermal paste
i dont understand what about thermal pad or thermal paste on vram ... doesn't it need to be replacement... but if does .. can i use artic mx4 on VRAM ??? help me
same question here
@@weihongooi7656 i already got my answer after watch many channel... Replacement is needed if the ol paste is coagulated... You can use regular thermal paste (not liquid metal ) or thermal pad 1.5mm or 1.0mm measure yourself... Just remove old paste or old pad
@@weihongooi7656 but if old paste still sticky you dont need to do anything.... just replace paste for cpu and gpu
@@stssundr2807 thank you very much!! You have repasted the same model? If yes, how is the temperature after repasting it?
Does it use the same type of paste? The one on the vram chips look more blue than the paste used on the cpu and gpu.
why you didnt clean paste from around cpu/gpu ?
its technically not necessary
@@jimmyrussels6631 what is the pastes around the gpu/cpu for?
@@wimonte8725 its just excess paste from putting it on in the first place.
Strong russian accent
Let’s clean the fans of dust by moving it all evenly around the logic board 😂
Yes, this is a demo and I hope you understand that it is not necessary to clean the fan above the motherboard
@howfixit this is my old laptop. I want to resurrect it. Is it stock with paste on the VRM ?! 😅
