Holy shit, thanks man. My GU501GM always ran CSGO around 95C, but after it, it lowered to around 64-70C. I did everything you did without the toothbrush and denatured alcohol, and it still works great. You’re a lifesaver man.

[@Vic_S.]

Thank you so much for this! You have no idea how much you've helped me with this video. Thank you!

[@ricieribernardi6237]

Just repasted my GU501GM using this tutorial as a reference. I had never did that before and this video was so enlightening that I actually think it has gone much easier than I thought. Thank you so much for your help! I used arctic 1.5mm thermal pads (as you recommended), Arctic Cleaner and Arctic MX-4. Temps look absolutely GREAT as far as I could test the pc.

I was trying to play Conan Exiles in my ROG GU501GM with settings at LOW and due to high temperatures (CPU at 80-90°), the game was stuttering all the time and I could not get more than 20 fps. I tried everything in terms of settings and optimization of Windows, NVIDIA control panel etc. Nothing worked. Then I cleaned the coolers using a teeth brush and the temperatures dropped to 60-70°. Now I'm running Conan Exiles with CINEMATIC settings without any stuttering while I'm waiting for the thermal paste I bought. Thanks for the video, man!

[@ig88b1]

Great video! Going to take mine apart as soon as my pads and paste come in. This video should take the guesswork out for me. Thank you!

[@VesmicTCG]

Thanks for the vid man, just did this for my GU502GW and everything was almost the same except I didn't need to remove the fan

[@GrandKaiserBahamut]

I had to change both fans because they werent working so this helped me a lot i didnt though it would be so much of a hassle to change them x-x thank you man you are a lifesafer!

[@stanwong2504]

Thanks for the video, I am working on the same exact laptop. Very helpful.

[@mac2805]

Very helpful guide! I've been looking for a tutorial for repasting since I got the G531GT which do not have much tutorials and even no service manual. But this one looks to have the same chasis so I can refer to this with repasting, hopefully the inside looks the same.

[@juantasstic]

Thank you for your video! I have a similar asus laptop and wanted to improve my thermals. I hope this does the trick. Great video!

[@cxian]

"22:56" you forgot the screw of the exhaust fan before putting the heat-sink back. anyway, nice tutorial mate

[@austinemmons2647]

Thanks for making this, I think it’s very helpful. However I would’ve liked to see CPU temps during load before and after, not idle.

[@dennisdjy]

Thanks! Very thorough explanation.

[@mustafaucar3932]

Thanks mate it was really helpful

[@blendernoob8993]

Hi Billy Yount!

[@missingmusuem9579]

its a very helpful video, thabks a lot!

[@germanicheritage1940]

Awesome video thanks

[@arivega1312]

Thank you! Subbed!!!

[@mosconioni4523]

Thanks for doing this guide video! I noticed it looked like Asus just used thermal paste on the memory also, so curious if it is fine to just replace the thermal paste instead of using thermal pads?

[@STEELLgameplays]

Hey! Really good video. One question. Do I need to use thermal pads because I´ve never heard of them. Can I use normal thermal paste instead?

[@jpiscina]

nice job bro :)

[@DonVTV]

What's the name of the black tape that covers the fans and the heat sink? I covered mine with electrical tape but I'd rather put what's recommended

[@ghaithbakir4834]

Thank u ❤️

[@DeafOnAllFronts]

The new ROG laptops have the same bottom cover but I noticed the vents are not covered but the new ones for some reason are covered with a plastic film with a metal plate :\, was getting 95'c while playing GTAV when I took off them covers now its 80'c, I feel like they forgot to remove them...

[@pclarkson85]

Really great video. You should have more subs, but you got mine!

[@bagman4235]

I bought this laptop about a year ago and I'm about to clean it soon. How often should I reapply thermal paste to it?

[@lgchinadragon]

Very nice and in-depth video!
what type of thermal pads did you use? and would it be okay to use 1.5 mm thermal pads instead?

[@totalanonymous8180]

no.

[@Miguel-tb2np]

Great!

[@frimm3846]

So what size thermal pads did you use for the vram so I know which ones I should order. I don't want to order to small. Maybe post a link? Would be helpful

[@staticbg]

thanks man, helped me!

[@superbri007]

Is the type of black thermal tape a cloth acetate tape? (the kind you had to rip up to separate heat sink and fans). If you're not sure, what type of tape did you get from Home Depot?

[@dudel2a]

Thanks for the video. Can you please explain keyboard replacement thanks a lot

[@aeon7748]

What kind of screw driver bit you use to remove heatsink bolts, mine wont turn with 00 and 000 bit ‘m afraid i’d damage them.

[@ScarArm]

Hi. Tell me please, what kind of thermal interface on video memory chips and power chokes was before(factory)?

[@PhillyWatts]

Your videos are very helpful and informative, thank you dude! Can someone explain further why not to put new pads on the cpu side of the heat sink as well?

[@PhillyWatts]

Currently repasting mine, thanks to you! I'll report back with the results.

[@PhillyWatts]

I used Kryonaut and Arctic Thermal Pads. This morning I'm seeing around -10 degrees in idle or just watching CZcams. Overall, much better temps across the board (especially in CPU temps). The Witcher 3 still hits up to 75 degrees on my GPU after an hour or so, but I'll take it! Thank you dude!

[@EladansClan]

17:52 Can I also just use thermal paste by grizzly?

[@TiDisL]

can ya link me where u bought ur screwdriver for the back screws

[@gaarxeriss9692]

hey what brand blower are you using and if possible plz link one youve tried thanks in advance

[@ReverseGoingForward]

@comptechnyc I desperately want to know what kind of thermal pads you used

[@Koderman90]

Replacing thermal paste on my laptop gave a temperature drop of 15 degrees Celsius under load.

[@shaunellul1984]

I know it’s an old video but what did you do with the screw that you didn’t put on the gpu fan? Lol 😆

[@mehmetariftasl8277]

can i use thermal paste on the gpu ram instead of pads will it cause any overheating due to any gaps that may occur

[@foxforcerecon7770]

How did you dust the fans ?

[@dantesdiscoinfernolol]

7:40 so I can find it later

[@destinycalled]

My Asus same model lasted 5 before having to do this hope my gpu didn't burn up from mining it stopped working right...

[@auronkardek]

8:14 mine is below the heatpipe.....

[@darren2857]

What do I do if I stripped out a screw.. .

[@Patt0101]

I replaced the thermal paste of my laptop, rog zephyrus gx502gw, similar to this laptop. I used thermal pads 0.5mm for the gpu modules like in this video. I used thermal paste only for the cpu and gpu. The temps went down like -15celsius. The problem i am gettin is, i get GPU usage spikes, like every 5 min GPU goes 99% usage for 20seconds, i get FPS drop in game. Should i open it again and put paste everywhere and not use pads? Or is there any tip?

[@pcclub2890]

Have you fix the fps drops?

[@noahwhite2265]

Do you know if it’s possible to use liquid metal instead of thermal paste?

[@SolidSonicTH]

Wondering this too. I notice there are surface mount components on the GPU. Conformal coating *should* protect against damage to those but being a laptop I'm not sure if that's wise.

[@blackzcat8690]

my zephyrus is idling on 55 C underload its 96 C and its only 1 year old

[@aragureghian724]

Sadly I could never do that! I am clumsy and I will panic! Wish I could.

[@mrLuleGameDev]

I've bought a 8g thermal paste.. wonder if will it be enough can anybody help me pls

[@saranguyen2788]

Anyone else having issuing finding a replacement charger for this laptop? Apparently stores don’t have it -_-“

[@azghar.suhail]

Arctic Silver 5 is better or Artic mx-4?

[@vakyz5333]

MX-4

[@kingjez2903]

Can is use this PAD >>> EC360® SILVER 12W/mK (50 x 50 x 1,0 mm) ?

[@ares_cherry9400]

Okay who disliked this?
