If you are using this video as a guide, you should applied thermal paste ON the cpu/gpu Integrated Heat Spreader (IHS) and not on the heatsink itself. Thermal paste should not include the green area, only CPU/GPU ihs should be covered by thermal paste. now since you applied to the heatsink which already more than the area of your cpu/gpu ihs, your thermal paste will spead out of the green area to the board. The green area are there is to prevent incase you applied too much thermal paste it wont spread to the board when the cooler is mounted. it is a bad practices as it can cause short circuit and fry your motherboard. It can be even worst if you are using liquid metal thermal paste.
Best g7 video maintenance ever. Repaste solved my annoing throttling during The games. Before Repaste, even with undervolt, my temps was UP to 95 degrees. After, my i7 8750h beat 73 - 77 degrees. Thks and greetings from Brazil
You have to limit that ridiculous 4.2 Ghz turbo boost as well. A simple undervolt wont help much by itself. Ive mine at 3.2 max turbo boost on all cores and a 130.9 mv undervolt on the core and cache. Getting 70C-80C while gaming with that configuration. I might re paste next idk
Can you PLEASE tell me what is the corret keyboard flat cable conector for Dell G7 157588? I´ve been searching for it for a while, Dell support is unable to tell me, they want me to replace the whole motherboard!
I just want to appreciate this video, I followed this guide and reapplied the paste on my G7 it was not an easy thing to do. Not recommended for rookies to say the least. The only problem for me was one of the screws to remove the heat pipes was very tight, I almost stripped the screw and lost all my hope that it would never be possible to apply a new paste on my pc anymore. Luckily I gave it a one hard force push onto the screw and turned, and voila it worked. So this is the tip I give you. Be careful not to strip the tight screws, push onto the screw hard and turn, but also make sure you dont break the PCB by putting a counter pressure from beneath to distribute the force that you are putting on the screw
Thanks for the video, at first I was hesitant, but ended up doing it. It wasn't that hard, just broke 2 parts and cut my arm, but the cooling improved a lot
This is why some youtuber said that better to choose G3 rather this series for easier upgradable components. But i must say this is more look appealing & solid with some of the cover in entire board.
In case anyone was wondering, that's 54 screws to get to the CPU (58 in the video, I was missing 4 on mine randomly despite never once opening it???)

I thought I could take this apart and replace my keyboard but now I doubt I would be able to keep up with all the screws. I know I can't afford out of warranty repair so now I'm stumped as to what to next. Thank you so much for the video tho.
Fans going hard and no display afterwards, any advice. Might have missed something putting it back together. Edit: just needs to cycle a few times due to the bios config etc
Just disassembled, redid thermal paste. Put back together and no video, fans run full speed... The radiators were both completely full of hair and dust, no air had been moving and the customer said games were very laggy. I'm wondering if the design of the heatsink causing the board to flex slightly when reassembled has caused a crack when putting back together. Edit: After reseating RAM 3 more times it gets good POST. I had not even removed the RAM during the initial process.
Was the new cooler an upgrade one Dell supplied to fix heating issues? Or was it the stock one to replace your bent one? If it is an upgrade I definitely need to get one.
I need to replce the keyboard on mine, (the A, and 1 keys are busted) but i did not see him even touch that part :C maybe i just missed him setting it aside
my friend has this laptop and needs to repair it because his child bent it and broke the piece connecting the monitor and main body. what is that piece called?
hey did you clean off the thermal paste or it didnt come with any thermal paste on the heatsink and how far did you have to go to get to the speakers cause my speakers are making funny noixe s i plan to fix it so how far did you have to ho to reach the speaker

How did you talk customer service into sending you a new heatsink??? I am having the same issue but don’t want to send my laptop back. Did you specifically tell them your background and ask for one? Did they put up a fight over it. I take it you voided your warranty by doing this?
Hey I just got the same laptop, do I have to replace the entire heatsink or can I just repaste it with the better compound? Thanks for taking you time to do this video
I have DELL G7 7588, when I plug the AC cable adapter the laptop power on automatically. I formatted the system partition and installed windows 10, check bios settings, everything tou can imagine I did it, I change also the laptop battery for a new one still the same issue. Last week I turned off the laptop, after ten seconds it starts by itself on battery or AC cable adapter plugged. I don’t know what to do. My laptop is out of warranty. is it a power button problem. Thank you.
Hey, just yesterday my G7 kept saying something along the lines of “usb power surge” repeatedly nonstop, even after restarting. After a few minutes the entire computer died and will no longer boot up. The two USB ports on the right side had mice receivers in them and now smell like burnt plastic. Dell is fixing it for free, but in the mean time, anyone know why this may have happened?
Hey man , nice video! Want to ask you that how much it affected your thermals , because I have a G5 also and my thermals on cpu side is like hell breaks down if its helps a lot like 5 degrees Centigrade it will be the next thing to do for me , also I tried undervolting but it still keeps throttling in most of the heavy work or even in the games.
hey i noticed if you go to windows power settings and the advanced area, my min processor performance when plugged in was 100% so it was always clocking at 4ghz making it way overheat. i got a 20 dollar heating pad, fixed that and reinstalled windows. now instead of 90 my top is about 65-75c
i should clarify, on battery it was 100% of the time at full blast, now that it is optimized x20 or x30 for whatever the task is it doesnt need to be full throttled , however still can be, and gets the job done great. I would do 5%, i have seen that referenced as a good minimum and its what i used.
Well this job most be done by all users I think. I have a G5 with GTX 1060 and i7 8750h internal disassembly it's the same. After a year the original thermal compound stopped working and deploying 95° C while gaming. After re pasting with Kryonaut I managed to play between 65° - 80° C.
Great news ! Well that laptop is long gone for me . I bought a thin and light ryzen 5 laptop and sold my g7 . It was horrible . I don't ever want to buy a gaming laptop again
I have a same laptop but my issue the laptop screen are flickering while I'm browsing using 2nd touch screen monitor any have idea or help can solution my problem?
My laptop is getting uncomfortably hot, like in the 90c range, and I need to keep it for as long as i can. Im thinking of doing what you did in this video to maybe help the processor not overheat. Would you recommend paste or a thermal pad like the IC Graphite thermal pad?
@@drewbadwolf5182 I'm using throttlestop to undervolt and I also turned off the Turboboost which I think was a major factor affecting solely the heat output of the cpu
@@jaydattchampavat6387 ya , I killed my hp ryzen 7 laptop with liquid metal . If you go to my channel I used to have a ryzen 5 laptop, then returned it for a 7 . Then repaste it with liquid metal but killed it .
Dell wants me to send me to send the same model to them to fix thermal issues. Does 50ish idle like you’re but gaming sometimes to 100. Thought about doing it myself but not anymore after watching this. BTW you never mentioned the results of it, disappointed. How are your temps now?
I have a strong conviction that the first thing to do is to disconnect the battery! When you start disassembling a laptop with a connected battery, it's not professional.
I'm from Vietnam and I'm very interested in this laptop. Mind if you tell me how to get that heatsink replacement ? BTW, great great video and experience
@@awstech6217I kinda feel like calling them when I replaced my thermal paste on mine i noticed that my thermal pads had air bubbles how did you tell them that you will do a self repair?? do you have the basic warranty??
I want to do this but I’m afraid to do it. It will be my first computer to take apart. I already got the new heat sink but in really scared... I’m trying to work up the guys to do it
Everything is fine except the way you put the thermal paste, just put small pea size paste on cpu & gpu. I never heard anyone saying to apply thermal paste directly on heatsink.
whats the most tricky part here?Something we should pay much attention and be careful about?i saw you spend some time putting the power adaptor port back in place.
Is the cmos that little black circle coin looking with red wired? Cause I'm having problem with overclocking and now my laptop goes blackscreen..i overclocked toomuch help?
@@awstech6217 can you help me. My computer is turned on but stuck on black screen. I tried "bios default and factory settings" options and it told me to restart it then it just repeated. Stuck on blackscreen again. Due to overclocked
God, this looks like hell to disassembly and reassembly. I've ordered thermal paste already, but this made me feel intimidated and think twice. There seemed to be a lot of screws, and I'm afraid I can't remember all of them even if I made that thing you did with the blank paper. Why is Dell: shipping a freaking gaming laptop with lower quality thermal paste--way too much of it on top of that, and made the disassembly this difficult? I guess I will not be buying Dell laptop next time if it's just going to be like this. But still, I will really have to repaste and all. I've been running this thing for nearly 3 years without repasting.
having a weird problem and not sure why after finishing all of this my laptop is not starting properly , fans are running max speed and the screen is not turning on and I'm scared that i did something wrong
@@darknight602 sadly sir it turned out to be Bios issue , and you have to contact dell support so they can give you an exact same bios as the one you have , or you gonna have to change motherboard eitherways contact the nearest dell support center and hopefully you can get a fix/replacement not like me I still didnt fix it because there are non in my country sadge good luck friend !
Nope, absolutely zero fan configuration settings in the BIOS. Speed fan also does nothing on this laptop. No custom fan curves for us! We can thank Dell
This is one of the most relevant laptop CPU on the market, what would you even replace it with and why? You can't get more "goldy locks" / sweet spot than this I7-8750H for both performance and thermal characteristic. Read about the Intel I9 cpus and thermal throttling and you will understand why this CPU is a better choice overall for gaming. I spent hours reading to figure out which laptop I should acquire and learned a bunch about the current state of the CPU industry. I ended up buying this G7 laptop even though my budget was 3-4 thousand bucks I paid 1199$ US on Amazon. The bottom line is that, if your laptop runs hot and loud, you will not have a great experience. You should find a good balance. Let's pretend you buy a gaming laptop with a big I9 CPU, it will thermal throttle after reaching a certain temperature and end up running at a similar clock speed than this I-8750H and you will have lost 600 bucks. If it's more cores you are after, buy a dekstop.
@@benoitbourque344 I agree with you on it already hitting a sweet spot, although it took me quite some further thinking to get here. My initial thought is buying a G7 with i5, because i7 seems like a overkill for gtx 1060. And I was thinking 3 years down the line,one may get a external GPU through thunderbolt 3(why else buy a thunderbolt 3 laptop if not utilizing it, I was thinking) and upgrade the CPU to i7 or maybe i9(I don't know if the mother board will support it). Eventually I decided to drop the idea for a external GPU is almost as big as an itx PC.
@@benoitbourque344 I bought my g7 for 950, after fixing the issue I rest at 30c idle . I feel that if your smart enough to reball it I think this laptop cooling system is still good enough for cooling it down .
Well there goes my plans on wanting to change my thermal paste!(Thanks for making it easy Dell......)
I wanted to use conductonaut, but after this video i see that are very complicated / laborious.

Thanks for the video. Basically it gave me courage to go through the procedure. Used gc extreme and temps dropped from 99-->69-70
Nice seeing you being successful!
Just a tip, put the thermal paste on top of the processors. Not the heatsinks.

I want to do this but I’m afraid to do it. It will be my first computer to take apart. I already got the new heat sink but in really scared... I’m trying to work up the guys to do it
How did it go brother??...did you do it?..tell me your experience..I am also scared😬
I bet you fucked up 🤣
@@stavanvyas8975 I did it! Succeeded and now my computer works amazingly! Now I just gotta do the keyboard :/
@@xuhnenfels0935 nope! Did really well and changed heat sync as well as the thermal paste!
Everything is fine except the way you put the thermal paste, just put small pea size paste on cpu & gpu. I never heard anyone saying to apply thermal paste directly on heatsink.
I get 40 idle now so I think I did good
from where did u buy the heat sink
Dell sent me one
Do you know how to remove stripped screws? :( im desperate
Nothing works
whats the most tricky part here?Something we should pay much attention and be careful about?i saw you spend some time putting the power adaptor port back in place.
Hmm , the video was my second time opening it, id say getting to the mobo is very annoying .
@@awstech6217 Why are you doing it for the second time? Was it just to make the video or do you have to keep changing thermal paste?
@@mmarfe my new heat sink came. The old one was defective . Dell sent me a new one
@@awstech6217 what was the problem with it? I may have the same problem. Was you computer running too hot?
@@mmarfe yes . Too hot. The heat sink is bent
Did you change the gpu thermal pads?
YEs
Is the cmos that little black circle coin looking with red wired? Cause I'm having problem with overclocking and now my laptop goes blackscreen..i overclocked toomuch help?
Yes
@@awstech6217 can you help me. My computer is turned on but stuck on black screen. I tried "bios default and factory settings" options and it told me to restart it then it just repeated. Stuck on blackscreen again. Due to overclocked
@@zbrokenzt4424 sorry I don't have this laptop anymore . I sold it right after this video . It was bad laptop
@@awstech6217 So you don't know how to fix it?tech..
@@zbrokenzt4424 sorry as I don't have this laptop anymore
That damn music man... Fack!
My fan broke.. Where to buy fan for dell g7 pls where can i contact you i have some questions. Hope you will reply i really need your help great video
Call Dell .
God, this looks like hell to disassembly and reassembly. I've ordered thermal paste already, but this made me feel intimidated and think twice. There seemed to be a lot of screws, and I'm afraid I can't remember all of them even if I made that thing you did with the blank paper. Why is Dell: shipping a freaking gaming laptop with lower quality thermal paste--way too much of it on top of that, and made the disassembly this difficult?
I guess I will not be buying Dell laptop next time if it's just going to be like this. But still, I will really have to repaste and all. I've been running this thing for nearly 3 years without repasting.
This thing is a budget Dell laptop. I sold it 1 month after I repaste it lol
AwsTech 150k yen is not budget at all in my opinion (；ω；) Thanks for the reply though.
Do you have a link to the thermal pads?
Dell sent me thermalmpads . Ask them for some . They gave me a whole new heatsink
@@awstech6217 Did you call them ? Or somewhere on the website. Thanks again .
@@thebrodnaxs8304 I chatted on live chat
having a weird problem and not sure why after finishing all of this my laptop is not starting properly , fans are running max speed and the screen is not turning on and I'm scared that i did something wrong
I have the same issue, figure it out? Guessing something not connected
@@darknight602 sadly sir it turned out to be Bios issue , and you have to contact dell support so they can give you an exact same bios as the one you have , or you gonna have to change motherboard
eitherways contact the nearest dell support center and hopefully you can get a fix/replacement not like me I still didnt fix it because there are non in my country sadge
good luck friend !
@@rkorabbit3811 just had to wait for the pc to reboot cycle a couple of times due to the bios config. Everything’s working now
@@darknight602 congratz man , really happy for you !
@@rkorabbit3811 any solve?
You forgot to link screwdriver set
Does the fan run on BIOS bootup?
Nope, absolutely zero fan configuration settings in the BIOS. Speed fan also does nothing on this laptop. No custom fan curves for us! We can thank Dell
i will break mine when i just open that back case cover.so i gave up🤥
You are so clever
Thanks
Replace the keyboard while I did the thermal paste
I am wondering if the cpu can be upgraded. Can it be removed?
Yes , you would need to reball the cpu in order for it to be removed.
@@awstech6217 Thanks a lot
This is one of the most relevant laptop CPU on the market, what would you even replace it with and why? You can't get more "goldy locks" / sweet spot than this I7-8750H for both performance and thermal characteristic. Read about the Intel I9 cpus and thermal throttling and you will understand why this CPU is a better choice overall for gaming. I spent hours reading to figure out which laptop I should acquire and learned a bunch about the current state of the CPU industry. I ended up buying this G7 laptop even though my budget was 3-4 thousand bucks I paid 1199$ US on Amazon. The bottom line is that, if your laptop runs hot and loud, you will not have a great experience. You should find a good balance. Let's pretend you buy a gaming laptop with a big I9 CPU, it will thermal throttle after reaching a certain temperature and end up running at a similar clock speed than this I-8750H and you will have lost 600 bucks. If it's more cores you are after, buy a dekstop.
@@benoitbourque344 I agree with you on it already hitting a sweet spot, although it took me quite some further thinking to get here. My initial thought is buying a G7 with i5, because i7 seems like a overkill for gtx 1060. And I was thinking 3 years down the line,one may get a external GPU through thunderbolt 3(why else buy a thunderbolt 3 laptop if not utilizing it, I was thinking) and upgrade the CPU to i7 or maybe i9(I don't know if the mother board will support it). Eventually I decided to drop the idea for a external GPU is almost as big as an itx PC.
@@benoitbourque344 I bought my g7 for 950, after fixing the issue I rest at 30c idle . I feel that if your smart enough to reball it I think this laptop cooling system is still good enough for cooling it down .
