Improve cooling x170kmg

[a-bracci00]

Qualcuno ha migliorato in qualche modo il raffreddamento di questo PC? Esistono ventole aftermarket migliori? Quelle che forniscono più pressione (più alette) e magari sono più silenziose?

Hi

 

there is already a FORUM specially for that laptop, it has all the necessary Answers and Question you are looking for. 
 

I can give you some advice.

 

1- Proper thermal Pad size and well clean polished heatsink. (You can use PTM7950 for GPU and CPU only, very efficient) 

 

2- Use a copper shim of 0.5mm under the GPU die, it has a kind of a small gap that thermal paste cannot properly cover. Use thermal paste on both side to the copper shim Or PTM7950 thermal pad. 

3- BUY a Water-cooler or make your own (eBay or Aliexpress) for overclocking is necessary. 

4- last, you can delid your CPU with better Copper die or use the same DIE change the internal thermalpaste from factory, Intel thermal paste is not that good, use Liquid Metal from thermal grizzly. (WARNING: Very dangerous to do, can break your CPU) 

 

For more question please follow the official Forum.

Thanks, so no fans, or they wouldn't be needed anyway. I'd already read the forum, but thanks anyway. Unfortunately, since I don't know anyone who delid processors, I think I'll just use PTM or Helios pads. That heatsink is interesting, if only it didn't cost as much as a PC. The 0.5mm pads are interesting, maybe I can evaluate them, but I think I'll need to apply a layer of thermal paste to dissipate well. Thanks.

Hi

Sorry I really misunderstood your first question, better fans and quieter 🤔 I haven’t heard anything likely in the forum, better thermal paste, metal liquid or PTM7950 pad and de-liding CPU is the only thing I can come up, but this model laptop won’t ever ran quieter, it has a hot CPU no commonly made for laptop is for PC. That’s kind of impossible. Although you can run quieter laptop by using Hybrid System (switch automatically iGPU instead of dedicated GPU when not needed, that requires unlocked BIOS MENU) and setting up power mode for “Entertainment”, on higher performance it won’t be quieter. 
 

About watercooler, you can make your own though, if you know how to and have some solder machine. 
 

I made my own Watercooler because that 3rd party company who made that watercooler is no so efficient and is too expensive. With less than $10 dollars you can make your own. 

it requires some experience and a lot of patience but the reward is greater. 

 

If like you can Buy your own copper pipes, connectors, silicone tube and a simple waterpump and cools better than factory. 
 

 

(My own Watercooler)


First model - 1 pipe water cooler system

2nd model - 2 copper pipes watercooler system. 
 

(Made a joint, much better, so I don’t have to use 4 pipes for intake and exit. 
 

(the good thing is that I can close the Bottom Cover. A flat pipe of 3mm is necessary to properly close the bottom lid of the laptop if you want to carry it around. )

 

 

Aliexpress - has some fast and easy solution to apply a new water cooler. This must be soldered not cold solder or metal glue.
