You're pulling my leg right? Haha...
Just in case, that is after a repaste (Grizzly Conductonaut+Repad+Custom HS Mod+HS Fix)
Please tell me you're joking lol....it's clearly stated on the screen shot. There's no way stock paste would pull those numbers.
-
nooooo i meant the pads, not the repaste!
In other words: what's the difference between pads height on 15/17?
I don't want to get on ur nervesI just ask because I want to repad and only saw the 17 pic in OP.

@iunlock
I travel a lot and bring my laptop with backpack.
Isn't it dangerous if I repaste my laptop with Liquid Metal?
from what i've read liquid metal doesn't dissolve.
also about how long will the liquid metal lasts? and needed to repaste again?Last edited: Dec 18, 2016 -

Hi all again, From my previous post and from what some folks had said regarding my temps after re-pasting and following iunlock's tutorial on how to do it
When i added the (Grizzly Conductonaut it sent the Package Sensor off the scale and when i installed HWiNFO64 it picked up that the sensor was not working, but the GPU and CPU were fine. Anyway, I was happy with the Average Temps i was achieving and just how fast the temps came down when the fans came in at full spin.
After having a lovely conversation with captn.ko and his take on what temps should be ...I decided to strip the lappy down again and redo with ArticSilver Paste. I was surprised at the results, the Package Sensor started working again and the temps were even better than before. I installed HWiNFO64 to try and replicate results as to what other people are using. I have never been one for posting on here before i started this little journey but anyways my results..
Results from running 3D mark Time Spy with ArticSilver and another pic of the highest temps during the benchmark

Then i did what iunlock did which was play a game for 30 odd minutes and using HWiNFO64 show my results (BF1 on ultra settings - see previous post for on screen settings)
This is stock CPU and GPU playing for 46 minutes

This is with the CPU in the Bios set to performance and Fans set to Enable and GPU as stock playing for 36 minutes. Please note i have the Alienware 17 r4 1070 with the i7 6700HQ chip.

So there you go i hope this as helped anyone. I am going to keep this laptop as is now and see how it goesalso thanks to iunlock and OWNORDISOWN to bring this issue on Youtube regarding the Alienware heating.

iunlock, I just ordered a Alienware 17 R4 1080 and am very concerned about the temps after reading your post. I was looking over your instructions for re-doing the thermal paste and its honestly a little over whelming for me. I doubt your in Arizona for me to be able to pay you to do it for me lol. But do you have any advice or suggestions for someone like myself who is just very worried they are going to mess something up?
I Also saw during OWNORDISOWN youtube interview that you said you offer a service to do this, but I didn't hear information on how to get that. I am interesting in this, what would I have to do?Last edited: Dec 19, 2016 -

You need more posts to enable PM. And it is called "start a conversation" when you click on someone's avatar (picture, top left of the post)

@iunlock what bios are these on?
Can you explain?
Repaste+Repad <----I get this
Custom HS Mod<---is this the arm bend
Fix<-----or is thisPete Light likes this. -
Repaste = change thermal conductor compound on the CPU and GPU die
Repad = change thermal conductor pad on the power delivery circuitry and video RAM/vRAM
HS mod = change GTX1070 heatsink to a GTX1080 one (this is not finalized yet)
Fix = bend arm + several other things to provide better contact to the CPU/GPU siliconPete Light likes this. -
What's the bend several other things? Far as I could see on the guide it's only the arm?
Cheers,
Pete -

My support to the efforts to help others achieve thermal bliss; tutorial on how to disassemble and repaste the Alienware 15 R3
Apologies for the poor audio, didn't have my mic and used the laptop mic on the AW15R3... not bad but not super great.

Also, would you be so kind to post up your temps? (HWiNFO64)
Run OCCT for at least 1 Hour and make sure that your power limits are unlocked so that it's not being capped running ~45w...
Thanks! -
Does this would work?
Cooler Master ThermalFusion 400
To repaste the 15 R3? gtx 1070 and the i7-6820HK ??? -
Thanks! will use instead!
-
I will run tomorrow
I unfortunately have uneven core temps; just finished playing about 1.5 hrs of The Division and my CPU difference is 69-81C. Also, I feel as though the fans kick in a bit late as I have ran OCCT and initial temps reach 91C before fans blast. after about 20 minutes the highest read core is 82C.
I am going to replace the kyronaut with conductonaut in the new year! -
-
Any other heat saving tips other than the above and to use conductonaught and fujipoly pads? I.e. Tips when doing the work itself? -

You can also save some money by using arctic thermal pads -
hello guys how are you? i saw the first post and i only have one question:
can anyone post here the exactly products that i need to purchase for the repaste (only the necessary) and if im able to find them at amazon or ebay, because since im from Brazil, ill have to import then. Thanks -
He has a pretty good list of what you need next to both the 15 and 17 inch heatsink pictures. Conductonaut was not available on Amazon when I looked, but was easily found on Ebay. Read his post through a few times, and make your list.
-
Thanks guys, also, obvious question I think but I assume you void the warranty and any on site premium support if you do the repaste?

Brilliant thanks guys I won't chuck away my old AS5 then

Ok so moral of the story, make sure I'm happy with the rest of the laptop e.g.screen etc, before repasting with LM.
Isn't there a warranty sticker I need to worry about or anything?Last edited: Dec 21, 2016 -
Finally got around to working on my personal unit...it's been turn on only 3 times since I've received it LOL...
No more uneven core issues....moral of the story, it can be fixed and the results are real.
More to come... -
Is the 17.0 W/mK Fuji pads good? Amazon doesn't have the 11.0 W/mK.
-
-
-
-
You can also opt for arctic thermal pads for 6w/mk and much cheaper -
I ordered the 11w/mk from FrozenCPU.com. Hopefully I'll have it by next Monday or Tuesday. Trying to knock it out while I'm on break.
