Please how K5PRO looks after disassembly, especially after longer time? Could not find any info/nor videos on it. I expect it to be like silicone for windows, hoping it gets harder than toothpaste.
Also, when removing does it come off in one piece or much cleaning is needed?
I have been completely ignoring K5PRO, basically making fun of it, but after reading that YOU use it (always good posts) I consider it to be a good solution. THXRei Fukai likes this. -

Thanx, so there was clearly contact between heatsink and components after disassembly?
I mean K5 PRO did not 'melt away' and lose contact? -

Because it becomes a gum like structure, the cleaning up process is very straightforward. They come loose like big pieces of gum and if everything was compressed well, you can re-use it with a small fresh layer applied to let it cure to the right fitment of your heatsink.
It has been doing me well since I've got my 17 R4 and now with the R5 I was able to eliminate VREL on the GPU completely.
Now with this new heartsink I have to rebalance it again and apply K5 to keep my VRM Temps down again.c69k likes this. -
Is OC turned on in the bios, what are your powerlimits HWinfo measures and what are your temps/benchmark voltage your CPU pulls -

K5 pro across VRMS too and worked beautiful manRei Fukai likes this. -

- Intel SpeedStep (enable/ disable over TS or BIOS)
- Intel SpeedShift (enable/ disable over TS)
- check windows power settings (balance, battery, max perfomance mode)
- check AWCC fan profil

Do you guys tighten screws with this heatsink all the way? Im afraid to crack dies if i tighten them all the way because when im screwing them it feels like a lot of pressure comparing to original one.

Is this heatsink still available? How can i get one please? I tried everything but even at stock 2.9ghz on cpu, LM and k5pro all round, pch and nvme's heatsinks, coolpad, etc, gpu locked at 1500mhz, temps not exceeding 75 on cpu, 70 on gpu, 70 on pch I still get crashes after about an hour play this is the last resort so if this does not help I am going to throw it away (
P.S.: undervolt on cpu, undervolt on gpu, LM on cpu, kryonaut on gpu, the whole nine yards. My test is nfs heat full details plus prime95. It holds about an hour and then crash even if nothing goes beoyond 75C -
It doesn't seem to be a temperature related issue. So i would not search the problem in the heatsink.

So what could it be? I am at the end of my rope here (....it works beautifully until it heats up....and then boom, crash....its killing me

Any ideas are welcome but it seems weird. Meanwhile I have to find a way to keep the temps under 75

Hi there,
I'm interested in buying a 17 r5 but I know the original heatsink just does not do the job.
How well does this new heatsink cooling these models? It will basically sell me on this laptop depending on how well it does -
I posted here aswell but the topic seems dead. Nobody is bothered with the R5 s anymore . I would buy one aswell but I think all the skilled guys have moved towards better machines

I am useing this heatsink with 17R5. My original heatsink had not good contact with CPU and i had 96 degrees always. But after buy this heatsink my CPU feeling better. Maybe original heatsink was defective but with new heatsink better. This heatsink very fat and need more time for heat this cooper.

My 17R5 has I7 8750h and gtx1070

I got one of these for my 17 R4 finally. Only had Hydronaut at hand, but so far I'm quite happy with it as it's a marked improvement over the stock one in this heat. Plus, I like how it also cools the chipset, as well.
I'll see how it runs in the long term, but I guess I should have ordered it a long time ago.Teknobry likes this.
