QUOTE(eugenechiuu @ Feb 22 2011, 09:36 AM) Haha I am not in Malaysia la.. Saw in eBay.. Ahh, of coz, you're in London. Is it any good? I read somewhere which reviewed like 80 different thermal compounds.. AS5 seems rank slightly better than OCZ freeze.. Then after that IC diamond slightly behind OCZ freeze.. AS5 is very cheap though.. 5 pounds only..  Someone get really good result using IC diamond, that is what I want to use as well. AS5 5 pounds is cheap, lowyat selling at RM65... damnit... Not sure about other model, but opening CPU will void warranty with 3820tg... there is sticker there...

This guy, uses IC Diamond, making his 3820tg notebook idle temperature as low as 21C. this is his technique:http://forum.notebookreview.com/acer/49920...tml#post6962670 This post has been edited by cowithgun: Feb 22 2011, 10:24 AM |

QUOTE(ThisIsBoletaria @ Feb 22 2011, 10:57 AM) Thanks. I'm a bit worried about the taking off of the heat pipe step, though. Obviously I will need to be careful not to break the damn pipe, but will I encounter any stickiness or resistance when I actually pull it away from the cpu and gpu? Is there a specific technique for doing it? Dont think so. The CPU should land firmly on the socket. In fact, it is so firm that most socket actually has a "CPU removal tool" that allow you to lift up the CPU a little if you want to remove it.I talked like an expect, but I have never do it before!  All I know, I read this from this guy's PDF on how to remove 3820tg to change CPU...http://www.mediafire.com/?7zwo3dpxx1hgfm3  |

QUOTE(ThisIsBoletaria @ Feb 22 2011, 12:07 PM) Uh... do I need to take the CPU and GPU out of their sockets to take off the heat pipe? Nope. But you may want to remove the CPU to clean the surface properly. I was hoping you to do it and let me know of the result!Anyway, looking through disassembly guides for my Asus u80v, I think this is way beyond my depth. |
