Oh yes before I forgot, the last image shows got 1 thermal tape (near RAM slot). That is to reduce temperature for PCH. After some stressing it wont raise more than 65C. (Previously shoot up at 78C.

More info can look below link.

PCH

Very cool idea with the thermal tape, but the chip won't get heat up by the heatsink instead right?

dbrand was good enough to send me another set because i key in incomplete address. Surprisingly, i received both! damn good the dbrand cs.hahah

Sharing some mod that I've done to my laptop.

(As attached)

i use some aluminium tape (can be bought at ace hardware) and tape around the fan and some of copper heat sink. Basically this is to ensure the heat is not spread out (its like contain it) and the heat will flow right the way it was.

For thermal paste I've used Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut (paste) and Thermal Grizzly Minus Pad 8. At the moment idling is around 50C with room temperature.

I've used same method for my Alienware M17X-R4. So far so good.

Cheers.

Cool MOD. thinking of doing the same 
My i7-8750h 15R4 didn't get any better after re pasting with Kryonaut. Guess the 6 core processor just runs hot. Thinking of contacting Dell again next month.

Could be uneven surface on the heat sink. else, is it overheat? if does then need to contact Dell ASAP.

Guys, are your aw 15 like this? My screen hinge and lid is slightly out of alignment. The lid is aligned more towards the left side.

These are temps while playing Dota 2. Repasted with Kryonaut.







That's what I thought so. They change the heatsink once. and the heat isn't getting any better. Will report next again week.
Wow, that's really out of alignment. My unit fits perfectly with a small and even gap between left and right hinge.

Well, at least i aint the only one with hot temps.

Dell "engineer" already replaced my heatsink and fan and used a better thermal paste and this laptop is still overheating.

I already asked for a replacement which can take up to 20+ days which i will wait and see.

Worst come to worst, complain to tribunal and get my refund.

Sick of waiting....

o well

How did you ask for the replacement unit?

D Brand have 15% sell on all skin. There's a new skin pattern as well.

I just said this to the customer support.

"Since even after replacing heatsink and fan, my laptop is still overheating and i want a replacement unit." to which they agree and raise a ticket.

Now i am still waiting for their update. By next week still no news, will be using the tribunal case court card to get my refund. SICK OF WAITING   

did you try undervolt that beast though?

Bruh, undervolted -0.150V and still can get to 100 degrees...

For now, underclock to 3.3GHz while playing games still can reach 90degress.     

I bought cooler master u3 plus and 2 units 8inch mini fans to blow it while playing game ... 

FYI, I just upgrade BIOS from ver 1.1.6 to 1.5.0. Looks like it got little bit improvement for temperature control. 

No difference......

All drivers are up to date.. still overheating.
