Need to replace thermal paste (15-20C drop in CPU temp) and undervolt. End result: Good thermal performance (can refer to my review for full details)

did you apply any thermal paste replacement or undervolting on your unit ??

Isn't the warranty will be voided if replacing the thermal paste?
Because I had read some comments or reviews, most of them claimed that the temperature of this model still maintain at 80 - 90 degree even though they had change their thermal paste.

Apart from the temperature, is the noise turns louder when playing games?

No void if you don't damage anything (I've done it a few times with my lappy aldy)

Where did you read those comments/reviews?

Noise level is excellent (one of the reason why I choose this model), however fan control while idling/in light loads can be a bit annoying (in 30+C ambient temp, the fan may suddenly spin fast for 2-3 seconds)

I have no dare and experience to apply the thermal paste😅

Those comments which under YouTube videos, and also from other forums.

Was considering either this model or msi gp63-8rd. Both specs are similar and I prefer y530 design, but gp63 cooling system is better than y530.

Everyone will have the first time

I can confirm that I got a different result

Just to add: Y530 has 144Hz IPS while GP63 8RE has 120Hz TN

Which brand of thermal paste you applied on your unit?

Do those retail units selling 144Hz?? I have to buy it at retail store because I need it in urgent

I use CM Mastergel Maker Nano. You can choose a good paste from here:
http://forum.notebookreview.com/threads/wh...d-metal.806840/

Retail unit only 8750H+1050TI got 144Hz, the rest use 250 nits 45% NTSC 60Hz IPS

If urgent, might want to consider other options in the gaming laptop list

any significant reducement compare with stock thermal?

15-20C reduction in CPU temp

nice. so mastergel is better than tg?what do u think?

Both have their own pros and cons...but if you prefer most thermal performance, TG Kryonaut

manage to change thermal paste. 😁
still havent test it yet

Which thermal paste u use?

I suggest straight line method on CPU (put more/thicker) and X method on GPU

thanks for the suggestion

i check my old stuff, i found tg and noctua nh1. but i pick tg.
i use 8750h setup, undervolt and result quite nice. 72°C on stress test..

i didnt undervolt gpu yet. never use this function before since this is my 1st gaming laptop.

may i know ur undervolt setting bro? thanks

im using xtu. tried -0.150.stress test success but i think it suffer standby bug/crash. after screen sleep,my laptop seem freeze.

later i tried -0.130. it seem fine in 1st try. gonna test a couple hours more.

Which program you use for stress testing? Constant 3.9GHz all core?

GPU undervolting is worth it, can try. Process a bit complicated but I can guide you

only use xtu stress test for a couple of minutes and forza horizon 4 at ultra setting. i usually test stability using games.

rly appreciate if u can help me with undervolt gpu.tqvm
