I'm back here with jumpers easy book 3 Pro this is the version for model a very
decent Apollo Lake a laptop one of the best ones that you can get especially
for the price it's been selling for which has been 219 us so do get a lot of
questions with this model when new owners get it they won't ok how can they
clone over the emmc to an SSD so I'll go through that also go through the SSD
installation how we can also install a larger one a few little tweaks as well
just to get the most out of this particular model and disabling those
power limits and also a copper heatsink model I had a thermal pad and a bit more
copper there and we'll see if we can lower those maximum temperatures down
when you disable that power limit which of course increases the temperatures so
we'll get started now at the moment you can see I've got a completely fresh new
version for one here that has the default install here the Windows 10
image so we want to clone this over and you can see it does come with some
software called touchpad blocker but honestly I recommend just removing this
one because it doesn't really do too much and sometimes it can make the
precision touchpad we have on this feel a little bit unresponsive at times
because it what it does is it accidentally blocks touches so first off
you can understand get rid of that so if the device manager of your easy book 3
Pro lists this a generic in card that means you have one of the slower speed
ones when it comes to the EMM C Drive now a lot of people are quite lucky in
there getting Samsung's they're also getting the sand discs which are even C
5 spec ones which will perform quite quick but I highly recommend installing
an SSD so you can get reads of up to 550 megabytes per second and then writes up
to about 500 as well depending on what kind of drive you use now jumper wants
us to use a 22 by 42 millimeter one which I have installed here so you just
need one screw on the top one screw here slot on the SSD so now for those who
want to install larger is his DS larger than the size they give us with that
little flap so that flap only accommodates for the 22:42 size now to
get into the back here just remove all the screws around the outside you also
have to remove that screw that's holding down the
SSD the hatch on the back of it so once you remove that it's very easy to get
this back off and you can see the heatsink there is actually quite a
decent hint sink you don't need to do any thermal mods or anything to this
under their standard six watt or knowing what power limit that they have there in
the BIOS so it is very simple to actually install a larger SSD like may
crucial I have right here now the larger SSDs are normally cheaper and they also
perform with faster writes normally so the easiest way to do it is to simply
lift up this little plastic a bit and with a knife or some scissors or
something sharp cutting tool just cut here and here and that will allow you to
then slot in a larger drive and use some electrical tape so some insulated tape
there to hold the SSD in place otherwise you never know that if you were to drop
the the laptop it could come loose and you could have some problems with that
nd you have to remove this screw now some users on my forum have gone as far
as actually using a dremel tool to cut down the the thread with that screw is
lies completely flat but I just put some tape over on my other model my version
three that I had and just did that so that's easy now the second method as you
could actually just unscrew the screws here and then remove this whole plastic
around there without having to cut or damage that if you later wanted to
return it to its original state now this part I get asked a lot how can you clone
the emmc over to the SSD you've just installed
there's various different programs that can do this but I'm going to use Mac
reom reflect seven and it's free the Home Edition so you just install this
now in the application you need to select this right here which says clone
this disc so find the MMC this is where your windows is installed and here is my
SSD so select that and you've got the SSD there then click Next and we'll
schedule it to clone over so once all that's done you will then have that
version of Windows exact copy of it on your SSD
now this will take a while so you just have to be patient with it
now if you're one of those users that is posted on my forum that hey my SSDs not
showing up I can't actually see it then go along here and make sure it's
formatted especially if it's a new drive you might have to do this so double tap
on the Start menu or right-click with your mouse then go to Disk Management
and in here you want to find the SSD which is right here now I've already got
this here but if it's not showing up you'll have to format it first and I
think you need to actually convert it to a certain type of disk that it'll ask
you to do that and then it should show on Windows then you can clone it over so
hitting escape on boot will take us into the BIOS and if you are lucky and you
have one of the models that has the power limits unlocked if you go here
into advanced and then go along to CPU configuration under power management CPU
power management here you'll see right here we had the power limit 1 enabled so
you want to change that if you want maximum performance do this but it will
of course increase dermals and lower the battery life change that to disabled and
another tweak we can do if you're lucky enough to get a Samsung or the SanDisk
it says Steve sorry the emmc drive and we can go along and to the South cluster
configuration and find this CC configuration and you want to go to this
one here so on my MMC I can't change the seating but if you are one of those
lucky ones put this onto high speed 400 if you get a blue screen then try
high-speed 200 and that will definitely boost up those speeds of that EMC drive
to get it perform a lot better now finally if you have installed that SSD
you're going to go with an SSD make sure you change the boot manager here to boot
manager and then then the serial number or the model of your SSD drive which is
my one right here the transcend so it's going to boot to that first so the
copper heatsink mod if you do plan on running power limits off you don't
really have to do anything unless you plan to
game on it for extended periods that's when it will reach like 90 degrees so
what we want to do here is the easy method cheap and easy method is to place
a thermal pad over this area that will then have contact with the relat
transferring heat to this alloy lid and heating up the bottom of the laptop
quite a bit there all the other method is what I'm going to do now is remove
all these screws so I've now taken off the heatsink and we can see the RAM
chips so we've got two three gigabyte chips they're made by Samsung and here's
the EMC which is a four C brand on my model but as I said before this can vary
you can get SanDisk or Samsung and even Toshiba ones now before we go any
further it's wise to remove the battery the plug at least so we've got no power
going through the circuit board just in case we touch anything around here make
sure you earth yourself as well so using some cleaning solution you can clean the
CPU die up it doesn't really need too much because it just had a thermal pad
on there now I'm gonna go with what I always go with that's a 15 millimeter by
15 millimeter one millimeter thick copper shim I'm gonna place this on the
top here now you'll notice that the size of this maybe even ten by ten might be a
little bit better because of the die these those resistors around the outside
now I have done this more now to a lot of models and after two years of use on
one of them I haven't had any issues so I don't think it's going to short out as
long as it doesn't get too close to any of those components there the shim of
course you'll be fine so I'm gonna put a little bit of thermal paste on here now
there are studies and people done some tests here that more is actually better
than not enough so a little bit of about that amount is going to be okay and then
put the copper shim on the top of that you want to Center this really well so
it doesn't get too close to any of those persisters they're pressed down quite
hard with a bit of pressure on that now you notice that those resistors those
two at the bottom it's reasonably close but I've had a look at this side on and
they're still about a millimeter gap or so so it's not going to touch it
make any contact and short anything out now clean the factory heatsink so just
used to be an alcohol in this part here so here you can see how close the copper
shimmers to those resistors there on the side it hits very close but I mean if
you're not happy with us use a smaller sized shim or don't even do this mod and
now put a little of thermal paste actually quite a bit on the top it
doesn't really matter about that much will do now I'm using Arctic's mx4 but
any normal kind of brand thermal paste will be perfectly fine so carefully
place now the factory copper heatsink on the top now because of the increased
thickness it might be a little bit hard to get this down but that's what we
actually want is that pressure there so that's going to hold but the thermal
paste is going to hold and the pressure that copper shim in place and more
pressure is also going to aid in the transfer of that heat far away from the
chipset now on the top I have used a 17 by 17 millimeter 1/2 millimeter thick
thermal pad here any thicker than this you'll have trouble getting the lid on
so I recommend only one millimeter and then don't forget of course to then plug
in the power now the BIOS may have reset so when you power it on they'll have to
go back here and hit escape and then change the settings back so let's have a
look at temperatures now I've been playing counter-strike for 25 minutes
and I did the same test without the thermal mod and I got up to 84 degrees
and you can see here now that this is really really good look at this 57
degrees on core zero and the maximum I've got up to is 59 degrees so that is
a massive huge difference so it just goes to show you that doing this mod is
actually really worth it on lowering those temperatures and I can see that
the CPU power it has gone out to almost 15 watts so that is way over the stock
limit so you can see there that the power limit is off so do have another
couple of tips here now one of them is to go into the intel control panel for
the graphics go to display and then color settings where i am now
select color blue and just turn that down about 5 points now this is to your
own personal preference of course tweak this but i do find that the defi
calibration of this display is definitely leaning towards the cool
white and just minus five I've noticed is a little bit better they're more
neutral white and not so cool now another couple of things we can do too
is to update the Intel drivers this is pretty much common since most people
know this but a lot of people don't even bother but jump on the Intel website go
and use their drivers support assistant get it to scan for your drivers and then
it'll update your Bluetooth wireless and graphics so make sure you have the
latest there will just keep things running nice and smooth now other things
of course that again common sense trim that is his D Drive another thing that
can help boost performance is to do what I've done here is don't have it been
indexed it also allows files on the strive to have the con decks indexed
apparently disabling this can help speed up before case your random reads and
writes on the drive and one other thing is well to that the speakers aren't very
loud there are some software applications out there like DW audio I
think it's called that can boost a performance you're able to tweak up the
gain on those speakers and increase the volume of them so when you clone the
emmc over to your SSD chances are your SSD will always be bigger because you'll
probably go for 128 gigabyte or 256 gigabyte one you will get this right
here which is unallocated space so you need to go back into Disk Management in
Windows and then if you click on the C Drive here you can extend the volume so
you regain that space there that unallocated space will then be dedicated
to that drive there and then it's all usable or you can partition it into
another partition so that just leaves us now with the e MMC so it's up to you
what you want to do with that of course you could just leave it or you can go
along and just format that and create that as a second Drive where you can
store some of your files on so best of luck there with your own thermal mods if
you do decide to go that path and do that and disable the power limits but
just bear in mind though you don't have to touch the heatsink if you don't want
you can just put a thermal pad on the top that will probably lower
temperatures not 15 degrees but maybe about 7 or 8 or something
like that so it is worth it and if you're going to move over to an SSD it
is also worth it as well especially if you have a 4c brand emmc drive like I
have these ones are slower and when you use the SSD it does feel so much quicker
at boot time shutdown times and things like that overall system performance has
improved quite a lot so this is a great laptop for the price and with these
little tweaks here we can squeeze even more out of it which is good that we
have this option here now if you don't have the power limit there then there's
a software way of doing this as well that just means running an application
which will set a power limit of say 10 watts or you can set even unlimited as
well there so don't worry if your Easi book 3 Pro does not have that sitting
and you want it you do at least have a workaround here so thank you so much for
watching this video and I do hope to see you back in the channel soon bye for now
