hi everyone and welcome to another
copper heat sink thermal mod a video
that I should never have to really do if
manufacturers would get things right to
start with so on thier Chuwi lapbook se
what's happening is with some units well
it's the first batch that we're looking
at they've just used like this little
pressure pad here to keep a bit of
pressure on here but really should have
gone with a thermal pad on the top there
so what I'm going to do is put a two
millimeter thermal pad cut it out and
put it just in that space over the top
of where the chipset is and I'm also
going to do a repays they use the
thermal pad now the thermal pad is fine
but might say almost got up to above 85
degrees so just getting a little on the
hot side and if you want to tweak the
power limits or you want maximum
performance then it's advisable to do
this mod here now you can also get away
without actually doing anything if you
don't like use and its performance is
fine to you and you're not comfortable
opening up a laptop then please whatever
you do don't go this far
don't do this mod here in case you might
may break something or ruin it and you
do this all of course at your own risk
now first up is to remove the screws of
course and then just lift this out of
the way that is our heatsink an extra
precautionary step it would also be
before actually doing what I've just
done is to remove the power from this
okay so that's removed I'll give myself
a slap on the hand for that remove the
factory thermal pad which I've done
right now clean up the chipset which
I've already done here with some arctic
clean but you can use alcohol now looks
to me like Chile made some PCB changes
here to the layout where the chipset is
because where it centers is not right
here it's here so that's where the chips
it's going to be so I'm going to do is
use a copper shim this one's 20
millimeters by 20 millimeters but you
really should go with probably 15 by 15
and smaller than there actually to one
millimeter is the thickness that's going
to go right on top here now I know
there's those resistors if you've seen
my other videos there's those resistors
around they're quite close
it could cause a short now you can put
nail polish over the top of that I'm not
going to be that cautious really because
I've done this so many times and I've
never had a problem I've traveled with
the laptops as
long as you put a bit of thermal paste
on there there is a gap of about a
millimeter between those resistors and
this so they're never actually going to
come into contact well they shouldn't
place a non conductive thermal paste on
the top here so I'm going to go with
some in th one this is a reasonably high
quality one but this is not a hundred
watt CPU this is only like a six watt
CPU six point five or ten watt TDP what
are you going to sit later on so it
doesn't really matter too much that it's
super high quality but at least a decent
one so that means that I'm going to use
here I'm gonna put a little bit on here
and I'm gonna split it round to a thin
layer I like to use the begi method you
do whatever method you want and you feel
is the best so my thermal paste is
applied here and yes it's probably too
much but I prefer to be more than there
not enough then place the copper shim
this is 20 millimeters by 20 millimeters
and it is one millimeter thick this is
going to go right on top here now there
are two ways you can go with us you can
either reuse that thermal pad which was
that blue one you can put that back on
top here or I'm gonna go with some
thermal adhesive so that's going to go
on the top a fine layer of that and that
means it's going to glue itself on top
of the factory copper heatsink then
screw in that copper heatsink again now
what I'm doing because I've used the
same adhesive I'm going from one side to
the other like that
diagonally and just go around slowly
tightening them all up until don't over
tighten it though because you could end
up having a bit of a problem without
popping out from the actual PCB but it
shouldn't be too bad that's gonna be a
pro now applying a lot of pressure on
top of that chipset which is good that's
what we want the last step before we
plug in the battery is to remove this
right here and now put a thermal pad on
the top I'm going to go with two
millimeters thickness now remember where
the chipset is located it is not right
there it's more here so that's where I'm
going to place this about there is what
I'm going to do it won't really matter
too much as long as it's going to have
contact now with the back of this metal
which it will putting that now on the
top and I can feel that that is actually
pressing down perhaps two millimeters is
a little too thick actually I can see
actually no with two millimeters it's
clipping
just fine once you put the screws on and
everything that's gonna be applying a
very decent amount of pressure on top of
that chipset but you could possibly go
with the one millimeter I think and
stress testing it just like I did in the
unboxing video the same exact kind of
test so just running Geekbench non-stop
I had windows going on background
updates and things like that
the temperatures are just so much better
so instead of 85 degrees it's now 59
maximum that is a massive difference and
why not I have the power limits now
completely disabled in order to do this
you need to disable it in the BIOS and
then also run this software rewrite
everything method and now it can use all
the power at once the GPU gets the
biggest benefit here so the frame rate
here now this is the half-life standard
half I've lost Coast GPU test and the
frame rate has basically doubled here
yes the temperatures are creeping up a
little bit more but they are still very
good 63 degrees C but of course now it
uses all the power at once this
generates a lot more heat but overall
looking very good we can boost the
performance up here and I highly
recommend this copper heatsink mod if
you want to get the maximum performance
out of this particular laptop but don't
attempt it if you're not comfortable
opening up a laptop you don't have to do
this if you don't intend to game if
you're just doing normal light tasks
then you won't have any problems how it
comes out of the box
