Hello everyone and Welcome to HowFixit
In this video I gonna show you how to disassemble the Asus Zenbook UX430 laptop, clean it from
dust and replace thermal paste.
To disassemble Asus UX430U you will need next tools:
Phillips 1 screwdriver Torx T5 screwdriver
Plastic tool Tweezers
Thermal grease Antistatic brush
In the description, I’ll leave links where to buy all the necessary tools.
Turn the laptop over and remove all the screws on the bottom cover.
Also remove 2 screws that are hidden under the rubber legs.
Next, take a plastic tool and begin to open the case of laptop.
I recommend using a plastic tool so as not to damage the laptop case when opening.
Disconnect the battery cable from the motherboard.
Disconnect the fan cable and remove the screws.
Remove all screws on the radiator.
Pay attention to the order of removing the screws; I recommend unscrewing in the indicated
order.
Now you can remove cooling system by lifting up from the motherboard.
Remove all dust from the fan and radiator.
Next, remove the old thermal paste from the surface of the radiator, as well as from the
CPU and GPU.
If thermal grease is very dry and doesn't rub well, you can use isopropyl alcohol.
How to apply thermal grease.
Apply a small amount of thermal paste to the processor, then take a plastic tool and spread
it evenly over the entire surface of the chip.
If you still don’t know which thermal grease to choose, in the description, I left a link
to the video where I test different thermal greases and choose the best one for
the laptop.
Now you can
install the cooling system and tighten all the screws.
Please notice: how I tighten the screws on the radiator.
It is necessary to tighten the screws evenly on each side, a few turns of each screw.
If you tighten the screw immediately and completely, there is a chance that you may damage the
processor chip.
If your laptop is still overheating after cleaning and replacing the thermal grease,
I recommend watching a video about the cooling pad for the laptop, or how to undervolting
CPU and GPU to reduce heat and increase laptop performance.
