Changing thermal past and Cleaning the Fan. Model: acer predator 300 G3-571

Hi guys,

I would like to take advice and tips from people who have changed the thermal past and cleaned the fans. What important stuff should i know during the process? What videos helped you the most ? Did you face any issues like Power or Battery issues or even fan issues?  Is Thermal Grizzly kryonaut good for the change?.  I am asking these questions because some people faced battery issues and fan issues in some youtube comments and I am worried that changing the thermal paste and cleaning the fans would cause problems to me.

You can watch video about disassembly your laptop. It will help you to prevent from damaging the cover or the motherboard. Disconnect the battery and the charger after you have gotten inside. If the fans have small screws around, you can take those out and gain access cleaning the blades. For the thermal paste application, you can do a small dot for the CPU (the one that has no ICs) and small x for the GPU.

speedykiller199 it’s a simple job if you do it properly and all components work 100%? As and if you have components that don’t work, then opening your laptop and resecuring it won’t fix them like allot of these guys just blame everything and anything on particular situations as most of them don't know what they are doing!

My advice to you is this, as I’ve done this at least a thousand times or more before, btw, make sure that the fans do not make a noise and/or seem like the blades touching the side casing before opening the laptop to repaste as and if that is the case? The fans have tobe replaced! 

Open your laptop up as required and instructed by Acer, IMPORTANT >>> wear an anti-static wrist band and have all the appropriate tools to open and take out components, take the heat sink and fan assembly off and get a brush and clean the fans from all debris and dust, make sure that the fans are functioning 100% and have no bearing and/or are not touching and/or making a noise, if they do change them (they are pretty cheap) then and make sure that you clean the old CPU and GPU paste off the CPU and GPU’s and the heat sink with 99.99% alcohol, then apply the NEW Kryonaut paste using the “Pea Dot Method” and resecure the CPU and GPU heatsink and reassemble the laptop. That’s it and you’re done it’s a pretty simple job if done correctly. See these captions below as this is part of what you have to do.

Thanks Anh and Steven for help and advice. About the fans, Should dissemble the fan as a whole piece with heat sink because i have seen some people do that? Should i get anti-static wrist band because i don't have that in my region, i heard you can remove static Charge by touching metal grounding or wearing fabric shoes? Can you recommend me a youtube video as a professional for people who are beginners? And thanks.

Also Should i remove the Secondary SSD in the slot because i have one that has some system files even though It is not the main c/Drive and i am worried this could corrupt the system or get blue screen ?
