Replacing Thermal Paste on Helios 300 G3-571

Ziparray

Hello Everyone,

I'm planning to replace the thermal paste on my Acer Predator Helios 300 G3-571. The question I have is; I want to replace the thermal pads as well but what is the suggested thermal pad thickness for this specific laptop?

For your Predator G3-571 Acer does recommend thermal pads for their GTX-1050 and GTX-1060 but and what I suggest is for you to get a high grade pad like the Thermal Grizzly Carbonaut high-tech carbon thermal pads which are 0.2mm thick and can withstand temperatures of between  -250 °C to +150 °C and they are one of the best, also use the Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut Extreme paste to repaste the CPU/GPU with the “Pea Dot” method where the size of the paste that you apply onto the CPU and GPU is the size of a pea and then you apply the thermal module and screw it down.

@Ziparray if your vram thermal pads arent damaged or you wont damage them on disassembling it theres no need to replace them also i would recommend you to get kryonaut or similar and use the spread method only a thin layer covering both diodes its enough good luck

StevenGen the OP was not asking about replacing the cpu/dgpu thermal paste for thermal pads he is asking about the vram thermal pads i also do not recommend using any thermal pads on any cpu/dgpu its bad really bad they are useless it was tested loads of times including by Linus and the result was  really bad performance and thermal issues  so  kryonaut its the way to go when it comes to repasting either laptops/desktops theres nothing better anywhere

Hey xapim, I think you have misread my post as that is NOT what I was suggesting at all! In the Predator G3-571 thermal pads are placed on top of the VRM sections to make contact and disperse heat onto the thermal module which is listed by Acer as a part number in the Predator G3-571 SG’s for either the GPU of the GTX-1050 or GTX-1060. I also recommended and instructed him how its best to apply the Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut Extreme PASTE only, I never ever suggested that the Thermal Grizzly Carbonaut PADS should be applied directly on top of the CPU or the GPU! I only suggested to replace the Acer OEM pads fitted to the VRM sections with the Thermal Grizzly Carbonaut PADS.

StevenGen sorry if i misread it but when you mentioned the 1050/1060 i tought you were mentioning the diodes not the vram chipsets as the carbonout pads are designed to be applied on cpu's mainly desktops they are not designed for vram chipsets at all the vram chipsets thermal pads are 0.5/1.0mm depending on the models up to 2018 as the 2019 and above use thick thermal paste instead of thermal pads

Cheers as maybe I should have suggested the 0.5 thick pads but I never suggested them to be put on top of either a CPU or GPU as I've never ever used pads to do that ever and I strongly don't recommend that anyone do that at all.
