Anyone repasted Predator Helios PH517-52?

Mikelmouse

My Predator Helios PH517-52 hasn't been quite right since it went in for a motherboard repair 18 months ago.

Recently it's started hitting 93degrees C or more on some cores, blue screening etc, so it looks like a re-paste is required.

I'm thinking Thermal Grizzly Kryosheet graphene pad for CPU, and have good 1.0mm and 0.5mm thermal pads for capacitors/Mosfet's, and 13W/mK paste for the GPU.

(I'm not confident about using liquid metal)

Has anyone else repasted their PH517-52, and can point me towards tutorial, video, images, pitfalls etc?

I'm currently using the Conductonaut Extreme liquid metal and the MINUS PAD EXTREME .5mm and 1.0mm pads combinations for the VRAM thermal pads for my Nitro AN515-56 laptop and this combination of liquid metal paste and pads works perfectly to keep the thermal module of the cpu/gpu and VRAM cool with no problems and no liquid metal leakage under the cpu or gpu or onto the surrounding mainboard circuitries, which should be avoided and is the only danger of using liquid metal.

Note: that the Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut Extreme liquid metal paste has an extensive and very detailed guide of how to apply this paste and if you follow the instructions then you should have no problems, its not rocket science😁btw, Liquid metal does reduce temps by at least 10-15C and is allot better than normal paste, I can vouch for that with this laptop. Good luck and use the Thermal Grizzly products as they are excellent, I can vouch for them as I've been using hem for years.
