kiddingguy Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 (edited) I have a 2,5 old year Asus N750JV notebook. This notebook turns really hot (mobo and CPU above 75-80 degrees in Speccy). The location where this is, is in the picture left-above (where the power connector is inserted in the notebook). Is this the CPU/GPU location? Or something else? What can be done as to lower this 'thingy' down in temperature...? Hardware have I not changed a thing since the beginning, despite adding a second HDD (SDD) to my system from the start. All latest updates and BIOS are installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sc302 Veteran Posted July 25, 2016 Veteran Share Posted July 25, 2016 heat causes: -dried up thermal paste/grease. This doesn't allow proper heat transfer to heat sink -processes tying up more system resources causing the processor to be used more -fans no longer as efficient as new -gunked up heat sync fins An option is to get a cool pad. https://www.cdw.com/shop/products/Thermaltake-Massive23-LX-notebook-stand-with-2-ports-USB-hub-and-cooling/2566974.aspx?cm_cat=GoogleBase&cm_ite=2566974&cm_pla=NA-NA-TET_MC&cm_ven=acquirgy&ef_id=V31p8QAAAe2-bmzP:20160725200543:s&gclid=CjwKEAjw8da8BRDssvyH8uPEgnoSJABJmwYoHDKPGy9BTvPtXB2J66ixBJAqGiIlhB8RMUGhSOkXthoCoOnw_wcB&s_kwcid=AL!4223!3!61836302899!!!g!89080445097! They do work, but don't expect them to replace your internal cooling...it only supplements, adding more air flow around your laptop.

chrisj1968 Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 (edited) this is what I use for common every day use. with 4, 140mm fans, laptop cooler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiddingguy Posted July 25, 2016 Author Share Posted July 25, 2016 I just compressed-air the fans. Hope this helps. Otherwise, I'll be looking at some cooling pads. Great idea of you guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noig Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Hi Kiddingguy I have the same laptop and seem to have an overheating problem. The fans are going frequently without much of stuff being open or worked with. Have you ever replaced the CPU cooling connection paste? Have you had any problems doing this? Would be nice to hear if/what? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello Bruinator I can't say that my n750jv has been running hot for all the time. It started approx a year ago(at 4years) and then I brought it to a PC outfit for a cleaning incl CPU paste replacement. It was a special they offered. Not sure how well they did it. It did improve, but not hugely. Now the CPU gets hot reasonably quickly just with lots of tabs open in the browser. I have replaced the fans as a first without improvement. Now I am seriously thinking about replacing the CPU contact paste. I got the paste here though forgot to get the cleaning alcohol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noig Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 (edited) Here is the job the PC shop did. To me it seems they have used a bit too much paste. Does anyone know if the paste behind tat clear(and coloured) film can be removed or if it could be the culprit for heating up too quickly? It is a semi soft foil and I'm scared of peeling it off.

Jim K Global Moderator Posted June 17, 2018 Global Moderator Share Posted June 17, 2018 That "film" is just a thermal pad ... I wouldn't worry about nor would I remove it. The spread on the paste looks fine ... though unknown brand. You could always, since you have it cracked open, clean it up the paste and apply some Arctic Silver or some other known brand...using the spread method. Plenty of videos on YouTube with respect to applying thermal grease on notebook CPUs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noig Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 Thanks a lot Jim, very much appreciated.? I just haven't done this before, so a bit hesitant though feel better now to move on and do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noig Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 (edited) The laptops are still alive? Thanks for being able to post here! Either it is a good machine or I wasn't any good in my searches. So very happy this thread wasn't closed yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This should be a positive sign about the machine(hopefully). Done the replacement of the paste and it seems to be better.
