Asus G60VX 3 Cooling Mods

Asus G60VX 3 Cooling Mods, The First Mod is the ring mod, it allows air to be picked up from the outside and upward into the notebook. The Second edition to the mods is a stack edition to the main exteriors of the cooling pipes, this draws heat away from the pipes and helps distribute heat from hot spots to the fins for cooling. The Last cooling mod is a tacho mod, this involves clipping the PMW blue wire to the fan for control speed and soldering in a switch accessible from the outside of the case, This allows the fan to be manually turned on to full speed, 3600-5400 RPM reducing idle temps in the upper 30s to low 40s C and 70s at full load.

I guess people don't realize that the big speaker is blocked for a reason. The internal fan draws air from the other opening in the bottom of the case, more specifically right above the memory and graphics card. To effectively cool the unit down better without altering the case is to put a higher RPM fan internally to draw more air. I just bought one online from china for $3.50 that has twice the rpm and cools the unit down by 10C. The thermo paste and pads also help alot too.

@MDCOMPUTERSERVICES I'd agree with you but the hardware results just say different the memory does not get as warm as you think, and the tool I used to check temperatures is graphics dedicated, the results significantly improve this, and cooling down the pipe is much better since copper is a much better conductor of heat then the outside airflow, and although the pipe does not affect the memory it does over all keep the systems core temperatures down.

if you cut that blue wire, what will the max rpm of the fan be?

[Zenodilodon]

@Rspizike 3,600 rpm

I've modified the cooling in my celeron 900 laptop with few simple solutions, first I replaced the thermal pads on the northbridge and cpu heatsink with arctic silver 5 compound (northbridge and cpu share the same heatpipe) and it ran alot cooler, also I went into the settings and changed the fan from off mode to slow mode, now it runs cool to the touch! Then I went ahead and removed a peice of metal that was blocking holes below the system fan :)

@MrTpengineer Arctic silver 5 ... nothing works better!

Why would they make that port and seal it?

@Zenodilodon

theydo when you sand them :p

after1982 the pennies are made of zinc with a copper coating...I dont know if that makes a difference :p

I have g51j-a1 it has the same vid card. I know there was some question on cutting the hole in the case, you would think it helps but then the hole bypasses it pulling air from the processor area. I have horrible temps, 80c just watching this vid throttled down to 1.6ghz and a cooler pad. I have ordered a new heatsink some g60s have a different fan casing, the casing extends all the way to gpu. I will post pictures when the parts come in.

@Zenodilodon yep, I may even change to a pentium 4 HT and water cooling :)
