    • Using a T6 Torx screwdriver, remove the thirteen 10mm T6 Torx backplate screws.

    • Apply gentle pressure when removing the screws to preserve the condition of screw heads for future repairs or servicing.

    • After the screws are removed, carefully insert a plastic spudger in the space between the backplate and the rim of the laptop.

    • Apply moderate pressure upwards to disconnect the clips that hold the backplate in place.

    • The sharp popping sound that the latches on the inside will produce is normal and does not signify anything being broken.

    • While some force will be required in this step, make sure not to over-apply pressure since extra force might break the metal latches.

    • Lift the backplate away from the laptop.

    • Remove the thermal pad that covers the SSD.

    • Using a Phillips #2 screwdriver, remove the screws that hold the fan assembly in place.

    • Seven 5.5mm Phillips #2 screws securing the center area are spring-loaded and require moderate pressure on the screwdriver to initiate the removal.

    • Three 7.5mm Phillips #2 screws.

    • Disconnect the fan wires by pulling on the connector while pushing on its sides with the spudger.

    • These connectors are extremely fragile. Make sure to not use any metal tools during this and the following steps.

    • You can leave the wires plugged in since their length allows the removal of the fan assembly while connected. This step just makes the process of further steps more manageable.

    • Lift the fan assembly and place it on the battery, bottom-up.

    • Use a lint-free cloth to remove the thermal paste from both the CPU and GPU chips.

    • Use of a Q-tip soaked in isopropyl alcohol can assist in removing the paste from hard to reach spaces.

    • Remove the old thermal pads from the power supply chips.

    • Degrease the surface of CPU and GPU chips using the isopropyl alcohol and Q tips.

    • Place a small amount of thermal paste on both CPU and GPU chips.

    • Use a spreader to thinly spread the paste on the entire area of each chip.

    • Consult the How to Apply Thermal Paste guide for additional instructions if necessary.

    • Using calipers or a precision ruler, measure the dimensions of all the power supply chips.

    • Cut the thermal pad sheet according to the measurements and place the pieces on top of the chips.

    • Use 1-1.5 mm thermal pad thickness on grey chips.

    • Use 2-2,5 mm thermal pad thickness on the 8 flat chips.

    • Try to check the thickness of the original pads. If 2-2,5 mm thermal pads are too thick, you may need to use thinner pads.

    • After the paste and pads have been applied, make sure that every chip is covered in accordance with the illustration.

    • Carefully pick up the fan assembly and place it back, aligning the position with screw holes.

    • Using a Phillips #2 screwdriver, secure the fan assembly in place.

    • The seven 5.5mm Phillips #2 screws are spring-loaded and require moderate pressure to screw in.

    • Three 7.5mm Phillips #2 screws.

    • Make sure to alternate between sides while securing the fan assembly. Securing all screws in one area before going to the opposite one may lead to an uneven pressure during assembly that may displace the thermal paste.

    • Reconnect the fan wires by clicking them into the receptors.

    • Place the SSD thermal pad back.

    • Unlike the pads on the power supply chips, this pad does not experience much heat and does not need to be replaced as often.

Beware!!!

I followed this guide and my GPU temperatures shot up dramatically. Opening the laptop back up, I noticed very visible indentations in the thicker (in my case 2mm) thermal pads. That and the fact that screwing the heatsink back on was noticeably harder after putting in the 2mm heat pads leads me to believe that they are in fact too thick, possibly creating a gap or at least insufficient contact between the heatsink and GPU. I replaced the 2mm ones with 1mm, thus using the same thickness on all components, and I’m back to normal temperatures.

TL;DR: be careful with the thicker (2-2.5mm) thermal pads, they made my GPU overheat. Using 1mm ones on all components worked perfectly. Try checking the stock thermal pads’ thickness

I made an edit to the relevant step of the guide, but it is unverified for now as I don’t have enough reputation.

Thanks for the input, I hope you found this guide helpful. The acceptable width depends on how soft/flexible the pads used are, so it varies slightly in each individual case. The manufacturer uses some kind of soft and foamy ones which are thick and very malleable, so its hard to match the exact thickness needed.

I have this laptop and i changed the thermal pads wth cooper shims and now i get a little bit better performance, but it bothers me how bad are the fans. i need to lube them every 4 months (my laptop is on day and night) because they start to make noise and i already bought replacements with same thing.

Regarding the SSD thermal pad... i dont think is accurate to said that it doesn't experience so much heat. i hagve two Samsung 970 2TB SSDs and the main one it shuts out even to 70 degress, is no cool at all.
