Gigabyte G5 KF 2023 (RTX 4060) Teardown, RAM upgrade, second NVMe SSD install and thermal repaste
A bit of a different than my usual videos but I couldn't resist to share this.
Recently got the Gigabyte G5 KF, despite of all the negative reviews. The laptop is great for it's price (RTX 4060 in a laptop at this price?!), it simply just has had a very bad thermal paste job done to it which after correcting works very well.
In this video I quickly go over the teardown of the laptop, upgrading the RAM and adding a second m.2 SSD, as well showcasing the bad thermal paste job that it had before I replaced it.
Default specs of the Gigabyte G5 KF are as follows:
i5-12500H
15.6 IPS, FHD 144Hz,
2x8GB DDR4
512GB SSD Gen4
nVIDIA RTX 4060 8GB GDDR6
I replaced the RAM to 2x16GB DDR4 3200MHZ G-Skill RipJaws
and added a second m.2 1TB SSD.
After which I repasted the thermal paste of the CPU and GPU and made some tweaks with ThrottleStop and both the CPU and GPU temps have improved immensely.
Do this at your decision and choice, this video is not to encourage you to do this for your laptop! But a showcase of what I decided to do to alleviate the issues I personally experienced during the time with this particular laptop.
You take full responsibility for your own actions, should you wish to try this yourself.
NOTE: As of September 2023 I am no longer using this laptop.
