HP 15-db0015dx Fan and Heat Sink Replacement

Introduzione

This is a guide on how to replace the Fan and Heat Sink in the HP 15-db0015dx laptop. Use this guide to replace or upgrade the fan and heat sink. You may need to upgrade or replace the fan and heat sink if the computer is running too hot, smoking, making excessive noise during compute-intensive operations, or under-performing.

In replacing the heatsink, you will need to separate it from the CPU, which will require a cleaning and reapplication of the thermal paste. See this Thermal Paste Application guide for details on how to replace your thermal paste correctly to maintain proper thermal conductivity. Old thermal paste can cause issues with heat uptake by the heatsink, so just by replacing this thermal paste, you may notice better heat mitigation performance from your device.

Hey great guide! Just a quick question: is the material directly under the copper pipe (on the CPU side) also thermal paste which needs to be swapped out? Or is ist a static part of the fan/pipe/CPU cover? Thanks in advance!

It's best to remove the material on both the CPU side and the attached fan side.
