I would really like to know the Cinebench R23 scores for multi-core and single-core over a 10-minute run. Thank you.
The 10-minute R23 run scored 30500 for multi-core; I didn’t do a single-core test.
If you try using a RAM water block or CPU block and mount it to the heatsink with the laptop’s own case cover, you should see better temps. I run my 13980HX up to 200W and peak at 77 degrees. If you don’t want to solder, you’ll be better off using a RAM water block or direct die CPU block like I did on mine. Keeping good mounting pressure with the pipes is extremely difficult and doesn’t work as well.

Oh hey, thanks for the advice! While I appreciate the suggestion, I still want to keep this setup portable enough to carry in my backpack without external water cooling. For now, this setup suffices, though I can’t undervolt or overclock due to BIOS restrictions. It helps prevent thermal throttling, which was my main goal.
@Sam
I understand wanting to keep it more portable! When I modified my GP 66, it was definitely easier to transport. You could try using a thicker pipe for more surface area or wrapping a thin wire around the heatsink tightly to pull it together. Soldering the heatsink isn’t too difficult with a hot plate and a heat gun, just be careful not to break any heat pipes and wear safety glasses!
@Asher
Thanks for the tips! I’ll look into them.
@Sam
Also, are you using passive cooling with just a bucket of water instead of a radiator and fans? That would explain the limited flow and impact on cooling. Regardless, I hope the project was fun and successful for you!
@Asher
Yes, and thank you for the advice, I’ll consider them!
Or you could just buy a Llano turbo pad.

And play at 65 decibels? Plus, this cost me just 5 dollars. Unfortunately, Llano and similar pads are expensive here.

Finally, someone who understands! I don’t get the hype around Llano.

Who told you to set it to max speed? At the lowest speed, there’s no sound at all and it drops the temperature by 10 degrees. Lol.
@Noel
Okay, you do that. I’m happy with my current setup.
Can I ask how this PC performs? I bought it two days ago and I’m waiting for it to arrive. Does it work well?

The factory application of the liquid metal was not great, but other than that, I am enjoying it. Of course, no laptop is perfect, but it’s pretty good.
@Sam
Which graphics card does it have?

RTX 4080.
It’s not just about the cool watercooling setup, but did you manage to undervolt the CPU in this laptop? The BIOS is locked so I couldn’t figure it out.

I didn’t manage to undervolt it; the BIOS is indeed locked. That’s the main reason I went for this watercooling solution, to prevent thermal throttling since Acer won’t unlock the CPU.

Feel free to DM me if you have more questions!
How did you attach the water cooler to the air cooler?
