My fear of doing this is beyond the roof

[OmniNovaTWITCH]

Thank you so much for having the courage to do this and the confidence to share this!

[MrFunnyMint]

how do you know which gpu will be compatible for upgrading? I'm replacing cpu in my laptop but I know which cpu to choose because of the type of socket. How did you found out which gpu to choose?

Im asking because maybe in the future I will do simmilar process of desoldering gpu. I want to upgrade Nvidia geforce 820m

This guy could perform open heart surgery on me and I would trust him implicitly.

Great tutorial, thank you PLASMAMan!!!!

i have a few questions:
1. whats all the flux for?
2. can i do this to upgrade?
3. what socket is a radeon 530 cause i wanna upgrade that on my laptop
4. do i need to remove the mobo from the case?
hope u answer
P.S i have done other things inside my laptop like cleaning, ram upgrade, and inspection. It's a lenovo ideapad 330s 14IKB
Edit: does the gpu have to be pre balled

[urizezucm]

well the submarine tecnique was a surprise, you don´t need too many flux to solder one chip like that one

[devanggupta]

now obviously im not gonna do this myself with my overpriced strix g15. but the concept is fairly simple, heat up soldering insolate surrounding components extract, wait for cooldown, replace/apply soldering. i think this would become mopre popular in the near future im gonna try this (with a proffesional obvio)

[Miden]

Thanks! Not a super fancy lab which is nice to know. Makes the Average Joe feel more confident.
What type of heat gun are you using? would a hairdryer suffice?

[aeleequis]

i have a lenovo thinkpad e590. This laptop can come with a radeon rx 550, but mine came without it. Though the mobo has the sockets for it. if i manage to find all the "missing" parts and modify the bios, would it work? as the motherboard is essentially the same

[frankrode]

Good job! It would be nice if you could show the PC working afterwards too.

[rify]

Can i just buy a new motherboard and install it lol

[AndreAndPetya]

Hii, idk if you still reply to comments on this video but, is there a specific way on how to place your "GPU replacement"? Are there any pins to follow, like which direction are we suppose to fit, turned to which direction? Thank you the amazing video.

[barath.s]

Should we replace the chip of same version or we can use the latest supported one

[j.lietka]

The new GPU chip, is it the same as the one you removed? Can a somewhat faster or better GPU be installed? Thanks

[muratmor]

thanks for the video, i was scared of doing this but i'm relieved right now, you have shown so simple!

[indangr]

Why does it need to be completely covered in flux ? And is it ok to heat that much the new one? I mean, a pc turns off when gpu hits 100 and u heat it to maybe hundreds?

[steliosstamatakis]

Well done!
With this preheater how the board id not warping?Is not distribute the heat evenly..

[c-aryabobade]

My laptop has a place on the motherboard to house a gpu but the model I bought didn't ship with one installed. Can I solder a gpu onto the motherboard?

[gabrielehappy]

Hi dude, nice video, where do u buy a gpu chip? I have same problem with my laptop, 2080 gpu, MSI notebook..

[Spartacus-xk]

As long as it is the same Bus interface pcle 3.0x16 and chip package BGA (FCBGA)908, can it be replaced?EX:nvidia GT640M(BGA908)>>>GTX760M 、
gtx 960m(FCBGA908) or gtx 1050 mobile
