you should contact teclast and share your modification so that the manufacturer can fix it right away on their production lines.

Thank you so much for these videos. I'm seriously considering one of these, and all of this info is EXTREMELY useful.

that Simpsons video on your site (not your video) only showed 62°C and I wondered what you were complaining about...

Love this video. love to see people not afraid to mod gear!

GREAT WORK buddy ! I was actually discussing yesterday with my brother, regarding the extra copper plates for cooling, that it should help to lower the temperatures around 20°C. And I was not wrong :D great work and thank you for the video

[MorkusReX]

Great, but the video would be better if you wouldn't skip the part where you actually doing the steps instead of skipping to the moment after you finish the step.
For example, it would be nice how much of the Thermal Adhesive you put there and so on..

But great video nevertheless !

Appreciate the information. Been shopping for an upgrade for the Venue 8 Android. This, with Dual Boot and cooling upgrade should do the trick.

[PotmeHunt]

Great work man! I hope the other tests will also have better results and will be on lower temps.

You can use a real thin spatula putty knife, like from a big box hardware store. I used that on my old systems and had I known I could have opened my Vizio 22" tv/monitor from Dell that had issues with the way they put the case together, pressing it would cause the tv screen to work fine, otherwise it had static on the screen every few seconds. Sadly I recycled it but they gave me a better 24" LED monitor as a replacement.

Has lowering the CPU temperature made any measurable difference to battery life?

Chris, I have seen this video very late but wanted to add my comment. I have done the same thing to my Teclast X98 Air 3G tablet. It reduced the temp about 15 C in idle and 20 C in throttle. I used 1.5 mm thick thermal pad between the back panel and that metal case on the cpu. and it was still fine and no pressure to the screen. As addition, my thermal pad was quite big (almost X2 than you used in the video) I also used 1.2 mm thick heatsink for cpu and just a standard thermal paste silver color. Thanks for the great video. It will help and propably already helped a lot of people.

depending on what material the metal tape is, it could be EMI shielding. which is quite impressive to see on such a cheap tablet!

[gobletoffireable]

great mod! could try one like this on my own tablet

[meolive]

I'm trying to do the same with my 8" Dell 5855 which also has a Z8500. Unfortunately in Dell's case they provided NO rear plate at all, the ONLY cooling is the RF shield! So I guess the only solution is going to involve modifying the rear cover, probably by cutting an ugly hole to accommodate a thin copper heatsink that I'll have to mount on the RF shield.

Can't believe they were able to fit a quad core CPU on such a small die!

[OrjanA]

Thanks for an excellent mod guide! I didn't see or hear clearly if you put anything in between the CPU and the copper shims? Would it be a good idea to put a bit of thermal paste in between to glue the shims to the CPU and make it stay there really well?

[Maetrei]

What are the precautions one must follow if they aren't unsoldering the battery?

[TapthatNzTablets]

I am waiting for a 8-9 inch cherry trail, or m-core, with 4gb. But the heat issue with gaming on a tablet is a constant issue. Hopefully someone will do a how to for copper thermal cooling for whatever that tablet happens to be when it comes out. Also cheers for the work you do man.

[noes]

Chris, great mod! Planning on doing this myself when my X98 Pro arrives. I was looking into getting some copper plates and thermal pads. I was wondering about the thickness. What did you use? 1.0 or 1.2MM thick for the CPU

[KiwiShamoo]

Could've put two thermal pads side by side on top of the sheild?
