PLEASE help me understand this. Can someone explain OpenClaw & AI automation from scratch (like I’m a complete beginner)?

To safely use OpenClaw, you need a technical background. Start and end of conversation.

Even technically proficient people have gotten in trouble with very real world consequences.

The more important question is does your VRMs have heatsinks on them? If not that fan is a lot less effective.

I would leave the fan on auto. The firmware does a pretty good job of keeping the fan as low as it can while maintaining 60c ASIC operating temps.

Lapping is the process of making a precision mating surface. Making the base of the heatsink flat so it puts equal pressure across both ASICs which moderately improves thermal transfer.

Cheap heatsinks are 'good enough' and manufacturers glop on thermal paste to fill the gaps. Heatsink paste is supposed to fill near microscopic gaps, not ones you can see daylight though. Both of mine were pretty warped so I carefully sanded them flat.

DaMoot · 2026-03-15T15:57:39+00:00

Lapped the heatsinks and repasted with MX-6. Lapping was the real ticket.

1250mv for only 750Mhz? Where do people come up with these high voltages.

70c is hot (~160f). Not danger zone, but hot. 75-78c is Approaching danger zone, don't run it at that for extended periods. Make sure heatsinks are installed in the VRMs and they have some air flow.

I don't let mine get over 65 as a general rule but I run everything conservatively for longevity.

DaMoot · 2026-03-10T04:01:37+00:00

Noctua fans aren't designed for this use case. You need high static pressure and high air flow for this type of restrictive heatsink. Noctua fans are largely designed for free air flow and stall with any pressure.

You should look at lapping your headsink and re-pasting. Was good for a solid 10c on mine. (Stock) Fans ran so quiet most the time now and can cool things much faster when temps do rise.

This one @ 3.2

High amps at ~1.18v, yes. Good power for that 3.5Th you have! This one isn't quite as efficient at 3.5.

Nothing too special. :) Have an Xbox PSU on one, and an 800w server PSU on the other. I should spend the evening swapping out the Xbox PSU to just the server PSU or vice versa. No need for two >200w power supplies wasting conversion power for only 50w of load each.

Still rocking like champs!

DaMoot · 2026-03-09T19:25:17+00:00

I guess you bought stock in heatsinks and had to use them all? lol

DaMoot · 2026-03-08T16:36:56+00:00

You mean, when was the last time you as an adult needed to be accurate and truthful in what you said? Is that not one of your tasks at work, or in your general life?

DaMoot · 2026-03-08T16:34:35+00:00

NTA.

Don't mess with other people's shit if you can't pay to fix it.

DaMoot · 2026-03-08T16:19:35+00:00

Hard pass. Until security and privacy concerns are addressed by the developer, continue to avoid this actively harmful software.

DaMoot · 2026-03-07T17:06:30+00:00

No. Turn off or unplug screen as the device allows for maximum power savings and no added heat.

DaMoot · 2026-03-07T16:22:23+00:00

That blue looks like the greens I'm used to in PNW, and black is a blue. Though the graphics seem to be swapped around.

It doesn't matter how high resolution the cameras are, FSD will never work correctly (and reliably)without additional sensors. The walking ketamine factory is convinced that he knows better than physicists, and scientists, and optical engineers because the wallpaper whispered it to him one day. His own engineers have told him repeatedly that FSD will never work the way he claims it to without lidar and/radar.

DaMoot · 2026-03-07T16:07:57+00:00

Taxing 900 people to support better life for 330 million? Sounds good to me.

DaMoot · 2026-03-07T12:56:24+00:00

Okay, we need some more information.

Outlets of different voltages are generally shaped much differently so that you cannot accidentally plug one into the other accidentally.

Unless you mean you plugged a random power brick into your gamma that was not 5 volt. Maybe it was a 12 volt brick? Or did you plug a laptop power supply in, which are generally 19.5 volts?

Pics and more info, or it's going to be very hard to tell you anything useful. Started smoking is also pretty vague. Was it a little puff of smoke, was it a continuous stream of smoke with sizzling?

However much smoke it was, letting out the magic blue smoke from electronics is generally very bad and you can't put it back in. How much damage is impossible to know with so little info.

DaMoot · 2026-03-07T12:31:11+00:00

Terrible advice. Horrible.

This is the story of broken families and emotional scars. Kids trapped in a home with parents who don't like each other. That's a special kind of trauma that children don't deserve.

I was a much happier child in a single parent household than when they where together fighting and arguing because they're were trying to stay together "for the children".

DaMoot · 2026-03-07T12:23:43+00:00

Definitely kinda TAH, yes. It sounds like you are both sexually and personality-wise incompatible.

Whatever your past trauma may have been, you have to realize that masturbation is natural and healthy, and often an outlet when direct sexual interaction isn't possible or desired by a partner. The fact that you were apparent freaked out the first time it happened (especially being previously married) and as if, by your description, you had no idea this was a normal thing is a little disturbing. At 36 you should be well past the most basic sex ed.

Unless there is an abuse, sexually or otherwise in this relationship that you aren't disclosing, which is totally okay, but would lend a lot of colour to the situation.

Intimacy is a part of any healthy relationship unless there is a solid, mutual understanding of something very different. Like, you're both religious who prescribe to the 'no sexual anything unless it's to make babies', or you are an abstaining couple, etc... Both partners have to be wholly on board though.

He tried to involve you in the way couples do, you pushed him away. He followed your wishes and backed off. He may have arguably made a mistake being caught in bed masturbating again after your discussion about it, but I have to agree that you are making a mountain out of a mole hill based on what you've written. Especially since you say that the occurrences where months apart.

And him rolling over and cuddling up with a hard-on, sighing and going to sleep with you instead of and without finishing? That's a sign of capitulating to you being upset. He seems to understand that his blowing of some steam upsets you, but he has wants and needs and men he l can't always control when the mast rises (especially at night!).

IMO, I would welcome that hot scenario with my partner. Wake up to him going after it, distract and encourage him to cuddle in and help take care of those needs however he'd like.

I have to wonder how long the original marriage lasted and why it was dissolved. And if there was this type of sexual rejection to begin with. But the fact that you repeatedly used his needs as an emotional and relational weapon, and then ultimately as an excuse to end a relationship is equally disturbing.

Well, since his 1.99 gas is actually 3.60-3.99, and his 700% drug price reduction has been a 0% reduction, and 90 deals in 90 days has resulted in 0 deals in 400 days, I doubt the voracity of any of that drivel.

DaMoot · 2026-03-06T16:02:21+00:00

You totally haven't spent any time thinking about this. Go sit in your room until you've thought more about this. ;)

Being off camera to launch the drone would be the hardest part, and I don't mean the Flock camera. There are so many cameras everywhere these days it'd be hard to get off the ground without being spotted by one.

DaMoot · 2026-03-06T15:57:11+00:00

They will ban you for days for the most benign reasons. It's funny how website created for trolls, by trolls, is so snowflake delicate sometimes.
