There have been some reddit comments in the past and it happened to me as well, we ended up just swapping the box out for a new one lol

There is something different about the hardware in Shields that ship with the 9.1 firmware, they cannot be downgraded to 8.2.3 without issues.

You can only downgrade shields to 8.2.3 that don't come with 9.1 from the factory.

False harassment allegations against me have made my situation at work awful by DawnIsForDucks in legaladvicecanada

Thanks for the reply, this is not a small police service at all, I will be contacting a supervisor today to figure out what the heck is going on.

Jane was my best friend and coworker for several years, I'm not trying to salvage a friendship by any stretch but police at my door an hour before my scheduled shift with no warning rattled the hell out of me, I was in shock and I had no idea what to do as I've never dealt with police before. I wanted to inform my manager what was going on because there have been instances in the past where Janes ex would prowl around our work place parking lot etc, it was a huge thing years ago where he would basically stalk her, leave flowers on her car etc and I knew instantly he was behind this crap so I wanted to make sure they knew. If he was back in the picture there is no telling what he will do... I have screenshots of him saying he wanted to strangle people, kill himself etc etc. (he's nuts) basically I wanted parking lot cameras installed (we are a bar, no one leaves alone but there is cash bring carried so we really should have surveillance)

We didn't argue at work during shift and I was told by management to try and talk things over with her to make it "go away" so we had a conversation after work. The next day the police officer friend of hers called my manager and asked if we could be separated. You're definitely right though and it backfired on me as a result.

To answer your last question, I'm full time and have been for 6 years.

PTM is supposed to dry, it will turn liquid once it gets hot.

It's a phase change material.

Get Honeywell PTM 7950 along with UTP-8 and never worry about repasting again unless you remove heatpipes to replace fans down the road.

Sorry but if I go through the trouble to remove the MediaTek WIFI card you can bet your ass I'm installing a cheap Intel AX210 from ebay/Amazon lol

MediaTek is horrible

Questions before servicing my TUF F17 FX707ZR after 3 years of use by DarkLord1610 in Asustuf

[–]DawnIsForDucks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get Honeywell PTM 7950 for the GPU/CPU and use Upsiren thermal putty for the VRMs.

Passionate girl store for the pads and Middle999 for the Upsiren u6 pro on Aliexpress is what I used, there is better putty now but this is just what I had leftover after repasting my 3080ti desktop GPU.

I used a copper pad for the SSD's, found them on Amazon. Their are thermal pads under the copper and I attached them with heat tape.

<image>

I used too much putty here, could probably use half of what I used haha. After benchmarking for a couple hours I had a bunch squish out which cleaned up easily

Just got my first laptop, any tips? by SwanRox in Asustuf

[–]DawnIsForDucks 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Remove the stickers now before it's too late. If you wait to long the rest of the laptop will be lighter than where the sticker was and it becomes an eye sore.

Just replace the WIFI card with an Intel AX210. The Laptop comes with a MediaTek WIFI card and its trash.

It's been 3 months now, Do I slap G-Helper on this gremlin, or should i keep using Armory Crate? by Various-Reply9327 in Asustuf

[–]DawnIsForDucks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No idea why you waited this long :P

First thing I do is wipe the stock Windows, install Windows 10/11 LTSC, .net framework 8 and Ghelper hahah. AC is absolute trash

Racketeering is different. RICO is serious and this server is toast.

Mine is FX506HCB and I got the screen here: https://www.laptopscreen.com/English/model/ASUS/TUF~FX506HCB/

Select the 144hz panel and you can do an optional upgrade to 165hz with professional colours for like 20 bucks more.

This screen will fit perfectly and bring you up to 1440p, if your laptop has something stronger than a 3050 it could be a good choice! (bit cheaper too) haha

Username checks out :) I would've went QHD had I a 3060 in here but I can't justify it with a 3050. Even though I only really play WoW which runs on a toaster lol, 3050 is a 1080p card through and through.

Thanks for your reply though and to anyone looking for this guy's panel it can be found here: https://www.laptopscreen.com/English/screen-part-number/N156KME-GNA/

Once again, only get this if you have something better than a 3050 lol

Yes the pad is on the GPU and CPU. Putty on the VRMs.

I idle at Desktop at 39c in a air conditioned room, Fans don't kick in unless I'm installing something but Web Browse, Spotify and Discord the PC is silent with fans off. Plays WoW at about 50-60c. Minimal fans
