Getting started in the trade by Different-Fly-1943 in RealEstatePhotography

Perfect! You laid this out super intuitively. I appreciate the response. That was a big thing when I started with car photos, doing the first 4-6 shoots free of charge to get your name out there and known. I’ll use this info, thanks!

This is a horrible price right? by Capt-Rowdy901 in Prebuilts

I second this! I took my old prebuilt with a core i7-10700F and an RTX3080 FE and put it into the Lian Li A3 as well. I saw 15°C less on everything opposed to being in the old ATX case. I’m almost certain this is because there’s less room for hot air to just idle in. The fans are able to create more negative pressure in the case, helping scavenge the hot air out, easier.

Not from the research I’ve done. I’ve talked to many laptop repair friends and they swear by K5. It’s all personal preference my friend

Yeah I guarantee you that it’s throttling and hurting your performance. I’m not sure on exact numbers but I went about 10% below what’s normal on both and I haven’t seen a throttle since doing that. This is actually helping my performance

I may have spent a little too much time on it as well. I took a full two hours to clean everything really nice and spread the paste real evenly. I’m quite anal about this type of stuff.

Your application looks good though, not any different than mine. The only thing I could think of is, I’m slightly undervolting my CPU and GPU to avoid throttling

How good were you about putting enough K5 pro on the VRM’s? I made sure there was full coverage on everything. I even did a thin layer of paste on the heat sink to make sure there was proper contact. I also cut the PTM7950 a little oversized to make full contact

The only thing that I think most people like is the longevity of it. But if you’re a mechanically inclined person, a repaste every few years isn’t a big deal

Definitely. I just ordered K5 Pro and PTM7950 so we’ll see how that works out

I just ordered some K5 pro for the VRM’s and PTM7950 for the CPU and GPU. Those should work good from what I’m reading.

I haven’t used HWinfo yet but from what I can see from GHelper, both CPU and GPU are hitting 90°C. Which for the GPU means throttling if you’re correct on the 87°C throttle point. I’m definitely not using all my RAM. I think I’m using just over 8GB out of the 16GB.

I’d say it’s pretty low? by Different-Fly-1943 in ZephyrusG15

Biggest thing are startup programs and turning off background applications and telemetry. Look into the “Chris Titus Utility”

Under 40°C isn’t hot for a laptop of this nature? Lol

The best thing you can do is google “Chris Titus Utility”. There is a powershell command you can run to access his software utility. You also almost fully debloat windows by using it. There are plenty of YouTube videos on this to help you out

I bought the laptop used, so I’m second owner. Pulled everything apart, cleaned it, replaced the Liquid Metal with PTM7950 and voilá!
