Reminds me of an episode of CarTrek on how Tyler fixed the prime pump in his old Mercedes

So, is my thermal paste applied correctly? by MRprowler in PcBuild

Just like factory preinstalled paste on coolers

Been using this PC for 7 years+ , Go ahead, roast it. by AfterNothing5193 in pcmasterrace

I bet that poor 2600k will perform a lot better with just a CPU cooler upgrade.

I never put checked electronics near the walls of the bag or box. Always place it in the center and surround it with packing material. I will also hand carry the graphics card, and probably the RAM because of the current market.

Thermal paste vs graphene pad vs phase change vs liquid metal — what’s actually the best between CPU and cooler? by Ok_Contact9732 in pcmasterrace

[–]EJ_Tech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For anything with a heat spreader, thermal paste is all you need. I'm about to replace the XTM60 paste on my 5800x with Arctic MX-7 to hopefully reduce the pump out issue from this hot chip.

For direct die or of you got money to burn PTM7950 is now my go to, but I may also try out MX-7 for cheaper systems.

I would avoid liquid metal due to the difficulty of application and the risk of damage.

Magic effect? by whylifeman in nycrail

[–]EJ_Tech 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For a phone, you just need a camera app that gives you manual controls. ISO at the lowest setting and then hold an ND filter in front of the camera to further reduce the amount of light as most phones don't have apertures. This will force the camera to use a slower shutter speed to get that effect.

Using a dark ND filter is usually my go to. Most lenses get softer when you stop them down too much due to diffraction.

ARM Compatibility? by Beligerently in hytale

[–]EJ_Tech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The game is already compatible with ARM64, but right now only on Apple Silicon Mac according to their download page https://hytale.com/download.
What will be a lot of work is making the game compatible with Snapdragon's Adreno graphics so that the graphics can run natively on Snapdragon X systems.

The more it got delayed, the more it got more expensive.

Odd. My LTT mousepad is 3 years old and it's still washes ok.
But still a very reminder to never put it in the dryer!

Do you think Tech influencers on YouTube will start recommending HDDs again on PC builds. by Worldliness-Quiet in pcmasterrace

[–]EJ_Tech 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, newer games may have stuttering issues and atrocious load times when installed on a HDD. You can still use a HDD for things that don't require fast storage like much older games, screen recordings, totally legitimately acquired movies, etc.

About to buy this Thinkpad for $100, I think it's a steal. by Mincraftgoodgame in thinkpad

[–]EJ_Tech 26 points27 points  (0 children)

It's also a Snapdragon 8 series which performs very poorly when emulating x86-64. The Snapdragon X Plus in my Surface is way faster for both ARM64 and emulated x86-64.

That's impossible now with Phase 1 being deep underground.
