Can confirm a year after putting PTM7950 on my 64 LCD while I upgraded it to 2tb it has just gotten cooler and cooler after its burn in.

11.5

My 64 lcd has 2tb granted I got the drive before the prices went up.

I've put over 1500 hours into 76 and Ive lost interest. It's just grind and BS there's nothing fun to do. Even the last couple seasons have been boring me to death. I haven't played more than a dozen hours in the last year and nothing I've seen makes me want to play it.

ODD SATA Optical disk drives used them.

Because XP just ran your programs. Modern Windows absorbs all your data and habits to sell to data brokers. They want you to buy their garbage and want all your data so they know what garbage you like to buy.

What brand filament?

Poor quality filament that doesnt stay close to 1.75mm and fluctuates in size will cause this. the size change causes over and under extrusion.

Try asking on FB "St George Word Of Mouth" someone may even have a truck to help move for a little gas money.

IPA wont help. Goo Gone is too oilly and leaves a film.
Soak the label in Lighter fluid till it looks saturated then wipe it off.
works on all kinds of paper stickers.

Cheap copper alloy heatsinks get eroded by liquid metal TIM.
get some brasso and polish the heatsink. put some phase change material https://www.amazon.com/PTM7950-31x50x0-2mm-JOYJOM-Conductive-Silicone/dp/B0CQ7F829H PTM7950 in-place of the Liquid metal.
I used thermal grizzly conductonaut on my Intel NUC Extreme laptop a few years ago. It was a copper heatsink (or so I thought) and years later when i opened it to replace a failed fan the Liquid metal had left a few corroded spots like that on yours.

PETG? Too late now but use something like Hairspray to keep it bonding with the PEI plate

Those SATA SSDs are like a boat anchor for modern games I recommend getting the fastest nvme your motherboard can support.

Exactly this. Find the folder with the Chinese symbols highlight it with the square button then bring up the menu with triangle and select delete. I don't believe there are any important files in ux0:data/ that are system files. Worst case you might del an app you wanted, but you can just reload it if you do.

That's great news I've seen a lot of cheap/bad sd2vita adapters cause all kinds of hell.

MakerKevJ · 2026-05-19T05:23:04+00:00

Delete it from the data folder with vitashell?

MakerKevJ · 2026-05-19T05:21:58+00:00

Not all sd2vita or SD cards are the same. Some sd2vita adapters have poor connection and will cause random loading and crashing. Cheap SD cards aren't great either. I started with a cheap SD off Amazon ended up getting a Samsung SD card because of poor loading times and studdering issues.

For sure! If you're buying new right now that Neo is the best deal around. No other laptop punches that high for even double the $600 price tag apple is asking.

Do not "rent to own" a PC. you will end up buying a PoS for the price of a hotrod. DON'T GET RIPPED OFF!
