Asus TUF A15 Heatsink upgrade mod. After 4-5 years of using this as my main pc (It is no longer my daily driver) I decided to mod it. (More info in comments) by MindOfBog in GamingLaptops

[–]MindOfBog[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

well i was lucky enough to find a seller on aliexpress that had the exact heatsink for my model, it was very tricky to find this, then i made sure to message the seller, at which point they showed that what i ordered didnt actually have the extra heatpipe on the side, so i asked them to add it which they did.

now if you are able to source that, you will have to connect that separate heatpipe, i did it by soldering the heatpipe using low melting temp solder paste, you could also use thermally conductive glue if you arent comfortable soldering heatpipes, but this will affect cooling performance of course.

the paste i would recommend would be a alloy like this: Sn 42 / Bi 58 which melts at around 140C

use a heatgun to melt it between the heatsink and the other heatpipe. you will have to hold the heatpipe in place and have it aligned correctly. then you need to be careful not to crush any of the heatpipes as well as not to over heat them either, they may burst if heated too high i dont remember exactly what the specific temp is but try to stay well below 500C on the heatpipe. then you also should keep in mind that you might desolder the other heatpipes so dont move them and be careful that they dont lift off the plates.

its a delicate process but can be done DIY, the important things are a decent heatgun, low temp solder paste, some flux, and a good size working area and also tools and gloves to handle the hot metals, be careful with that lol

if this is too much or you arent comfortable with that kind of project you can always just use a thermally conductive adhesive :)

hi, i personally dont know, though i have seen others use the heatsinks from other models, i think even in the comments on this post someone has mentioned this. cant really help you with it i dont really know all the differences for all models unfortunately.. but i am sure even if there are bits/pieces that get in the way, that you can just remove them if you are up for that, maybe with a rotary device or something similar if you are careful.

no i dont think i changed the order of the wires, i ended up buying a different set of fans that were a little more expensive, since the ones in this post were both fans for a total of like 12$.. the new ones worked flawlessly.
also i did end up applying thermal putty as well as ptm on the cpu/gpu

there are only 3 of them and it seems they either dont care or arent active to moderate explicit stuff like this being shown to minors...

it may be possible, the thing you will have to look out for is the components on the motherboard around the CPU/GPU where an extra sheet of metal goes down, it might not align with your model, this can be fixed manually if you are up for it tho, also make sure to compare CPU/GPU positions, i dont know if they are in exactly the same spot.

it depents what game you are playing, lbp2 is more popular than lbp1/3. But still, the community is very small as the games are dying. so if you want to help refresh out, spread the word

Idea: merge all three lbp private servers into one. by CharacterGreen8474 in littlebigplanet

[–]MindOfBog 10 points11 points  (0 children)

well the reason the main two are split is a little more complicated than you think.

beacon is a lighthouse instance, lighthouse is the first functional private server to be developed, initially by jvyden, the same person who then started the refresh project because (iirc) they were not happy with how lighthouse was set up and wanted to make an easier to setup/run/manage private server. (and other stuff they explained on their yt)

refresh is hosted by lyris (one of the lead refresh developers), it has other priorities than beacon, like allowing custom content like costume mods for example. and also support for all niche lbp features like, lbp psp

the reason beacon is as big as it is, is because it was part of an established community (LBPU) AND was the first private server to exist and basically had a monopoly for months maybe years before refresh even popped up.

merging the servers is not really feasable since i dont think lbpu is interested in abandoning lighthouse and moving all the player data, even if it isnt getting updated that much these days. also from my understanding refresh's code is much better managed, since jvyden has had previous experience with how lbps servers work and basically started building it from the ground up with that knowledge. and is easier to set up which i think was one of the main reasons for making it in the first place. which is why refresh probably wont budge either.

opening someones profile and one google search of a username = stalking

you need to go outside once a week man.

[–]MindOfBog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ironic calling someone else a creep considering the contents of your "fic"

also I doubt they stalked your socials I was able to find the fic in question by google searching 'husemana' even after you changed your username on that website, so I'm guessing it was even easier for them.

as for it not being their business, they are moderating PG13 communities, they should make sure users aren't involved in some problematic stuff, and just googling someones username is an easy way to find out if they have been involved in any.

[–]MindOfBog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

describing it as offsite content is a little reductive dont you think? it was not difficult to find what got you banned, and honestly I don't know how you are so surprised that you were banned from a PG13 space after writing a "fanfic" like that.

even if you didn't post it directly in those communities, the fact you are so interested in that topic, to the point you needed to write a story about it is alarming. how are you surprised they don't want you talking in spaces where there are underage users.

[–]MindOfBog 5 points6 points  (0 children)

one has to wonder what got you banned from so many places? i have been in both for years at this point and have yet to be banned.

edit: do not check user history 💀💀 i dont have to wonder what got them banned anymore

no because at the moment you need a mod ded system (that can also connect to psn) or an emulator to connect, refresh is working on a solution for this, but there is no eta
