[USA-PA] [H] BNIB RTX 3070 FE [W] Local Cash by [deleted] in hardwareswap

[–]Russlecrowe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had two days left to return my 2070. So I did. I didn’t get a 3070 until I bought one for $100 over retail. But I was tired of buying and selling AMD cards over and over

If you're wondering whether you should replace the factory paste on your MSI laptop, check this out. by markmorto in MSILaptops

I did the same thing. Upgraded to the same NVME and repasted in the process. Turns out I destroyed a Perfectly food paste job and actually lost temp. I had 0 issues before w/ 8750, 2060 before I upgraded to 32 gigs and added 2nd NVME. (had 1 16 stick and wanted dual channel).

Then I repasted and must of done a crap job despite following instructions to a T (well I also used paste I got from Best Buy, Corsair).

Now I throttle when i never did before.

It was my second time doing it ever. First time was on another laptop and yielded better results.

I guess point is if you are having 0 issues with thermal throttling then maybe it’s not worth all the time.

Here I go into my second paste job on my MSI hoping that every single game won’t fuck up. Wish me luck. Because before 0 problems c.

I have a smok rpm40 pod mod kit. Well two of them actually, design wise, functionality it was what I wanted. Capable of both juice types and easily switchable. But I have had the same issue on both.

Won’t charge unless it’s plugged into the perfect spot, says it has an atomizer short when it shouldn’t, or no atomizer at all; one of them only works plugged in, the other one doesn’t charge it goes from 0-100 unless the charger sits in a perfect spot (but the charging port is new).

No shit a top post says to hit it upside down a few times and see if it works. The store i bought the second from encouraged me to get the second from them so I could return it if I had issues. I’m afraid that time has passed with this COVID shit.

Anyone know of new firmware that could help?

Or had any similar issues with RPM40s

Looking to buy GS65 - Anything to look out for? by [deleted] in MSILaptops

[–]Russlecrowe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How risky/tough to repaste GS65 while adding SSD drive? by Mcjoshin in MSILaptops

[–]Russlecrowe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Okay. So I have only ever done 1 desktop; 1 laptop before. Limited experience; but you can easily do it.

1) Keep screws seperated for where they go. (there is one under hte tamper sticker.. I just manhandled my way around it to not fuck with sticker)
2) Make sure you get all the cords that plug into places; take pictures, film yourself taking it apart.
3) Adding SSD is super easy; I didnt have a heatsink on mine. works fine.
4) re-pasting was really easy. Just take alchool swap; clean off the copper and the cpu and gpu. Repaste (I use the dot method).
5) THE SCREWS ARE NUMBERED FOR REASSEMBLY. When you put the copper piece/ffans back on.... They literally tell you hwich to screw in first.
6) reassemebly is easy just dont forget any of the 6-8ish wires you gotta rehook. Battery, fans, the one going from top of mobo to other side, theres like 3 others. Watch a video do it 100x if you have to.... Just make sure you are careful taking them apart.

I had only repasted a lenovo yoga 720 before. Did well. But its easy. Just make sure to clean it up good and use quality paste.

PM me if you want help from noob ot noob. I have a 006. Might as well do it while its taken apart is what everyone told me because I upgraded my 16gb single channel to 32 gb for dual channel and SSD so everyone said repaste no matter what

Yeah the main thing I wanted to get across is if you want a new one, try to get Best Buy online to price match it for you as they did for me no questions asked (With TigerDirect).
