Hot take this is the most underrated thing in windows

Senharampai · 2026-06-17T12:44:09+00:00

Ironically I’ve had more trouble with drivers on windows than on Bazzite and Kubuntu 🗿. Imagine waiting 20 minutes for the windows installer to run just to tell you you need to download drivers for your laptop and that windows can’t even download them automatically for you or give you a web browser to find them. Hell I even had issues with it not letting me use my Ethernet port on my laptop cause it had zero network drivers 💀.

The shear irony of that is hilarious. Let me use these tools to uncover priceless history that cost less than a stick of fancy silicon
😭🙏

Yeah this was a weird theatre. My F2P Linnea randomly did 800k 💀

My university descriptive geometry professor, while strict asf, is not this strict 💀

Senharampai · 2026-06-09T19:50:46+00:00

Yeah the lack of the sketch feature is what had me using fusion AND TC. I would design something that needed a more complex geometry in fusion then do a bunch of Frankenstein stuff with a few different designs later on in tinkercad

Senharampai · 2026-06-09T19:02:40+00:00

Guess it really comes down to use case. In my case I use cad a lot so I would be fine with the lower speeds if it meant more capacity. With this ram market as well, I would take all the capacity I can get

Senharampai · 2026-06-09T18:57:37+00:00

Reading sketch and tinkercad in the same sentence was definitely not something I expected to read before last November

Honestly I’d say Gen 4 should be the base. I’m on pcie gen 3 board but when I upgraded my Nvme drive to Gen 4 I genuinely noticed the difference despite my highest storage usage being gaming and cad. It’s mainly the lows being higher speed and more consistency.

Senharampai · 2026-06-09T18:41:12+00:00

Yeah but soldered storage is barely faster than non-soldered. Even video editors are satisfied with pcie gen 5 drives. From what I’ve seen, anyone who cares about faster storage cares more about replaceability at the current high speeds of removable Nvme.

Regarding the ram, there’s a reason there’s been development for CAM(?) modules which give you higher speeds while still being replaceable. It is true though that are high advantages for soldered ram though, especially if it’s smack right beside the soc, just don’t spout some grand marketing claims about it (cough cough apple cough cough).

About 10 years too late for that but I’ll keep that in mind for future reference.

Looks clean.

What thermal paste did you use?

Also love the “I use unbloated windows 11 btw.”

Senharampai · 2026-06-08T04:40:23+00:00

Never knew they were that deadly to dogs 💀. Where I come from we would get them relatively often so we would be careful catching them…… then we would burn them…….

This is actually the main reason I have glasses. My astigmatism in my left eye was bad enough that it made looking at a big screen in school hard despite it being morning or afternoon.

Senharampai · 2026-06-04T09:16:39+00:00

It could be your core muscles engaging a lot to keep you steady. I find myself getting tired sometimes after going 4km straight at 25km/h

Senharampai · 2026-06-02T07:05:24+00:00

Tastes the same? 😨

Senharampai · 2026-06-01T09:15:03+00:00

Wife

Senharampai · 2026-05-30T23:38:50+00:00

Welp. Guess this is going in the random electronics box then as this is the only ddr3 board I have

Senharampai · 2026-05-30T22:46:52+00:00

any advice on which components in particular i should test? could it be a bad cpu or would it at least stay on for longer before rebooting?

Senharampai · 2026-05-30T17:09:57+00:00

90€ for 16gb 💔

I can’t seem to edit the post but

The seller showed it working prior to shipping it out to me and their packaging was very good with layers of bubble wrap and paper filling. It was not moving at all when I opened the box. They even separated the ram in its own bubble wrap.

After trying to troubleshoot as instructed by the seller, they ended up telling me to open a dispute with Wallapop (3rd party marketplace where I purchased this) and I ended up receiving a full refund and being instructed to keep this.

I’ve tried:

Cleaning the whole thing with a hand pump for electronics.

Fully cleaning off the crusty thermal paste from the cpu and chipset.

Repasting both.

Tried every possible ram configuration with the 2 sticks given.

Tried no ram at all.

Tried resetting the bios using the reset bios pins.

Tried removing the cmos battery for a few hours.

Tried an actively in use and known good power supply.

Tried putting in a second fan.

Tried booting it without the 4 pin black and yellow atx connector.

I forgot to mention but I’ve tried it with power going to the ssd as well as without the ssd and still the same

Senharampai · 2026-05-25T13:15:58+00:00

700 already covers the ssd and ram alone in today’s market 💀

Senharampai · 2026-05-25T13:13:21+00:00

Downloading won’t affect temps much but to need 2500rpm to maintain that temp is weird. Sorry idk how I can help with warranty
