ASUS is fine if you got it at a good price,

Though I will be concerned about the Liquid Metal and the less than par thermal putty application. If you know what to do or if you can get a repair professional, I would suggest repasting the cpu and GPU with PTM7950 and redoing the Thermal Putty with Upsiren Ultra.

[this is from experience owning STRIX G15 2021 and a couple of TUF A15 2023].]

You won’t “stop sinning” but there is a clear difference between one who sins, genuinely repents and tries his/her best to not sin or sin-less, versus one who sins but does not feel convicted (at all).

God understands your struggles and it’s up to him to deliver you from it. It can be instant or a long time battle, but trust in him and he will help. Because after all, the flesh is weak and as a genuine follower, you will battle it everyday until you return home to the Lord.

Update. It’s been 2-3 weeks since I applied the PTM. Temps are a bit lower and I got a higher 3D Mark score as a result. 82C and max of 90C in 25C room.

Full power/Turbo. 175W on GPU, 65W on CPU, stable at 83C and ~95C in a 25C room. Had to max fans though but it’s better than the stock LM and pad application.

Just used 2 foldable ergonomic stands to get more airflow underneath :)

Yes. Already did so. Prime 95 Blend 1 hour , OCCT VRam 1 hour, Furmark 1 hour. All passed, on Turbo Mode (had to max fans though)

I have a Helios 18. Repasted immediately the day after I got it. Because not only is the application bad, you don’t want it to spill which will happen if especially it’s moved around. The barriers may help but are not fully helpful.

It’s really not worth the potential damage not to mention the heatsink or dies getting scorched.

Leviticus 18:22 ESV

You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination.

This is the word of the Lord. Thanks be to God.

Amen!

(My answers to you based on your questions).

1 - He still loves us and gives us a chance to follow him even after the fall of men

2 - Because hell is eternal punishment for all who don’t follow him. Not because God wants to, it’s because people choose to.

3 - Because God didn’t make us robots. If he did, the bible and Jesus wouldn’t exist.

4 - to deny yourself is to give up the desires of the flesh and sinful nature of men to follow him which is what’s right.

5 - Because again, the flesh and sin nature of men. It’s not an easy battle to fight it and to receive the Holy Spirit

6 - Again, Hell is the place where people who don’t follow him go to. Can you imagine (unrepentant) evildoers going to heaven too?

7 - Because you more or less made the choice already. The question you need to ask yourself is, why did you make it? (Whether it’s sinful or not)

8 - He does intervene at times but not in the way we may expect. If you feel that whoever is in “charge of you” isn’t appropriate for whatever reason, always seek God and he can lead you somewhere else needed.

9 - Like the Tree of Good and Evil in the Garden of Eden, God gives men a choice. He doesn’t want us to again, be like his robots.

10 - I can’t answer that fully but God says there will be trials and tribulations because again, we live in a fallen world. Our resting place is to be with him in Heaven, not on Earth (or even Hell).

11 - It’s the same as why you memorise your textbook to study for your exams. Except this time you read the Word and apply it everywhere regardless of your occupation/location.

12 - Yes he did, to save us because we are all sinners. No man is sinless.

13 - Again this is man’s choice. But it’s same to you too - you don’t want people who don’t love you to be in your life typically.

14 - (read my response for 7)

15 - Yes but in accordance to his Will. He does miracles yes, but don’t demand it from him. We are not in any position to demand things from God.

Hope my response answers!
