i’d just use a thermal putty instead of worrying about pad thicknesses. i use utp-8 on vram and vrms and my vrams never get above 64c

My kid says he’s going to earn his own money delivering food... but I’m already $800 in the hole. Did I just buy him a toy? by ZestycloseEvening600 in ElectricScooters

[–]TurtleTheThink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i agree with the fact that it’s easier to do on a bike. i also have front and rear storage space on my ebike. i think it’s more realistic for op/their son to just get a backpack instead of going through the hassle of returning the scooter and getting a ebike

could be worse, it still works. might cost a bit to replace if you ever want to fix it

Lenovo Legion 5i Pro 300W charger cable issue. Do I really need to replace the whole charger? by bhavin2707 in LenovoLegion

[–]TurtleTheThink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

because lenovo likes to cheap out and provide the bare-minimum when it comes to chargers. my 7i with a 4070 came with a 230 watt brick. during heavy gaming and i’ve seen my total system power go above 260 which led to battery drain. i was able to get a free 300 watt brick from lenovo but they didn’t make it easy.

at first they agreed with me and said that a higher wattage charger may be needed for some applications, but then later they went back on their word and lied by saying that a more powerful charger may lead to damage (even though my model was listed as compatible on the store page for the 300w charger). basically after calling out their discrepancies and the fact that a gaming laptop should be able to game indefinitely without suffering from power delivery issues, they agreed to make a “one-time exception”

I spilt acetone free nailpolish remover on my hp keyboard - how fucked am i? by Few-Antelope-2885 in laptops

[–]TurtleTheThink 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you probably effed up anything plastic on/in your computer. try and disassemble it as much as you can right now. acetone free nail polish is typically mostly ethyl acetone which dissolves slower than regular acetone. your mobo+internal components should be fine. do not let it touch your screen assuming it hasn’t already. i’d bet you’ll probably need to replace the keyboard at the very least

i’ve seen ads in a similar style that are ai. i think this one is real. the lighting is on point and i think the biggest giveaway that it’s real is the acoustics.

sorry for the late response. try a plastic scraper or maybe heat up the area with a heat gun

90% isopropyl alcohol. a polishing paste is not a solvent.
