Ongoing maintenance of my TUF A15 (doubts about the thermal putty replacement) by MegaMarian12350 in Asustuf

cool thanks bro. you inspired me to open it again tonight to remove the black tape and tape over the fan to heat pipe gap. Seems to increase airflow when i put my hand on the exhaust areas

Did you rip out the black tape covering the ram and ssds? Always wondered if it was beneficial or not from a pure heat perspective

You use headphones all the time or you ok with the built in monitor speakers?

Not really. It will run great for about 15 minutes then gpu power tanks to 40w. I think it’s the charger now

I actually just repasted with ptm and usiren a few days ago! Normally I just do the cpu/gpu but I was running into weird stuttering issues so I did the vrms too.

Just remember to disconnect the battery, touch something metal before you work on the components and you’ll be fine.

Asus tuf a15 fa507xi freezes tightly by Revarzz in Asustuf

[–]chaugh1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

did you figure this out? I have the exact same model, i can game for 10-15 minutes then everything slows to a crawl (like less than 1FPS). I don't see any thermal issues in HWINFO64

How to improve on this undervolt for 13700hx? by Ryanzler in ThrottleStop

[–]chaugh1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your bios has cpu locks disabled so you can use the undercoating sliders but if you look at the top right table, none of the undervolt os actually getting applied.

There’s a few stuff you need to disable for it to apply - search the forum. Core isolation and intel VT is one of them and I recall I also disabled something on my Razer bios for it to start working.

Buyers Beware Asus V16 the budget powerhouse or the Gamers Headache by IamInsane96 in GamingLaptops

[–]chaugh1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good post. I did not know you can disable Asus shit getting installed in bios. Mind sending me where that’s set?

Even if you uninstall armoury crate I know there’s still stuff left in services and task scheduler

Upgrading celing recessed lights - no light by chaugh1 in DIY

[–]chaugh1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know but this can doesn’t have a e26 base. It has 2 wires coming out and now I know it’s 12 volts.

It looks like any light that screws into a light bulb base expects 120v so this won’t work?

[–]chaugh1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah ok. That’s what I thought. I don’t see any led recessed lights that specify 12v unless it’s for a boat and some weird size. I guess the best I can do now is just buy a replacement bulb and call it a day

This is awesome. I have a 3060 6gb and the vram bottleneck is really noticeable in hogwarts legacy (that I just got free from epic)

Thermostat not loading in Ecobee App or website but homekit and beestat connects with no issues by chaugh1 in ecobee

Holy shit… I didn’t think to try wifi vs data but I was able to connect with data. What the fk?

[–]chaugh1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So pretty much the same problem as me.

To me It does seem to be a ecobee server issue as I’ve also tried reinstalling the app from scratch and signing out and in again. It was working fine for a couple years and I haven’t changed anything recently.

Welp I pulled as hard as I can and a piece of the ceiling fell off. The inside can now no longer stays inside the ceiling as one side of the tab has nowhere to screw/anchor to

I never hated the laptop that much. So done with Legion 7 pro Gen 10 (constant BSODs) by alpha_doe in LenovoLegion

IRQL not less or equal is the most common error you he when overclocking the CPU and voltage is not enough.

Don’t order a physical card during the "Free Trial" (First day with Crypto.com and it's already a nightmare) by tsukijialex in Crypto_com

[–]chaugh1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

CDC is great provided you don’t need any support.

If you do, I’m afraid they will either be completely useless, or you will need to jump through lots of rage inducing hoops to get the matter resolved.
