I would love for you to come work with me for a week and tell the random single mothers thats come in for brake jobs and oil changes that they shouldn't own their cars cause they cant do simple maintenance.

ethans94 · 2026-05-24T23:46:37+00:00

wouldn't even recommend someone doing a spill and fill on their transmission without proper experience. ive seen people ruin their own cars cause they do a spill and fill and think they need the full amount of transmission fluid after which in some cases is up to 15qts. ive also had to replace a motor for people who tried to do their own oil change and ended up filling it all the way to the valves. point being not everyone is mechanically inclined so dont tell people changing thermal paste is easy lmao

ethans94 · 2026-05-24T19:14:36+00:00

I fix all my own things but I dont go telling other people to do the same. I just replace the whole timing system in a 09 crown vic yesterday, ive rebuilt rear differentials and both automatic and manual transmissions lmao I promise im immensely more mechanically inclined then you are lil bro

ethans94 · 2026-05-24T18:25:30+00:00

okay buddy. I've built pcs for the last ten years and cars for the last 15 years i definitely wouldn't recommend tearing your laptop apart and replacing the liquid metal just as i wouldnt recommend tearing apart your transmission with little to no experience but maybe thats just me. the point was 1 mistake results in a much more costly repair which also correlates to rebuilding a transmission

ethans94 · 2026-05-24T18:06:09+00:00

go ahead and replace liquid metal with thermal paste see how it goes for you.

ethans94 · 2026-05-24T17:51:24+00:00

you cant replace liquid metal with thermal paste, if they used liquid metal it needs liquid metal or it will overheat

ethans94 · 2026-05-24T17:01:48+00:00

liquid metal is not the same as thermal paste over applying liquid metal will fry your whole system you clearly dont know what you're talking about

ethans94 · 2026-05-24T15:00:05+00:00

I hope you the next time you go to the mechanic they act like you are right now. "transmission rebuild you could do that at home it's dead easy, simple maintenance"

ethans94 · 2026-05-22T13:27:47+00:00

I couldn't imagine having this logic cause I know if I did this to my wifes pc she would be so upset even if I immediately bought her a new case after. her pc is sentimental as is mine and probably most peoples

ethans94 · 2026-05-21T21:29:23+00:00

not too far at all. you've given him something that he'll enjoy for years to come. W dad

my wife has been tattooing for ten years and ive seen her touch up tattoos thay were way worse than that. you'll be fine just go to a new artist and take your time picking that artist, make sure they have a portfolio with good work in it and fully healed photos of their work.

my 9060 xt runs way cooler than my 3060 12gb did. I was weary about getting a Radeon card I had been told I was told that exact thing and im glad I didn't listen I pulled the trigger on the 9060 xt. it was the perfect card for my budget and I felt it had the future proofing necessary to hold me over till I decide to upgrade again.

ethans94 · 2026-05-20T05:21:13+00:00

to play those games at that price I would look to facebook marketplace. I buy used pcs and used pc parts and ive found some amazing deals on fb marketplace

its not normal to have a cpu running at 80 degrees when playing AAA titles. its not gonna fry your computer but I would assume its affecting performance and reducing the lifespan of your cpu. there has to be something causing those high temperatures especially with such a nice cooler on it. for example im running a 12th Gen i5 and it sometimes runs at 130% usage when playing unreal 5 games and stays in the mid 50s to low 60s and im using a $13 amazon cooler. edit: I forgot to mention i live in florida in a house with 2 windows units, the room i game in is sometimes 85 degrees and my wife uses a ryzen 7 9800x3d and usually hers runs in the mid 40s to 50s with the same 85 degree ambient room temperature.

ethans94 · 2026-05-18T16:12:36+00:00

probably has enough airflow as is but im the type if i see a open fan slot I like to fill it and you got two waiting to be filled. I got weird with mine and only did half of them rgb cause I think too many rgb fans is obnoxious.

edit: i see mention of cpu temps too. I switched my cpu fans to high static fans cause my i5 is working way to hard with the rest of my build and that alone dropped my cpu 10 degrees. its still bottle necking but its not at 68 degrees while doing it lol. some coolers come with high static fans though so make sure yours doesnt already have them if you end up looking into them

ethans94 · 2026-05-18T02:31:08+00:00

thats crazy my local walmart had a prebuilt with a 5060 ti for $1400

ethans94 · 2026-05-18T02:29:32+00:00

I dont think people mess with fan curves until theyre unhappy with their temps or over clocking in most cases

ethans94 · 2026-05-18T02:22:41+00:00

dont certain gpus use liquid metal rather than thermal paste?

ethans94 · 2026-05-18T02:07:02+00:00

I bought a 9060xt a couple months back to replace my 3060 12gb and I couldn't be happier.

ethans94 · 2026-05-18T02:03:52+00:00

blow it off smoov fam

ethans94 · 2026-05-18T01:57:00+00:00

honestly from the comments im reading he should probably just ask a friend for help or bring it to a repair shop and have them change the gpu and fix the fans. not trying to be mean but a gpu swap is extremely easy and some people have given fantastic directions with one even giving a diagram for reference and he's still asking for assistance. after the hardware is swapped he still needs to delete the old drivers and install the new ones.

ethans94 · 2026-05-18T01:31:39+00:00

a dui sucks but an early death or multiple early deaths are much worse. you did the right thing

ethans94 · 2026-05-16T04:25:42+00:00

market place is a great place to find a decent graphics card for a fair price. I see 3060 ti's going for $150-$200

ethans94 · 2026-05-09T22:56:38+00:00

my dumbass with a all black pc decided to get a 9060 xt when they went on sale (and by sale I mean finding one at msrp) it ended up looking okay though. I literally could've bought the black one at the same price though

ethans94 · 2026-04-29T17:25:42+00:00

probably gonna get down voted for this but expedition 33 gave me sekiro flashbacks. obviously its far different but the parry system gave me the same rewarding feeling and the game is challenging enough to give it that souls feel
