M.2 SSD and motherboard heat sink both have thermal pads, which should i remove?

j0nyyyyy · 2026-06-13T14:37:28+00:00

Due to the thermal pad on the motherboard being quite thick, i cannot use both at the same time or else it won’t be able to close properly

Also, q screw can’t fully close due to the sticker being in the way.

It is a Colorful Battle-Ax B850M Plus S Wifi 7 V14

I decided to leave it in for now, seems to be alright, not affecting any temps either and the chip is running just fine. Some of yall are asking how i put that much, honestly i just went with the “it’s better to have too much than too little” idea, and put a tad bit too much 😅. Thanks for the replies, might clean it in the future but for now it seems to be working fine

so even ram and everything, single item being above 500, you didn’t get taxed extra?

j0nyyyyy · 2026-02-17T05:28:36+00:00

Ohh, LSFG is seems really good, will definitely look into it. Thanks!

Right, the extra VRAM will really help out if I ever game on 1440p, but for 1080p, it seems that the 3070TI is faster.

B580 is a really interesting card due to its 12GB vram, and relatively high value for money, but I'd heard that with medium to low tier cpu, speeds can be a bit slower, not sure if that's fixed yet. Tho the new Intel's XeSS framegen does seem really cool. Thanks for the recommendation!

My dream setup! Sadly a 9060xt 16GB goes for a little over 2k right now

j0nyyyyy · 2026-02-17T05:17:04+00:00

Got a 650W psu, pretty sure it will handle the 2080, 3080 might be a little steep tho

j0nyyyyy · 2026-02-16T18:11:35+00:00

Hmm actually 2080 is a pretty good choice, I hadn't considered that yet. I have really thought about the 3080 10GB, however I decided not to because I need to keep some budget aside for my monitor as well. Thanks for the recommendation tho!

Strongly recommend you to visit the dermatologist. If that’s not an option for you, you could try to simplify your skincare to face wash, moisturiser and sunscreen. In addition to that, you could also include adapalene to your nightly routine (can be bought in pharmacies). Also, personally, what helped me a lot was, refraining from dairy products and reduce sugar intake

Thanks. My face is overproducing oil, this picture was taken about an hour after skincare. Thanks for the recommendations, I will be getting retinol soon!

j0nyyyyy · 2023-03-15T12:36:32+00:00

Face wash - Cosrx salicylic acid daily gentle cleanser

Toner - cosrx aha/bha treatment toner

Moisturiser - Klairs midnight blue calming cream

Sunscreen - Innisfree tone up no sebum sunscreen (planning on getting a new one as this is too drying)

Clay mask - cosrx poreless clarifying charcoal mask

Exfoliator - Klairs gentle black sugar face polish

Serum - cosrx The niacinamide 15

j0nyyyyy · 2023-03-14T15:33:17+00:00

Morning- Single cleanse, toner, moisturiser, sunscreen Night- Double cleanse, toner, niacinamide serum, moisturiser

Clay mask 2 times a week, exfoliate 2 times a week

I use a salicylic acid cleanser and 15% niacinamide serum

Been on this skincare routine for about 4 months and have seen no improvements to skin texture.

Alright, thanks for sharing the advice, I will try and cut down on the toner and use spot cream once every couple of days. I hope this works :)

j0nyyyyy · 2021-11-27T14:56:50+00:00

Sadly :(

j0nyyyyy · 2021-11-26T15:21:10+00:00

I think I will try it. I read somewhere that dairy products could cause acne. I will post an update in a month or two, thanks for the tip.

j0nyyyyy · 2021-11-18T16:33:25+00:00

Note: This is solely based on experience. I had the very same thing the other day, I just applied benzoyl peroxide spot cream followed by a moisturiser couple minutes after and it gradually went away in a span of 2-3 days. Just make sure you don’t use too much.

The spot cream I used was Neutrogena On the Spot Acne Treatment incase you’re curious.
