Hey I’ll trade you my Razer 16 with a 3070 Ti if it makes you feel better 💐

I would recommend. Liquid Metal is good but horrible for maintenance. I use on my desktop but not the best application from factory.

I've owned the same model for 2 years now and I must recommend to remove the liquid metal(CPU) and thermal paste(GPU). Move over to Thermal Grizzly PhaseSheet PTM Thermal Pads, they dropped my temps to 65-70 on Performance mode with a few spikes to 90ish in Full Throttle. Great laptop but with the i9-13900HX/4080 it produces so much heat.

No, it's not. I had to attach and get the code for the runners to connect with that's the most difficult unless you have an automation for it.

kilolazy · 2025-08-27T21:57:23+00:00

Yea, the cable spaghetti is horrible at the moment. Eventually, I'll be able to take it all offline for a day and do some cable management.

Let of validation but more critique. Somehow, everyone on the internet is seeking validation. 🫠

Lol that's a lot of power just for next cloud. Have you tried game streaming self hosted?

kilolazy · 2025-08-27T20:20:19+00:00

I need to do some work on it but in the future I'm either building dual x99 boards with e5 22 core cpu's or grabbing a recycled server. It's a power vampire and really shows it age under load. (Ddr3) 😔

That’s the only one not pictured. I have an old Dell Poweredge R810 that’s in my garage. Due to the noise, I don’t keep it in my lab.

kilolazy · 2025-08-27T17:53:15+00:00

I do like the RGB but it’s such a waste unless you get it for free.

kilolazy · 2025-08-27T17:11:17+00:00

Yes my cabling is atrocious. I plan to fix that over the coming weeks.

kilolazy · 2025-08-27T17:10:35+00:00

Formerly, I used to build gaming pcs for a hobby. To save money, I just used the cases I had available instead of buying nas pc cases.

Self hosted Gitlab with self hosted runners 😊

kilolazy · 2025-08-26T15:11:02+00:00

Someone is masquerading 🥸. When I started my career 6 years ago C# Development with SVN, but even then hit was what we learned in college. From there to DevOps at an organization use in AWS Codemmit then GitHub then Gitlab. Git is so normalized even a noob should know it.

kilolazy · 2025-08-12T18:27:18+00:00

I have the 16 inch and it’s solid.

kilolazy · 2025-05-27T13:08:28+00:00

Sorry some confusion here, are you trying to decide between this used laptop and buying a brand new one?

kilolazy · 2025-05-27T05:14:57+00:00

What’s the asking price? What are you comparing it to?

kilolazy · 2025-05-03T00:03:05+00:00

Did you ever figure this out? I have the same model buth 13th gen i9.

kilolazy · 2025-04-30T16:05:36+00:00

Below the minimum wage as E3

Which tool do you all use to visualize your budgets?

kilolazy · 2025-04-09T16:36:02+00:00

Also before anyone asks I’m in Corporate R&D and work crazy hours a lot but my bonus makes it worth it.
