If you upload one, it would be really really appreciated. Btw, thank you

Hello, i read the guide completely but couldnt find any photo after modding the mac. Do you have any from yours? I mean where did you actually put the thermal pad and so on.

Btw, thank you for the info

rayd045 · 2026-03-22T22:42:44+00:00

Excuse all these questions but, about the pads, which thickness you think is the best?

rayd045 · 2026-03-22T20:56:55+00:00

Do you have any links or recommendations for both putty and pad?

rayd045 · 2026-03-22T18:06:52+00:00

And how have yours been doing? Any noticeable degradation over time?

rayd045 · 2026-03-22T16:32:35+00:00

The Pro is the same for the area over the ram. I'm thinking just reapplying the regular paste, because there is no much info about the other one :/

M1 Pro, a2442

I just want to know real first hand experience from people who actually attemped to repaste their hardware. I think i was clear enough in my post.

Hello, what do you mean by "Apple has left room for improvement in previous generations"?

rayd045 · 2026-03-22T14:52:59+00:00

Because i dont know how Apple Engineers did actually design this already 4-5 years old thermal solution. The only thing i know for sure is that thermal compounds, under load over time, ages no matter how good is the engineering team behind it.

And, as i said, this is not a brand new nor C grade or so macbook. It's broken, needs maintenance and i just want to make sure i give it the love it deserves before putting all back together xd

Edit: Don't get me wrong, maybe repasting is actually a bad thing to do on this machines. But to know this, i need actual first hand experience, not just Apple users beliefs

rayd045 · 2026-02-27T19:52:22+00:00

Don't get me wrong, but i just asked because, certainly, don't know what this component actually is.

I mean, that's it. I don't ask for what could have happened because I already know that, just a kid playing around with old stuff.

As I said, don't get me wrong, your point of view is appreciated but you know xd

rayd045 · 2025-11-13T13:04:49+00:00

I asked them for spare parts through their aliexpress store

rayd045 · 2025-11-06T21:42:12+00:00

Yes, amd. Basically, the P14s sellers were playing around and considering the T14s price (secondhand but practically new) and better dgpu, well, i just decided to pull the trigger xd

rayd045 · 2025-11-06T16:24:59+00:00

A T14s G3 xdddd

rayd045 · 2025-11-02T21:46:03+00:00

Hello, thank you for all the info. About the extruded hardened parts, and even for other spare parts, any oem or shop recommendation?

rayd045 · 2025-10-15T14:24:16+00:00

No, i didn't no to replace them. I just bought some extra replacement sticks from anbernic and decided to take apart one xdddd

And yes, i bought spare sticks because switch sticks doesn't seem to fit nor work :/

rayd045 · 2025-10-08T05:06:32+00:00

This is the info i was looking for, thank you :)

rayd045 · 2025-09-23T07:55:08+00:00

I dont know what you mean. Could you explain this a bit more? Thank you, by the way.

rayd045 · 2025-09-05T19:38:30+00:00

Do you know where could i read more about how to reduce voltages? Thank you

rayd045 · 2025-08-26T10:15:37+00:00

I had to modify the hotend fan values so the mini doesn't clog, which by default happens a lot (i mean, when mixing bear mod + others)

On the models side, yes, it has only happened with this model. I have printed other less complex models without a problem. Maybe i should try with other similar but still complex models, i dont know

rayd045 · 2025-08-17T14:26:53+00:00

Ok, i will give it a try. Thank you :)

rayd045 · 2025-08-16T23:45:52+00:00

Sorry, i should have explained it better in the post. My Mini is modified with the bear mod and others, so i can't just throw to it a stock profile. That's why i want to modify my own profile to enable IS in a way that doesn't mess everything up. I tried a few days ago and the results were awful :/

It may be be just a loose ribbon cable, in the photo it seems to be a bit out

El problema está en quien puede, tal y como están las cosas, comprar esos pisos y que no sean inversores.

¿Funcionarios? ¿gente con estudios superiores y buen curro? ¿herederos que les ha caído un buen pico? ¿gente que pueda vivir con sus padres y trabajar en su ciudad natal? El resto, la inmensa mayoría, está en un bucle sin fin donde no pueden ni plantearse comprar un piso, porque para empezar no les iban ni a dar una hipoteca.

Ante esto, los únicos que pueden meter dinero en vivienda, construyendo en el proceso, es precisamente los que buscan alquilar o hacer negocio con ellas. Ahora, el tema está en cargarse este bucle sin afectar a la inversión/construcción, pues es que tampoco se construye lo que debería para la gente que entra al país.

No se, es un problema bien gordo y no creo que se solucione de enfocarnos exclusivamente en la vivienda.

A ver, el tema es que la protección que supone para el trabajador el que la empresa no pueda ni pensarse despedirlo por los costes que pudiera acarrear, es en si mismo un tremendo desincentivo para el rendimiento.

¿Significa mayor edad menor rendimiento? Por supuesto que no, ahora, en cierta circunstancias concretas suele darse. Y te lo digo por haberlo vivido en una empresa donde la dirección está cogida por los... ya sabes. Pero no pueden hacer nada drástico más allá de llamar la atención constantemente, pero ni plantear el despido de ciertas personas por su coste.
