I preinstall #UbuntuLTS per default because of that.

• 5 years of support from date of release. By the time it goes EoL their machine needs servicing (#ThermalPaste) or #upgrades / #replacement anyway.
• Just works for "#Normies" & "#TechIlliterates".
• free
• comes with their most desired #Apps preinstalled (#LibreOffice, #Thunderbird, #Firefox, …) or trivial to reinstall (#TorBrowser, #Steam, …)…

Arctic launches its best thermal paste yet for chips of all types — claims new MX-7 formulation runs 3% cooler than its predecessor

Masaüstü bilgisayarımın ekran çıkışı sorunu yüzünden 10 yıldır bakım falan yapmamıştım!

Artık ekran sorunu çözüldüğüne göre termal macununu yenilesem iyi olacak!

Sözde donanımın ortalama TDP (Thermal Design Power) değeri 45-55°C olmalı,

ama boşta 55-60, YouTube videosu izlerken bile 70-80°C ve anlık olarak sürekli 100°C'ları görüyor!

İşlemci yanıp bozulmadan termal macununu yenilemeliyim!

Bunu sipariş verdim;

Igor’s Lab: Thermal paste database version 3.0 – More accurate and practical data, a technology upgrade and well over 100 tested pastes. “After testing well over 100 thermal pastes, today we have a real upgrade! In today’s presentation of the new database version 3.0, I will explain why the evaluation of thermal pastes based on a simple CPU measurement is often misleading.”

A Particular Brand Of Cheap Thermal Paste Is Wreaking Havoc On Heatsinks #cpucoolers #hardware #thermalpaste #thermalsolution

Stinky thermal paste emits acidic vapors, corrodes copper, 'glues' heatsinks to processors, and permanently damages coolers - SGT-4 TIM is a chemically reactive blend, finds investigation

It's time to change a #thermalpaste and look at the board on Oct 12 Sunday 2025 Part 01

• I thought the glare was excessive due to the lights, but then again I'm not gonna complain more about it. Noone expects you to have a fancy mattebox with turntable to make some professional product photo.

Also even if people don't have a donor to transplant a screen assembly from or don't feel comfortable fiddling with eDP cables they could just remove the screen and have a compact AiO Desktop.

• If it has like a "full function" #USBc port with #PowerDelivery than this can result in a sleek desktop that also looks good and doesn't require much space. Ideal if the battery is busted and a replacement isn't worth it! I've seen those in like #RepairShops where they basically setup some #MacbookPro that way as a DFU machine to reflash / reinstall other #Macs.

I think it's a necessity that we as #TechLiterates propagate the need to #UseLonger and the #RightToRepair as essential, given that #tech inherently is expensive in terms of #resources and that avoiding #eWaste and #Upcycling is an act of #EnvoirmentalProtection.

• Tho make shure to safely remove any "#DangerPillow|s" and handing it over to the relevant #recycling provider(s)...

If I had the necessary €€€€€ I'd literally start my own "#upcycling" #business, even employ some folks collecting all the #surplus'd #Windows10 machines and just cleaning, wiping, repasting, fixing and selling them as cheap #used #PC|s for those that kinda need something to do their casual "#office", #LightGaming and #MediaConsumption.

• I mean people are surprised how zippy even old hardware can be with just few tweaks (more RAM, a fresh SSD, cleaning it of dust bunnies and repasting the cooler with some quality (longlife #ThermalPaste, like #ArcticMX4) "#ThermalGrease" (that costs like €1/g in a 20g syringe and a #RepairShop can easily go through one in a shift)...

Repasted my Laptop

Idle temps dropped from 55c to 35c
Load temps dropped from 98c to 65c

The old paste had a serious case of pump out and dryout at the same time.

It makes sense that the thicker the layer of #ThermalPaste is the more it may insulate for heat transfer. It's great to see the data presented so openly here by #der8auer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1BfSx5IG42c

Looks at established "Retro Tech" * Forum -

Everyone : It's recommended that you should replace your thermal paste in laptops every 5-6 years

:: nervously eyes 2006 MacBook ::

Me: uh-oh..

[ Yes! At almost 20 years ago, 2006 is officially Retro and ~that is in fact how Time works~ but I can still be salty about it.
Yes I can. ]

#MacBook #ThermalPaste #RetroTech

Hey #PCMR / #PCgaming people: would you consider #CPU *idle* temperature to be a reasonable way to assess the state of one's #thermalPaste?

I ask because measuring and comparing CPU performance under load is rather complicated and difficult. Seeing an idle temp of 30°C and calling it good is a heck of a lot easier…but is it actually good?

#BuildAPC #PCMasterRace

I think that #CAMM is a bad design compared to #SODIMM & #DIMM...

• Like #Apple's bs of #SolderedDownRAM but just slightly less worse cuz now one could only in theory get a daughterboard and doesn't have to replace individual chips.

Still, just gimme regular-ass socketed Chips & #DIMMs ffs!

• Also we don't need to make the THINN-nest machines ffs - just make them #repairable and #serviceable and #upgradeable, because #AntiRepairDesign is way more unsustainable than the 0,1% of idiots who give a shit about whether their #DDR5-RAM can do 6400MT/s or 4800MT/s, simply because most users won't notice that at all (unlike switching from a 2,5" #SATA-#HDD running at 5400rpm to an #NVMe-#SSD that maxes out #PCIe 4x connections.

#FACT: #RAM & #SSD|s are inevitably dying due to age and use and like #ThermalPaste need to be #replaceable for a device to work longterm!

• So stop the #Enshittification of #tech FFS!

I'd rather have a #THICC af #laptop that actually survives my daily use than some flimsy #tablet that snaps in half if I sneeze at it.

• No seriously, most devices can't even fit proper ports and cooling fans for no good reason whatsoever!

Also I think it's insulting to frame basic things like "stability" as a negative.

• Guess what? People want to #GetShitDone and the folks that actually buy a #MobileWorkstation want to be able to rely on that equipment...

o hivemind, what's a good place to buy thermal pads for delivery in the UK that's not Amazon? Overclockers, perhaps? RS?

(Recommendations welcome too, but it's only for a Pi 5 that I'm rehousing)
