For prebuilts I always recommend at the minimum, take out the gpu and ram. Then reseat it yourself
Reseat connectors on any SSD/HDD
And reseat the Mobo PSU cable and CPU PSU cable on the main board

so, snagged an old 128GB M.2 ssd from an old laptop at work like, 6+ months ago
and only just got around to plugging it in
its barely been used, like ever, im very confused
too bad its only a 128gb,
well a ssd is an ssd, and my motherboard had a free slot 😄
only reason i would have been able to take it, is it came from a decommissioned laptop, so either, it was replaced on warranty then basically never used (may have been a spare they had lying around for ages)
or the firmware is fucked and reporting wrong data, which is possible
since the temp sensor is stuck at 50 C constantly

are you sure it isn't just running at 50c

if you don't give a shit about the surface temps sure, you can air cool it
deep sapphire
Pretty sure plenty of 1200w PSUs exist that are air cooled
umbral moss
it's the CPU and GPU where temps actually matter
although you can smoke a 1200W PSU if you let the mosfets hit 95C too
deep sapphire
I ran a dual 580 setup with a 990X under air and it held up fine was pulling about 900 from the wall at times
umbral moss
I had a 480 on air and it was running 75C idle
deep sapphire
Mosfets are designed to run that hot
umbral moss
air cooling stops being efficient after a point
deep sapphire
They’re all passively cooled on motherboards and regularly run that hot
umbral moss
75C is fine for components that don't have thermal noise sensitivity, CPUs/GPUs do
especially with OCs
for purely passive components (like transformers), it doesn't matter because you don't care that the surface temp is 250C
as long as it doesn't melt it's gucci
run a CPU at 250C and you're in for a bad time
deep sapphire
I just looked it up they have a thermal ceiling of up to 180c
sly walrus
then curve it more
umbral moss
the original premise was "why can't you air cool 1200W" and the problem is a function of surface area, I can dissipate 1200W over 65 square meters no problem
deep sapphire
Okay but mosfets in consumer electronics regularly get to upwards of 100c
umbral moss
it's not ideal to run them that high
deep sapphire
It’s completely fine
umbral moss
it's within the design envelope but still not ideal
deep sapphire
??? It’s just over half of its max operating temperature
If it wasn’t safe to do it then why do all of them run as hot as they do
umbral moss
didn't say it was unsafe
deep sapphire
You certainly implied it lol
umbral moss
but there's a separation between high power mosfets like PSUs and VRMs and transistors
deep sapphire
Okay I’m talking about bog standard chokes here
They are entirely safe to operate at that temperature and will last many years
The only time it would cause an issue is if it heat soaked other components near them but I’m pretty sure engineers solved that or we’d have a bigger issue on our hands
Hence the use of heat spreaders
dull garnet
umbral moss
Hence the use of heat spreaders
all a function of surface area
air cooling makes for annoying thermal management because you can only dissipate so much heat from a given volume of heatsink fins, and for VRMs where they can run at high temps it doesn't matter too much
baking your poor CPU at 95C because Tjmax is 105C is... not nice to your hardware at all
deep sapphire
That has nothing to do with mosfets
umbral moss
that's because they got conflated somehow
the original proposition was "normalize air cooling PCs again", when 1200W PC heat loads have dumb surface area requirements to keep the temps in a reasonable range
deep sapphire
You’re over thinking this, a component that is designed to operate upwards of 180c is perfectly fine running at 90c
umbral moss
water cooling is just more efficient per unit volume
deep sapphire
Water cooling still runs into surface area issues too, it only removes the heat from the radiator it’s just able to do it over a larger area but even water cooling can reach a limit hence why AIO units in single or dual configurations don’t particularly perform that well at higher thermal limits

it needs your windows 10 key, which it converts to windows 11 key and deactivates the old key
if you use insider builds it gives you a provisional key that's valid as long as you're using insider builds
but you need a valid key to begin with
so you can use your 10 key to activate windows, switch to insider builds, and then use that key forever

MSI drivers :chad:
umbral moss
yeah, but MS also eats your old key when you "upgrade" for free
ever tried to go back to the old key?
no, like, the activation key for, say, 8 becomes a 10 key when you upgrade through the upgrade program
so if you reinstall 8 that key won't work anymore
you can carry a key forward forever because it's tied to your MS account, yeah, but once you upgrade it it's considered a valid key for whatever version it upgraded to
yeah, because the edge case of going back is pretty rare
but the early days of every new MS release are usually fraught with buyer's remorse
so if you want to go back to 10 from 11 it's... not easy if you have an upgrade key

"I have a legend in my hands: a pre-production Bitblaze Titan (opens in new tab) laptop based on the Baikal-M processor is ready," said Yana Brush, commercial director of Prombit, the company behind Bitblaze, in a blog post (opens in new tab). "A very decent built quality, thin aluminum case, light weight. I have tested some mainstream software applications: office programs and YouTube. Works great, lasts five hours on the battery. We continue testing in various workloads, getting ready for the official release."
Guys guys ... it can WATCH YOUTUBE
dull garnet
Nah it looks like a mid 10s thinkpad
odd sand
The heart of the Titan is the Baikal-M1 SoC, which uses eight outdated Arm Cortex-A57 cores operating at 1.50 GHz and outfitted with an 8MB L3 cache accompanied by an eight-cluster Arm Mali-T628 GPU with two display pipelines. The Cortex-A57 first appeared in a commercial product in 2015, whereas the Mali-T628 (Midgard 2nd Gen) has been around since 2014. The Baikal-M1 is made by TSMC using one of its 28nm-class nodes.
They claim the production version will look like this
They are correct though, if they just need to render websites and watch Youtube, that will work. (It will run Linux)
Will TSMC supply them with CPUs though? I thought there was a boycott
Or did they source a glut of these older CPUs

thank you windows

yes it is an antivirus software
the issue i had was that it had high cpu usage on basically anything and everything
so even if it was scanning it wouldn't be taking that much cpu
latent grotto
Iirc its a bug
modest moss
how long did it go on?
eager sandal
how long did it go on?
my high cpu usage crap? i had to reinstall windows
it wasn't just the scan, chrome for some reason took 90% cpu usage too
same for discord
so after trying to revert the windows update and it didn't work, i just had to do a clean reinstall of windows from cloud
kinda bullcrap that i wasted a day of studying over this

Watching the Wan show from the past week. Linus going over some drama some lady tried to start, big oof
She basically assumes the worst in people and fabricated some entire scenario about Linus and so he aired out all the communications etc. to show nothing happened and the lady just implicitly read the worst possible reading of a situation at every turn

The fear’s definitely there, though I have the benefit of a team which has like... 20-30% women? And they’re all either extroverted or seasoned so it’s less anxiety inducing.

idk how to explain this
something about dressing professional being treated differently?
I countered with "I'd treat the biker person the same as anyone else I work with" lol
