    Wait, why are there two threads for this?

    Perhaps we can have them merged??

      @ stj:
      Well don't be surprised it was me . I save everything for re-use. EVERYTHING!
      okay, not everything, but a good amount.

          Good catch, done
          I noticed it today too, was confusing me at first because I wanted to show it to a friend but could not find the "first" thread...

            Dell Latitude 5570 Ambient thermal sensor reading -127 Degrees C
            by Gcnewbie
            Forgive me this is my first request for help on this forum, so if i've screwed up or not followed the rules i should have i apologise profusely.

            I have a Dell Latitude 5570 that was randomly shutting down, on further investigation i found that the machine had been shutting down due to thermal events as noted by windows event viewer.
            My investigations lead me to the dell diagnostics screen, where i found that there were two sensors out of range which had been causing the shutdowns, one of which was the GPU thermal sensor and the other the ambient sensor.
            I opened the...

            Laptop overheating after replacement thermal paste
            by Veyron7887
            Hi. I have Asus X55C laptop from year 2013. It has i3-2328M CPU. I replaced stock thermal paste with high quality thermal paste. Before thermal paste replacement, I measured CPU temperature Around 65-70 degrees Celcius with stock thermal paste. If after the replace thermal paste, I measured CPU temperature around 80-84 degrees Celcius and fan don't stop when system is idle. I replaced the thermal paste several times but still did not change. Where is the problem?

            Can thermal paste cause corrosion?
            by caspian
            Dear members,

            I have got an ordinary gray thermal paste that has no name/model on the box.
            I put some of this thermal paste on a 128-pin QFP IC. A bit of this thermal paste was put on pins of the IC.
            I tried to clean the pins by thinner but the thermal paste cannot be cleaned from the pins properly. because the pins are tiny and the thermal paste is stuck between them.
            Is it possible that the thermal paste damages pins of the IC in long term by creating corrosion or something?
            Is it safe to leave the thermal paste on the pins?
            I guess the thermal paste...

            MSI GP62MVR-7RF - weird fan / thermal issue
            by gurj1979
            Hey guys, I need help with my personal MSI GP62MVR-7RF. Annoying fan / thermal issue.
            Machine Idle. Fan will spin medium speed for 4 seconds, then off for 1 second. Repeat forever.
            CPU and GPU are cold. No load, just sitting doing nothing.
            It's clean inside, nothing blocked. New MX4 paste.
            Updated BIOS, EC, and VBIOS but nothing's helped.
            Schematic shows 2 thermal resistors, but they're OK.
            All thermal signals are good, inc PCH.

            Has anyone ever come across this ? Any idea what to do ?
            Could it be a faulty CPU / PCH / KBC ? I REALLY don't want...

            Fixed a Velodyne DPS-12 Subwoofer. Thermal Management + Heatsink Grounding Question
            by nobbnobb1
            Hello,

            I have a Velodyne DPS-12 subwoofer that was making weird noises. Upon taking it apart, I noticed there was yellow glue all over the circuit board which had turned brown, so I scraped it all off and that fixed the problem. I used hot glue instead around the various components.

            There was also one bulging capacitor, and another that must've been in a really hot location because the labelling looked like it was scorched. You can see in the picture the circuit board has discolored over time from this heat. Could either be from the MOSFET (with heatsink), or the resistor....
