    I'm laughing at HP!

    Hi,

    This is similar to Fatal0E's thing about ABS Computer, I took off the heatsink that was on the processor because I wanted to reduce the temperature of the processor (The HP case is tiny and cramped) a bit and when the heatsink was removed I saw the plastic "Remove before use" pad. HP, leaving the "Remove before use" pad on the thermal pad of the heatsink is bad!
    My gaming PC:
    AMD Phenom II X6 1100T Black Edition 3.3GHz Six-Core CPU (Socket AM3)
    ASUS M4A77TD AMD 770 AM3 Motherboard
    PowerColor AMD Radeon RX 480 8GB GDDR5 PCI-Express x16 3.0 Graphics Card
    G.SKILL Value Series 16GB DDR3-1333 RAM (4x4GB dual channel)
    TOSHIBA DT01ACA200 2TB 3.5" SATA HDD (x2)

      I'm always laughing at HP when I see some joker buy one and realize how shoddy it is..... I also laugh when their caps go bad, which is even funnier!

      Ohh well, I'm spoiled by my Supermicro X5DAL-TG2, which is immune to the bad caps plague............................opens case just to be sure...

        We used to buy HP, but when they bought Compaq and it was reported that HP desktops would be designed in Houston (Compaq) instead of Sunnyvale, we decided to switch. I'll continue this in the "Post Your System" thread.

          Problem

          This is an LG edge LED lit LCD Display. The LEDs are on the bottom edge of the display. There are 2 bars (left and right) Each bar has many LEDs and a 6 pin connector. Each pin drive several LEDs thus is the highest current flow / heat junction. The weak lead free solder gradually fails with thermal expansion/contraction cycling and increases resistance. PSU will compensate up to a point, then when the current is too high, PSU just shut down the backlight causing a dark display. I have even seen one which the connector just fell off as solder points became completely detached....

          Seeking Advice on Enhancing Heatsink for Main Processor on SAMSUNG TV Motherboard
          by Ven
          Hello everyone,

          I'm looking to upgrade the heatsink on the main processor of my TV's motherboard for better cooling performance.

          The current heatsink is a square-shaped one (2.8cm x 2.8cn) with a basic design, and I believe a more efficient heatsink could help with thermal management and potentially extend the life of the TV.

          I'd appreciate any advice on the best type of heatsink to use, specific product recommendations, and tips for installation.

          If you've done a similar upgrade, I'd love to hear about your experience and any challenges you...

          Hantek 365 Remove screen on startup
          by Maxpower3
          every time I open the tool, I have the screen that appears
          and I am always in a hurry to use it so I click and it automatically sends me a link to the manufacturer.

          It annoys me lol.

          2 solutions to remove it.

          Either you remove pic.bmp and it no longer appears so no more links when clicking.


          or else you can modify the exe to remove the .bmp


          hope this helps users...
