    I left some thermal paste on the CPU.

    It was a new in box heatsink. Has Foxconn stamped on the metal, so I assume that is the OEM... they seem to make everything nowadays.

    Anyway it's working fine... played Crysis and peak temps were around 65°C so I'm pretty happy. I compared the weight of the old and new, and they were about the same. They are also both made of aluminium. So, I do think it was overkill having it on there...

    I'm just trying to get the damn Far Cry 2 benchmark working. Why the .... do I need to validate it over the 'net? Some kind of release check problem. My gaming PC does not currently have a net connection since the failure of my power line Ethernet adapters that have proven difficult to repair.

        For a 2005 era processor, this thing is fast!

          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....

          Metod for removing glued heatsink from fragile component
          by harp
          I have peltir element glued to heatsink with something thick and sticky like putty... it cant be separate with force or heat without risk of breaking ceramic or damaged semiconductor layers due to force (eg if try twisted, pulled, lifted)... method that I am using is a single thread for needle (thin and firm thread of pure polyester that cant break with bare hands without glowes), and using it like a saw between heatsink and peltir. I holding a heatsink with knee against table. It slowly cut throug putty and release glued parts. It is slow proces, but preserve undamaged component and heatsink....

          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...

          HannStar Hanns-G HC194d LCD monitor repair
          by momaka
          Normally, I never post repairs this quick after I do them, because… I am usually very slow. But today, I’m making an exception here. Why? No idea. Perhaps only because the repair details are still “fresh” in my head… which is ironic, given this is a 16 year old monitor that hardly anyone will care about today. It is new to me, though. I picked it up last November from someone on my local Craigslist. It wasn’t very close to where I live, but was close to a family friend that I had to go visit anyways. So after watching the posting on Craigslist for a few weeks and seeing it getting...
