ummm need more jeep stuff. lols

only played for a night but got bored quick. need c4/ claymore type stuff  to mess around with.

i think i may have all seasons of married with children on dvd, lols loved that show

a show i really enjoy but haven't seen mentioned yet is "Luther" from the BBC. Wished they would have made more episodes.

oh man!! i didn't even know that there was this kind of service available. nice!!!! i'm gonna gave it a try, if i run into anything, i'll let you know.

boobs. the setup is what I listen a few posts back.

do you have a newsgroups subscription?

No I don't. Not even sure what that is exactly. Relayed on cable mostly but decided to drop everything for Netflix and Hulu a few months back to save money.

totally interested in your setup michael. i don't have cable or satellite, mostly using netflix and hulu+ for all my show. i don't get game of thrones and i'm a season behind on all the latest stuff.

so far alot of us have the same taste in tv shows

Yeah always had great luck with ICD as well but as Iloveboobs mentions it does scratch the die, I guess only if you have to remove it at some point. There is a list of 80 on the threads been trying to find it here again I read it the other day. Some nice ones over ICD as well.

Edit:

MASSCOOL G751 Thermal Compound - Newegg.com

Shin-Etsu MicroSi G751 by Masscool seems good based on Nando's link here : Thermal Compound/Paste, brands, comparisons and how to apply - Page 3

The 80 compounds compared this one fares well. I don't know if it is non conductive. I guess so looking at it is Aluminum Oxide. Okay I take that back again says here " Appearance: Gray Paste

Application: Injector with cap for easy application and storage. Electrically non-conductive"

thanks buddy. i've seen that list too but it pretty old now and a lot of new paste has been release. these is also a new shin-etsu paste thats out too. but that one doesn't have any real reviews and is hard to order. thinking of going out of my comfort zone and trying out that liquid ultra.

Yeah MX-4 degraded pretty fast for me. For an intermediate paste had decent performance and longevity I have some Prolimatech PK-1. Personally looking into the newer pastes as well.

thanks mw86, thats the first time i've ever heard of that brand. thinking of ordering some gelid gc-extreme paste, reviews seem to be pretty good.

[h=1][/h]

looks like i need to repaste my system, haven't been keeping up to date with these new tims. anyone have recommendations??? i heard great things about liquid ultra, but i tend to stay away from conductive paste but if its the bomb then i guess i will gave it a go. also ic diamond is a no go for me since that stuff causes scratches. mx-4 was my go to but lately hearing that it degrades quickly.

once packaged the items head out for shipping

i'm not sure that i would make a killing, with materials and labor your looking at a very expensive one off cooler. i'm not officially done with this project yet, still need to figure out mounts for fan controller and cable management. prolly will need to but a new fan controller instead of using the sf-19 one just for better looks but haven't' decide yet. just shoot me a pm, ill see what i can do with the cnc and bending stuff but no promises.

yeah just keeping it. can't help it, need a portable desktop for work and home. either this or 2 desktops and a laptop to fit my needs.

Soo... you're rocking an AW17 now?

That cooler looks awesome!

nope its the 18", i need to buy a new backpack for this beast doesn't even fit my old bag that carried the 18x. geez!!!!

haven't decided on paint yet, kinda want to paint the lappy too but no available parts atm. so for now i'm leaving it bare but i'm a fan of flashy things so i added some lighting.

what kind of warranty do you have? are you outside of US?

but anyways, if you think its a bad cable, use a continuity tester to test it out. but first i would check all connections to see if anything is loose on mobo and screen side.

haven't done any major testing and i'm still at work. but here is a sample of temps with cpu at full load for 30 mins, tetris really puts alot of load on the cpu, lols. new system with stock paste. dam these 4940mx run friggin hot. looks like i need to repaste.

think connector number 2 is the issue here, this connector powers on webcam + led lights front and back logo lights. However the webcam is working! amazing just amazing.

Item number 3 was replaced but no luck.

could just be a break in the cable somewhere, or a faulty mobo, hard to say without further testing. isn't dell fixing this for you?

i was inspire to make this cooler after seeing this thread. http://www.**************/t/1388872/guide-how-to-make-a-high-air-flow-laptop-cooling . i have a cnc router at work and some 1/8" thick aluminum so i decided to make the base from scratch. I went to my local electronics store to find the highest cfm rated fans they had and found these 200mm nzxt fn-200, later on i read some reviews on them that say they die out easily but still i decided to gave them a try anyways. i have an old sf-19 notebook cooler that my kids broke the fan so i decided to use the stepless fan controller from that instead of buying a new fan controller, plus i'm a cheap ass anyways. after designing the cutouts, i had them cut out on my cnc router . once cut, i counter sunk the screw holes for the fans. gave it a test run and everything went smooth, so i used a metal break to add in the bends then put everything together again and this is what i got so far. atm i have it sanded down, thinking about painting it or maybe even powder coating it, just haven't decided on the color scheme yet. also planning on adding some lighting to it to make the "tech inferno" glow, was just planning on using the old sf-19 leds but they were burnt out. i'll keep everyone posted when i put the finishing touches on t, but so far i'm pretty happy with it, even tho this project blows .

i'm not familiar with these newer models so i can't say for sure but if its like the older versions it could be the motherboard or just a loose cable like mw86 said. you can check it yourself or just let the tech replace the mobo to see if it still happens. i recommend taking picture of the current condition of your laptop just in case the tech damages anything. $1350 is a good deal, could maybe be an outlet laptop. and welcome to TI !!

glad to see its getting fixed at least.

I bought it from a person who bought it from dell. It doesnt make a whole lot of difference. They want to bitch about it. I left a negative feedback on their website and hopefully they are going to react for it.

Believe it or not, they have to review my review! BULLSHIT.

how long has that person owned the laptop? you only have 30days from the laptop arrives to returned it. so your real beef should be with the guy who sold it to you in that condition not dell. right now fixing it is your only real option.

throttle stop is an xm chips best friend . i'm super rusty on using throttle atm but here is the link the the throttle stop thread http://forum.techinferno.com/throttlestop-realtemp-discussion/23-throttlestop-guide.html . kevin is around most of the time to help.

What they told me is since you didnt buy it directly from us, we cant do that for you! bullshit. Im going to leave a negative feedback on their website and also ask respectable reviewer to do that. The only option available for me is to do damage to the reputation of the company.

so wait a minute, where did you buy it from? if thats the case then its a whole different story man. you should of taking it back to here it was purchased from.

Well, Just called, the answer is NO! its a minor issue that requires a replacement of the motherboard! amazing just amazing. They also told me you didnt purchase the computer directly from us, which means Im pretty much fucked up!

Your still in your return period, so that's pretty bs of them to not accept a return. Keep calling until you find a decent rep that's willing to help. Or get in contact with one of the Dell reps on here or nbr. Also try leaving Facebook or Twitter comments at the same time.

if you just received it, then you can return it. don't call tech support, try calling customer support instead since its new. don't fix it, either get a new replacement or refund.
