    Tested it after clearing out and other cache. It seems uCode wasn't loaded properly, scores are lower. For gaming not seeing much FPS drops. OS slipstreaming took longer than expected for Win 10.

    That's a shocker for me. I always had great GPUs from Gigabyte(NV) and Sapphire(AMD). I'm more sad after seeing first party AMD and Nvidia not honoring their used GPUs and its almost waste of silicon yeah its single use and doesn't have any value. I guess HK, K series and other series including XMP 2.0 must be scrapped from the Marketing BS bullets if they don't honor their warranties to upsell their OC'able gimmick and not honoring the warranty by saying user OC'ed so you're SOL and Intel going AWOL. Might as well sell soldered BGA in desktop and also soldered RAM and firmware so that it makes warranty swaps easier. I don't think you can make chargeback since its been so long and most of the time user will be blamed for not reading their no OC policy on their Unlocked overclockable chipsets, it makes matters much worse.

    @Mr. Fox@PapusanI noticed strange behavior after applying latest uCode for skylake F0(earlier it used to be slow, say a month ago) and also applied latest MEIFW v11.8.93.4323 the CPU is performing better and I used TSBench to complete a single run of 8,10,12 and 16. Subsequent running beat my earlier scores and CPU ran hot and VID was hitting 1-1.1V with 80-100mV undervolt. However I fired up benchmate and used F7 hotkey to clear CPU cache line and re-ran 8 thread in TSBench and it was dog slow like usual and expected result which I got a month ago. I'm unsure what the behaviour really is? Is it hardware issue or simply a MEIFW bug that made CPU to pull more wattage to perform better? Could the caching from CPU for recent instructions bite me in the future? I might test it in CB R20 and see if benchmate reports skewed clock times causing the freq to be higher.

    I think they triggered or activated flagging MSO as suspicious activity. Usually they correct these def. update or platform updates. I use Defender along with DefenderUI(makers of Voodoo-shield) with custom profile. I use few custom bat script which are removed by 3rd party post OS install either from NTlite or WinToolkit

    I did make a custom Win 11 ISO with Home and Pro versions during initial release and most requirements are bypassed in both install.wim and boot.wim.

    Now it is close to 50C. Ceiling fan always get broken in summer and fortunately, I had pedestal fan otherwise I'd have become baked fat potato.

    Your ambient temps are not extreme unlike in India where it hovers around 30-40C ambient temps. For me Cooler Master Maker Gel held up for 5yrs plus w/o degradation.

    Depends on heatsink fit. On my alienware the GPU side had slight offset to the left while removing the heatsink. I had to redo it and tape on sides. On CPU side there were no slips. Then again I did cut the film/carbon sheet smaller as to fit it inside the CPU or GPU.

    Don't sand it too much. When i was doing it for the first time, i nearly took too much and in turn reduced pressure. Use 800-1000 grit and try sanding it in one direction just twice/thrice. I think @Mr. Fox@jaybee83@Reciever @Papusan and others can help you in getting exact or precise process.

    @RecieverHi Just noticed a strange thing today, is there a grace period timeout on 2FA code window, I actually forgot to type the code for 30 mins and after inputting a new code I was able to login. In other forums I'll be immediately kicked out and be landed to login page. Is it by design?

    From the picture, the pads on extreme left side vertically you can use soft pads from 0.2mm or 0.5mm from arctic or any chinese knockoffs marketed as GPU pads.As for existing pink pads its hard to say because its sticky and might become brittle as time progresses. I think 1mm and 0.5mm pads should be sufficient for your laptop.

    I'm glad I didn't apply offline patch.

    Alphacool does say the paste is great for longevity/reliability for high pressure heatsink.

    Tried the amd64 and ISO is not bootable in EFI. Also tried wimboot and ran into same issue. The odd thing is Image version still use Win 10.x.x build 22H2. Is it Win 10 with new UI and sys. reqmt were overestimated to kick out working PCs. The ISO size is 399MB

    @solidus1983I managed to open up the heatsink and the sheets almost melted to heatsink just like LM. On GPU there was slight shift then again I couldn't existing sheets after I tore up whilst removing through pluckers. I added insulation tape around GPU die and so far it seems to be good.

    Yeah MX4 dry out quickly. TFX does seem to hold its own after many years/months acc. to @Rofa1234@Falkentyne and others.

    Almost broke my back going to college with 5 Kg BGA and books.

    I'm using Firefox and wasn't impressed with new downloads feature. It seems manifest_v3 compatibility or support is being added in firefox. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1765316

    I used WinZip but got put off with constant nag screens to purchase or register even on freeware, so was looking for alternative and found 7z. The same thing is available in Linux so haven't looked back ever since. Its been more than a decade. I agree RAR5/6 support was added later in 7zip but for my use case 7z suited my needs. I preferopen source or cross platforms nowadays with one exception being MSO and Libreoffice/Google Docs works to a certain extent, MSO slightly edges them out in terms of performance on huge files be it Excel, Word or Powerpoint.

    DPTF allows configurable TDP, skin temp limit, acoustics etc. But some OEMs choose to incorporate and some ignore it. If you don't see it listed the model/laptop doesn't support it.
  21. Vasudev
    I'd suggest installing Intel chipset driver and uinstalling dptf driver if its present. Are you using any third party power plan optimizer that is interfering intel speedstep driver?

    If it needs new CPUs and GPUs to run the game, its a major No-No for me. I'm satisfied with old one with mods and community fixes that made the old game playable on wide variety of devices from iGPU to dGPUs. Anyone noticed CPU and GPU temps spiked to atrocious 90-95C after Rockstar game launcher was updated. After restarting the game the temps went back to 60C on GTA 5 steam edition.

    Those are Thermal Grizzly Carbonaut. BOB of all Trades, @FalkentyneGamer Nexus x Roman/Derbauer did do a round of testing. I tried Carbonaut for their near perfect temps or non degraded temps even after long years. It saves me lot of time where BGA machines like Alienware and others which has complicated removal process and this cloth can be reused w/o loss in quality. I did lap and replaced thermal pastes on my laptops before adding carbonaut. So results will vary depending on your PCs/laptops/Consoles etc.

    Ok thanks. I didn't get it at first, Brasso which I used to cleanup copper utensils and lamps. I will apply a thin coat and try it out in few days will let you know.

    The reason I didn't cover the whole die area was the dGPU die were quite sharp and cloth got chipped on some sides and after adjusting the length it was irregular shaped square instead of perfect square of 18mm. Anyway I will have to open it up once I receive the replacement battery. HSF copper put me off too. I cleaned with fresh isopropyl alchol multiple times and few mins after drying it forms that ugly pattern. Maybe I'll tape the sides once I open it up. I'm benching it for testing and so far temps are great and I'm able to hit 45W in AIDA64 SST on CPU and >75W on GPU which never happened in 6 years I owned it. Without undervolt CPU temps spiked to 91C on 2 cores while rest were 86-87C pulling around 52W. The only thing missing is battery and that could explain better temps on CPU and GPU. Maybe battery is limiting performance. Gaming temps for 10 mins were under 60C on CPU and GPU.
