1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Arctic is my go to brand

 

Yeah, Nvidia makes too much money to give a shit

This thing has never been opened until today and that was all factory

 

It's pretty good price/performance wise really

 

Open even a really expensive laptop like one of the large Macbook Pros and they're just as bad.... old post incoming but this was a really nice ASUS laptop I had in high school....

Man I mean to be fair, at least yours had more coverage

Pic I posted above was with the heatsink removed and plenty of areas had NO paste on it

 

Wonder if they outsource it to a CM but I doubt it. I see where OEMs will do that shit but their CMs have to nail a lot tighter window when building the same product.

 

I expect some non-reference to be better (depending on the reseller) as they incorporate their own cooler setups and just buy the boards and die from Nvidia.

I've seen some awesome setups personally on EVGA and MSI cards, and hear XFX is the top go to for AMD cards.

Unfortunately, EVGA got out of the GPU market after their RTX 30 series.

 

I'm not familiar with those, but have done a lot with xilinx and a memory OEM. The xilinx were scary, placing $60k FPGA's, you better get that shit right.

 

Pull out your GPU from your PC and open her up.

You'll be like WTF

 

Haha it's funny, I am so disconnected from this shit the second I leave work. I don't touch it. Way too intimated. I should pull the panel off and clean the inside though.

 

Dust it for sure, but really thermal paste lasts you a good few years.

I won't re-paste my current setup for maybe another 3 years or so.

The GPU above was just an extra one.

 

I need some dust spray. She was gross when I moved and looked inside. I'm terrible at taking care of electronics. It's a testament to their quality when they last in my possession

 

OUCH

 

@Kwikvette you going to build a busy board for Theo?

 

Sacrifice an extender, jb weld it and drop it in, pull it out in the morning.

 

Oh dude you know it

Just need to wait until he's old enough

PS your welds must be like your heart, cold AF

 

I'm on the planning stage now. Will start building this spring.

 

@CS_AR any ideas why The Inifiniti J30 used the VG engine until 98, while the Maxima dropped it in favor of the VQ30 in 94?
