Coffee is bean broth that turns into soup when you add cream and sugar. ---

Got my ASUS P5E back with the one working 8GB kit of DDR2-1100. Now I need to decide if I want to keep the MSI X48C-Platinum, or do an overclocking comparison on the boards with the QX6800. ---

I’m somewhat annoyed at twitch, lol. I could give less of a shit about Fortnite, pubg, Overwatch and etc that are popular games but when I play what I like to barely get any chat interaction. (Yes some of that is due to me. And playing strategy games a lot; but still). And yet the popular games get a lot more people in just because its those games. Oh well. In other news. Actually don’t have much going on today yet anyway. Probably going to go find some parts for the mod later and then mayybe do some other stuff as well later. And then work Wooo Oh also. Probably going to end up soldering my custom copper loop together. Was just going to use compression fittings but that doesnt actually work for anything lol… So that will be _interesting_ , might take a few attempts. But on the plus side the tubing I got is the HVAC kind so its semi-bendable by hand so thats nice. Also, 18-24 hour long days take some getting used to 😛 ---

@Fouquin do you have any idea what the power control and power monitor circuit does in the BIOS of the 8760W? laptop has been running really hot and trying to figure out why. (Idleing at around 70C) Its not windows related as it does it in linux as well Might end up having to take this apart and reapply thermal paste ---

Hmm. Odd. I did redo thermal paste when I installed the i7 That said, if the i5 and i7 models are actually quite different, might be the heatsink Then again its not like ivy bridge is known for running cool in laptops lol. Unlike coffeelake and such. ---

For example @Dje4321 just the gen before your laptop, the quad core high clock laptop i7s would max at 85-95C under normal use (and idle in the 50-70 range. Because yeah. And the gen before that… Well. They were… 1.6ghz base clock and boost clock to like 2.8ghz _maybe_ on quad core i7s just to keep thermals in check. ---

Its a laptop, this is normal lol. Its maybe 5 or 10c above normal but thats probably just the heatsink at that point Also; you can possibly change the fan speeds. I don’t entirely remember if any of the fan tuning software works on laptops but can try it. ---

Went for an early morning walk to the park and the fog is kinda cool as it covers the area below. ![IMG_20180628_041846](https://forum.0cd.xyz/uploads/default/original/2X/a/a7d95cc9c6c23b78550338a995ab81228494d103.jpg) phone doesn’t do it justice and is much deeper in person but oh well.
