are you this dense

just because it works, doesn't mean it can't be improved

higher efficiency = lower energy usage

@Goz3rr can you still buy windows 7 licenses to convert to w10? <:alismirk:230784726615588865>

@Cole it comes with legit windows 10

Nigga what if Goz3rr wants to play some webgl or video render shit on the fly?

That's an almost 50% faster igpu

@Goz3rr wait, it has the Windows serial number embedded in the mainboard, right? So I can just reinstall with my own usb drive?

yeah

then he shouldn't buy a celeron laptop @AstroJannah

do I need the xiaomi screwdriver set to do this

Yes

am i gonna have to mess with the laptop like that

you can disable power limits in the bios

i thought goybest removed my good boye points

Is there any way to lower the TDP of the cpu? Like limit clocks? Or something?

if it supports intel XTU yes

but why

alternatively if you modify your bios

@bentech goddamn that video

>calls capacitors resistors

>spreads thermal paste with a plastic bag

hahaha

wow im kinda amazed how that laptop looks when opened up

it looks decently servicable

I love how many bad ideas there are for thermal paste application

I'm actually lost in all of the bad ones and don't know how to do it properly anymore

i normally spread it

i use a really thick paste though

@Cole the right way is to draw a pentagram with thermal paste and then sacrifice a newborn

What's better between low TDP x86 or ARM?

http://www.thermal-grizzly.com/en/products/16-kryonaut-en

depends on implementation etc

I always thought ARM was preferrable for low TDP

in reality it doesn't really mastte

Well I mean
