Guest TabbyBoy Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 That old coot in the red Nissan Micra this morning faffing at the traffic lights at J6 of the M4.

I've used a chiller pad, replaced fans, etc. I did buy a new one, but I'm still in the migration process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imirish11 Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Not sure if I should complain or not, but spotted this from a random member on CAG, made me chuckle...

I managed to melt a desktop processor by not doing this. Dust had been building up (over 6 years) on the cooking fins of the heat sink and had been hidden by the fan covering it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've already done that twice in the last year. It's got something to do with the heatsinks for the video card. Thanks for building laptops that could work as kitchen tops as well HP!

wholovesboo Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Spent the morning hacking away at a wall of ice at the end of the driveway. Thanks a lot, snowplow. I did discover that a garden hoe works amazingly well breaking up the ice. I felt like a prospector with a pick axe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exciter1 Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 A CAG should know better! No kidding! I've scored some great deals over on CAG, but my game backlog took over and I had to stop. I had some pretty good luck flipping some games when Best Buy had great sales or clearance deals on bundles, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarCityBrickCompany Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 For all the Ice/snow complainers - Last month we spun off a suddenly icy highway at around 50 mph into a tree filled ditch (4 hrs from home). So a long commute isn't really all that bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
