The 949 Smash Thread: RIP PacWest

[The Greater Leon]

mine just died so my motivation has risen considerably

im just SO fukken busy

 

[GSUB]

i remember going there with you Dave! (I'm sure for most people it's no big deal, but I hardly ever go to the beach)
just from that picture!
ahhaha, fun timesss.

honestly if your laptops are overheating, that's just a design/engineering flaw. It just means that somewhere along the line of prototyping there was a lack of tests to ensure the product won't overheat. You can buy all the cooling pads/fans/trinkets but in the end its not your fault.

I might just be fanboying but my Thinkpad T400 never overheats from anything and the major source of heat if any is my 7200rpm harddrive and not the other internals. I also have another 5200rpm drive in the same laptop as a secondary hard drive and heat is still minimal. Most of the overheating issues I hear about commonly from Dells and HP's which probably don't go through as extensive testing as say thinkpads or even macbooks.

If you still have your warranty, I suggest calling someone and flipping out in a classy manner to try and get free stuff or a even a replacement. Customer service these days are usually pretty good at amending situations.

 

[GSUB]

do you mean, "mending" situations? =p

 

[Jun.]

do you mean, "mending" situations? =p

doesn't amending make sense too?

well either way I've gotten a lot of free stuff / great service from lenovo at least every time i call them.

Free stuff all because of my baseless complaints
-free hard drive : "hard drive was freezing and being dumb"
-free replacement keyboard : "I read forums online and people are getting replacement keyboards due to flex"
-free ram : "I 'fried' my ram and my computer won't boot"

one time I needed their service from a bad BIOS flash
-lenovo sent a prepaid next day air box and my laptop was shipped and was fixed in a total of 2 days flat.

moral of the story. Take advantage of your warranties. You're technically paying for it.

 

[Thundercloud]

I'm sorry Thundercloud, but i have no idea what any of that means.

Put gooey stuff on hot thing. Make it less hot.

 

[JDM]

Sounds sexy.

 

[ComboFest]

Hahahaha Very.

 

[Thundercloud]

Thunder Cloud is amazing at this stuff, when I first came over to his place and saw his sick *** laptop. I came inside my pants at how cool his laptop is and how much of a sweet deal he got it as well.

LOL Jason. Owning a laptop doesn't mean I know it inside and out. You can't really custom assemble laptops, so that doesn't really imply I know what I'm talking about.


Kira, it's not hard to use thermal paste. There are pretty clear instructions on how to do it.
Laptops are trickier, and I have less experience with them. It's also not guaranteed to actually do anything, it's only a solution to one of many possible problems.

 

[Kira-]

LOL sounds like it would be 20 times more hot after that

jun im pretty sure my laptop is old and extremely poorly taken care of but since it is a Dell you are probably right and it probably already sucked before i got it

edit - thanks thunder

 

[GSUB]

thermal paste helps transfer the heat from the cpu to the heatsink easier.




i think

 

[kirbyraeg]

try Arctic Silver 5 if you're going to do something like that, it's a good balance between price and effectiveness.

 

[Thundercloud]

Both these men speak the truth. :O

 

[MacD]

@ everyone, buy a can of air and spray your fan if you laptop is old, dust will accumulate and screw you over, i used to lag on anything over 480 on youtube and shows i would watch would randomly just lag at times

i blew the dust out with a can of air and now vids don't lag and starcraft doesn't lag, and if you saw how bad starcraft was, you'd understand how magical this is

before willy nilly taking apart your laptop, check a video or something to see how far down you're fan is, on my laptop, i'd have to take apart the whole laptop to get to the fan, not exactly a good idea unless you know what you are doing

@dave i left my screwdriver at cam's, it's on the side desk, it opens my laptop, i could bring it to grev or you could go to his house and try using it

 

[DJMirror]

Seriously MacD's laptop was sucking

now it's ******.

 

[Jun.]

spray the can of air upside down on your thigh

FEELS GOOD MAN


don't do it

 

[GSUB]

WHY SPRAY IT ON YOUR THIGH WHEN YOU CAN INHALE IT!!!???!!!???!!!

Try it guys! Just flip it upside down!



you'll get high! but it might kill you.
..
...
....

It will probably kill you.

 

[Kira-]

I had an urge to inhale the can at home but then i didnt want to die so i didnt. there are much safer ways to get high

@dave i left my screwdriver at cam's, it's on the side desk, it opens my laptop, i could bring it to grev or you could go to his house and try using it

tight im just gonna completely open it up and clean everything out cause it will be more fun to take the risk and see what everything looks like

I really wanna practice teams for the arcadian tourney. and also like 3 backup characters for singles so i will probably be at camerons before saturday

 

[JDM]

From the UCI Fight Night Group:

"Jeffrey Dee i just noticed someone (probably darryl) updated the info box of our group, that little text box right underneath the group picture and those links. for the record, if it is super smash bros melee, not only will i be open to play it, i will probably destroy everyone except mike salum. but **** brawl. that is all i wanted to say."

I then challenged everybody that posted to a $20 MM.

[-Rei-]

[The Greater Leon]

i play cs a little bit. i quite enjoy hazama, but i have very little experience. i spend most of my free time playing LoL, but now with 2 jobs and school idk how much time i will have for any gaming :O

 

[Kira-]

Rei what happened to your hand?

Chris Irvine's not the worst by any means lol, don't take any of that stuff too seriously. smashboards is one big troll haven

 

[The Greater Leon]

nah dude

get out and stay out

 

[kirbyraeg]

irvine is the strongest region

atatatatatata

 

[joeplicate]

there are much safer ways to get high

like worship

 

[DJMirror]

Now that's a low blow.

 

[joeplicate]

lmao i'm just pokin fun


the safest way to get high is probably
exercise

 

[Adam M!]

NOT the place to be..

QFT

It's one big pile of ego!

@Joe: Meditation!

 

[joeplicate]

haha i was about to say that

although it's the safest, it's not the easiest!
the high from meditation is decidedly more difficult to achieve than inhaling THC substances

 

[JDM]

 

[DJMirror]

Now that's some crazy *** t*ts. I'm not saying they're like big, can you image while you're having sex with that chick? like you can't see **** because those lasers blinding your eyes and ****.
