I might as well just vent the case then but im worried about moister then getting into the system. Im not too sure about the internals of the laptop because the screws are non standard and i dont want to go out and buy a set if its not worth it. I think you might be right about the foil being too thin though. Do you know at all if its possible to attach thermal paste at all to m series processors? All the ones i have seen are passively cooled with no heat sinks. I dont even know if they have anywhere to mount one.

Bigger surface area for heat dispersion. The temperature it self doesnt bother me however its localized to one spot which lights my legs on fire. No the case is plastic

So i have a lenovo yoga which has a m3 processor that is passively cooled. Do you guys know if i can get some aluminium foil and thermal paste with a electrical insulator and make a make sift heat sink underneath the case?

I wonder if they are even reading the comments about there dodgy reviews and click bait tactics. I dont know whats worse, them listening to our feedback and not caring or them not reading it at all. If they keep this up they might get some more casual views but will end up loosing a lot of there core hard core audience. I didnt watch any ces videos simply because they were click bait piles of trash and i watch their vlogs for god sake. I really hope they at least address this stuff.

Gosh dang that razor blade 14 looks good. It would be a trip to own a laptop that is almost as powerful as my desktop.

My peripherals are depressing as usually. Im praying one day i will win one of these contests so i can get out of video game hell. Razor death adder with a broken scroll wheel. A microsoft keybored with some failing keys and a horrible ghosting problem. A corsair headset thats not too bad but the battery is like 2 hours and thats it. Also how do you know if we have liked them of twitter or not? My twitter isnt linked with the ltt forums.

i dont really care how it looks so long as its super cheap and not massive. Some of these itx cases are $150 and when you chuck in a power supply and mobo its gets more expensive then i like. I dont have a limit on parts but im not going to drop $400 for essentially a ps2. If that were the case i would have bought the parts already and not bothered you guys

Steam big picture has a lot of problems with it dont even get me started on the dedicated os. Ideally smaller. Being able to put a full hard drive in it would be handy though to save on cost. Also there are some itx cases i know that come with psu's build in that are marketed as mini server cases for cheap and i could probably find a used mitx mobo somewhere but it would take a long time for one to pop up where i live.

dedicated graphics is a bit overkill for what i want this thing to do it also increases cost. Also thin itx cases and thin motherboards are kind of non standard so they cost more then standard cases/mobo. A lot more. The psu's that normally come in package deals are like 120 watt which would be enough but not for dedicated graphics.

Ok so i have a g3258 lying around collecting dust i want to turn into a dedicated emulator. I was going to run http://www.lakka.tv/ Since it seams to have a nice interface and still has updates although recommendations would be appreciated. What i really need help with is all the rest, hopefully it would be nice to find a tiny itx bundle that has everything save for the cpu but i doubt thats possible. Ideally size and cost takes precedence. I dont want to move around a big case if i dont have to and this isnt a high end gaming pc so i dont care about high end parts. Bonus points if you guys can make it cheaper and smaller then a ps2 on release. Money AUD, monitor 1 tv hdmi and DVI, peripherals 4 wired controls preferably in front. It shouldn't need a keybored/mouse since the emulator is the os and supports controls. I will be underclocking it so i dont fry it since i want a tiny case but it will probably still need a fan. My cpu runs at 80-90 degrees with stock fans base/4.0ghz sooooo passive is out of the question. "I have no clue why but my g3258 runs at the same temperature with base clock as it does with an overclock but it cant go over 4.0 ghz without crashing" EDIT: I lied i have some crappy ram as well

To be honest i need both. I was duped by a salesman when i bought my first pc my key bored (6 years ago?) was a sidewinder x6 and it has suuuuuuper bad ghosting (key rollover of 3). As for the mouse i have an old deathadder whos mouse wheel had to be fix so many times that the actual axle eventually snapped in half from wear. If i had to pick though id probably choose the EXCALIBUR! I mean look at it. Its sexy af!

I dont have an ssd and because i live in australia they cost like $5 a gig. Giving me one would basically be charity.

That's a fair point. I imagine putting the energy back into your power supply would be a pretty dangerous mod so charging a battery is about the only way to minimize heat other than simply grounding the energy. The heat coming off of the LED's would be pretty small but as would the reduction in heat from the heat sink. This has definitely got me thinking more than i should be about this, i just don't want to live in a sauna anymore because i'm poor. :'c

I wouldn't be expecting to run anything important using heat only anyway there's a reason why we still burn fossil fuel. I would be more concerned about my room getting hot which is a very real probability seeing how most graphics cards have an ideal operation temperature of 70 degrees. Since the heat reduction is off the card it wont cool it making it work faster like a fan would but it should defiantly keep the radiator heat down. In theory

I was thinking the same thing till i saw this. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermoelectric_cooling "A single-stage TEC will typically produce a maximum temperature difference of 70 °C between its hot and cold sides.[5] The more heat moved using a TEC, the less efficient it becomes, because the TEC needs to dissipate both the heat being moved, as well as the heat it generates itself from its own power consumption. The amount of heat that can be absorbed is proportional to the current and time. where P is the Peltier Coefficient, I is the current, and t is the time. The Peltier Coefficient is dependent on temperature and the materials the TEC is made of. Thermoelectric junctions are about 4 times less efficient in refrigeration applications than conventional means (they offer around 10–15% efficiency of the ideal Carnot cycle refrigerator, compared with 40–60% achieved by conventional compression cycle systems (reverse Rankine systems using compression/expansion).[6]) Due to this lower efficiency, thermoelectric cooling is generally only used in environments where the solid state nature (no moving parts, low maintenance, compact size, and orientation insensitivity) outweighs pure efficiency." It is still pretty cool though
