    ki8aras reacted to elcapitanpdx in Need to re-glue my Short Circuit Sweats pocket.   
    Hey All,
    I'm pretty sure I caught the side-back pocket on my sweats on a chair and separated the 'rubberish' material that outlines and seals this pocket. It's the same as what's on the sweat jackets. I'm looking to reglue this as they're just fine other than that. Can anyone advise on what type of glue I should use? I could make some guesses but if someone is actually knowledgeable about this I'd prefer that input. Edit: I meant to include that if anyone knows the name of this type of material that would be helpful as I can do my own research from there as well.

    Intel ARC's take a bit of tuning and sometimes some advanced setup to unlock their full potential, so I would definitely advise an Nvidia or AMD card for a first-timer

    another popular option is the steam deck oled ,granted with less performance than the ally, but also cheaper and with better support for accessories and software (not to mention the screen which is miles ahead)
    be careful though! once you go oled, going back isn't easy

    ki8aras reacted to ivanrcks95 in A quick and easy 4c drop in temps by removing my cards LED bar.   
    This was just a fun curiosity experiment, that ended up with great results. For the longest time outlets like Gamers Nexus made comments about certain cards blocking a lot of airflow by having the sides of the cooler blocked off. My particular card has the same "issue", there is a small gap between the cooler and the LED bar that goes across, but it does definitely block a majority of it. I decided to see if it 1 - could be removed and 2 - if it will make a difference. Removing it was very simple, 6 small screws and a plug later it all came off, and the difference it made was not insignificant. I wish I recorded all data I had before, but I did this mostly for shits and giggles not thinking it would actually make a difference, so i dont have actual screenshots of the before results, but without changing anything else, fan profiles all being the same, I saw a 4c drop in temps. With both attempts I ran cyberpunk with RT on for 30min, and the edge and hotspot temp both dropped by 4-6c, going down from 71c and 90c to 67c and 84c respectively, those are the max temps. Average temps were more closer to 4c all round. Surprised how much of a difference its made and how easy it is to do it. I also noticed that XFX stopped putting this LED bar on the 7000 series, so maybe they noticed these results too.
