That's a bummer then, thanks yall for the inputs

I have a 3080ti, I'm not sure about the hdmi cable but I can switch to displayport if needed

I recently bought a new 4k screen to run dual monitor with an old 1080p monitor, both 27 in. But because the resolution scaling now the 1080p is only 1/4 of the screen and makes anything I drag onto it unusable. IS there any fixes for this? I'm running windows 11 home.

worked like a charm, thank you so much man

I play pubg mobile (please don't judge) on my ipad and sometimes I just want to watch a movie or listening to music. Is there a way I can stream my audio on my ipad onto my pc via cable? Free is always better. p/s: so far I use the air stream thingy on pc, it works fine but there is a huge delay so I would rather try connecting it via cable to get rid of the delay.

It is portable, just take the laptop off, wipe the pipe of a bit and put the bottom housing on. Personally I dont mind putting on the 5 screws.

And I'm not planning something like milling or what LTT did. Something like a loop and a long copper pipe as a block should work. Add it into my laptop stand and have the weight of the laptop pushing the 2 together with some thermal paste in the middle.

I was thinking if I can get the heatpipes exposed, stick a block onto those pipes and just run a simple loop, I think I can give the thermals some headroom. Since alot of heat will be put away from the pipe by the loop, relying less on the fans and rad.

I did repaste and undervolt, and I got down like 10C. Was thinking of some other ways

I was trying to get the temp from my Alienware laptop down. And I found this black plastic wrap covering the heatpipes. Does it have any functional purpose and is it ok if I just take it out? I was thinking take it out, expose the heatpipes and maybe slap on something like a fan or a block to cool the pipes, getting my thermals better.

I do try to mod it as much as I can but within the original package (being that it's still portable and within the same housing). However, buying an Alienware I never planned to put it on my lap (obviously it's thick, heavy and way too hot). I did plan to buy a desktop but portability is too important.

I monitored with 2 software just to be sure - NZXT cam showed high 80s to 91 - XTU shows mid 90s Thank you, I honestly did not know about the power delivery circuit issue.

So I have the Alienware 13R3, it has the i7 7700HQ with a gtx1060. It does run hot while gaming tho. I did redo the paste with mastergel nano and I used XTU to undervolt the CPU (-0.120V so far). During stress test it runs completely fine with 85C avg and max of 95C. However, during gaming sessions, the CPU does throttle here and there quite frequently( which I think might be the GPU heat adding up). Here are some questions I have: 1. I see that there is a thick plastic wrap around the heatpipes, can I remove them? (Linus' new vid suggested that it was to keep it comfortable for human laps) 2. Is there something else I can do? (adding a fan to the heatpipes, "water cooling", etc.) Thank you so much in advance.

I'm deciding between the soundcore liberty 2 pro vs the original airpods. I have an ipad with s10+, both pc and mac (use it for phone mostly). I do make phone calls so airpods' mic do really appeal to me.

I'm building a PC for streaming PUBG, I was thinking 9700k pairing with a 1660super, 16gb ram for 1440p at somnewhere 90-120fps. For cost efficiency I'm thinking maybe move to a 9600k but idk if the lower core count can handle the streaming part.
