That moment when......

You know that great feeling, when you finally do that thing you meant to take care of months ago? What's one of your tech moments that, when it was finished, just had you make a sigh of relief? Anything from a particularly annoying bug fix in a set of code to getting your grandmother opening a web browser! Share on of your euphoric moments (maybe someone will get an idea and fix something themselves sooner that is would have been done).

 

 

- I noticed my laptop was running significantly hotter than normal (62C idle!). After putting it off, went to a store and bought an air duster. Ten poofs of dust later, my computer is running 15C cooler. Both a relief that my computer wont die as easily now and a face palm that I didn't do this a while ago.  <_<

computer would get hot now and then and the cpu fan would go into panic mode and sound like a truck passing on the road! ... eventually i got a gig saw and cut out two 80mm fan holes and installed two fans (wired in series so they run quite) (one of those hp mini itx systems) ... shaved off about 17 degrees celsius ... :)  

(1) high frame rate (2) ultra graphics settings (3) cheap...>> choose only two<<...

 

if it's never been done then i'm probably tryna do it. (((((((Bass so low it HERTZ)))))))

Similar issues but I invested in a air compressor, just take the computer outside and dust be gone! Yes, I'm careful not to ruin stuff, love seeing the dust cloud that develops.

I roll with sigs off so I have no idea what you're advertising.

 

This is NOT the signature you are looking for.
