    If you're unsure what I meant in the beginning, ultimately I was unable to improve thermal performance with Nanogrease and Kryonaut likely do to the factory thermal paste still in great shape as it was only about 6 weeks old. But, later down the road this will change as the paste dries up over time, especially for those who buy their laptop new but the actual laptop was assembled long ago, sometimes 12 months. I see this happen all the time just based on the comment section alone across several teardown videos featured on B.O.A.T.

    one thing is for sure, people aren't goping out to buy the newest gaming laptop there is, because of price and usually the budget gaming laptop comes with bad TIM anyway, so i always change the TIM on laptops for people, as they are bad and always over heating. Edit: also these guides you make and release for the public is good, and thats why i also subscribed to your channel

    Hello, I want to inquire about the Lenovo Legion Y545 laptop. My question pertains to the fact that when I hold the laptop from the top, I notice that the lid doesn't fit snugly. In other words, I expect the screen to be flush with the wrist rest when I hold the laptop, but it remains floating. Is this possible with this type of laptop? Thank you for your assistance.

    Hello bob . Been waiting for my question.
    Thank you in advance .
    So my mech 17 rtx 2070 when i unplug the charger the rtx card is turning off and i have a frame drop from 100 to 10 fps . So why the card is turning off and when i plug it again it is running again to full power .
    Ps when unplugged the speed clock is 300 and when plugged the speed clock is 1650 more or less .

    • @BobOfAllTrades
      @BobOfAllTrades  5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Gaming unplugged is not recommended. Very few gaming laptops performance is maintenance when unplugged. Usually it’ll drop to 30fps. Check your Control Center software as it likely defaults back to some sort of Eco mode when unplugged. You’re still not going to get good performance unplugged. That type of draw on the battery would surely end its life quickly.
      On the flip side, the MacBook will run full bore unplugged still. A few other Windows based machines will too but not many and especially not gaming laptops.

      The 17” bigger battery fits in some of the 15” models. Not 100% sure what ones as the m.2 layout differs.

    That was too painful to watch. Next time, after you remove your ring (assuming it's metal), try flipping the system on it's top, then lifting the bottom cover off the system versus the entire computer off the cover.
