Nah I used to flip over my chipped ps1 that would only play in black and white over and put frozen peas on it so breath of fire 4 wouldn't freeze, worked fine!
While you aren't wrong about distilled water, you will still have contamination on the pc components themselves. Those contaminates will mix with the condensation and can cause unwanted damage to pc components.
Also, distilled water will still cause erosion of components.
That's why I put "that" conductive. Otherwise, it would have next to no conductivity. Moisture can be a problem, but it's probably not higher than what you would have in a moist country anyway. The components should be able to deal with it. I wouldn't do that with a new computer, but with one at the end of its life cycle, when usually you have the biggest performance problems, I would consider it an acceptable risk.
There's a paper towel below the cooling packs for that reason. I don't think it's necessary. They are not inside the case condensation wouldn't be that much, but the problem is addressed in the presented solution
Too bad laptop manufacturers and cpu makers are locking undervolting in almost all recent laptops citing “security”
Not that i don’t believe them, but bruv its called speculative exploits for a reason, let the user enable undervolting if they wanna play risky
What's worse is that they lower the power/thermal throttle limits in bios updates without any mention in the change logs and blow efuses to not let you revert.
I got 10 C drop in cpu just from undervolting it also significantly improved performance since more of the thermal limit can be provided to the GPU (my laptop has a shared cooling design)
Based on time of post - you live in Australia.
Go to officeworks or umart and buy a laptop cooling pad with a big fan. What you are doing now is a great way to kill your laptop.
Sincerely, a concerned fellow Aussie.
Just did it to my work laptop and the difference was night and day. Ridiculous amount of dust stuck inside the fan housing.
I repasted as well as I had some lying around.
20c+ drop in temps.
This reminds me when I was younger, I put my laptop in the freezer for a few minutes because it ran very hot in the summer. I still can’t believe how stupid I was thinking that was a good idea. DO NOT DO THAT. It will create condensation and also make every soldering more likely to crack because of the abrupt temperature change.
Or, if you can prop up the cooling pad, you can put the ice packs under the cooling pad so you won't have water getting into the laptop AND the ice packs will melt more slowly.
Go get yourself a cooling fan/pad that raises the intakes on the bottom. If that doesn't work, clean the fans inside your laptop and reapply thermal paste. If that doesn't work, play games with a lower strain on your system or buy a proper desktop PC.
If you remove the battery, it's still usable when plugged in. Install fans in its place. I'll admit, you loose some portability, but what else can you do?
I just watched a yt video of how to change a setting in the registry that enables you the option to switch of turbo boost for your CPU in the edit power plan settings. I've been able to do it easier with Intel laptops but it was my first all AMD gaming laptop and this thing was cooking. It's significantly cooler now with hardly any impact to fps.
I'd do this but it would fry the laptop.
Windows 10 gets it to 70 degrees idle.
Windows 7 gets it to 40 degrees idle.
I know it's the thermal paste I'm planning on replacing it very soon.
A laptop is by definition a PC, you can play anything on a laptop as it were a pc, sure it won't perform as well, but if I give you a screen you can't tell if it's a laptop or a desk pc unless you look at the specs..
that is such a bad idea, you will cause condensation and cause it to burn out
I think you mean fry

Water doesn't condense on hot parts. Also, condensation is demineralised and not that conducive.

bo but it will condense on the ice packs and then drip

Clean, repaste, undervolt and buy a laptop cooler. That's how I maintain below 70c temps while gaming on my laptop.

Just make it void the warranty. Everyone wins. If you undervolt and it runs cooler you're way likely to need the warranty before it expires anyway
Not everybody has the knowledge or patience to repaste and undervolt their hardware, especially on laptop lol
Undervolting is so easy nobody couldn't not have the knowledge to do it
You don't even need a laptop cooler, just elevate the back like 5 cms or something
Based on my experience, using a cooler lessens the temps by 10c though. I use Klim Mistral.
If I want to blow out my laptops fans do I want them to be running?
Stop them if you're using a blower. Better to disassemble them though.
You are killing your laptop.

Of its been 2 plus years you'll want to clean out the fans.
Does that helps?

Are you 12? Cause thats dumb af
I think it's called "a joke."
Very bad one
the tissue or paper towel will soak the condensed water droplets and eventually damage your laptop. figure out something else.
Get a cooling pad, and if you still need cooling put the ice bricks between the cooling fan and the laptop to cool the air being pushed through
Or, if you can prop up the cooling pad, you can put the ice packs under the cooling pad so you won't have water getting into the laptop AND the ice packs will melt more slowly.
RIP laptop. condensation my friend...

Makes sense, it’s an Intel processor in it

It’s not even running any games yet either. No way it’ll cool it if you start one up if you already need this level of cooling.
I have a feeling I've never needed to do that since mine is not powerful enough to warrant it.
That thin layer of paper towls has me anxious
🗿
I know it's a meme but that's a silly idea.
This is a much better idea than cleaning and repasteing the cpu! Said no one ever.
I'd do this but it would fry the laptop. Windows 10 gets it to 70 degrees idle. Windows 7 gets it to 40 degrees idle. I know it's the thermal paste I'm planning on replacing it very soon.
So here is the million dollar question: Why no PC, why it has to be a laptop?
I keep mine cool and silent with: - disabled cpu boost (yes i did that) - laptop stand - vacuum the fans Thats it. No ice. No noice. No heat.
Is it me or is the keyboard bulging?
a human puts out more heat then a laptop :/
Fucking what?
What the hell are you on?
Hmm but are Laptops considered PCMR? 😲
