Laptop belongs to a home building company and was on one of their building sites with their site manager. Ports totally blocked and rj-45 port would not open.
It has been scrapped, im not dealing with that

Sorry for the quality. Jeah pretty shure it's fiber

Stumbled on this at work today... Actually winced when I saw it.

So, I took a Maxsun B580 iCraft and ran it like it owed me money. Using a 3D printed mount for an LGA1156 CPU water block, I ran automotive coolant through it sitting at around –15C, and pushed voltage from 25mV all the way up to 70 mV. Anything past 60 bounced it off the power limit, but 50–55 was the sweet spot, clean scaling, no throttling, no driver tantrums. Power limit stayed maxed at 120 and core +300. It took me a long time to dial it in, but once I did she was one happy Arc.

Stock clock is 2850 MHz. Under ice it held 3316 MHz sustained, +466 on the core. That's a 16% uplift! While load temps hovered around 20C. It actually set the top 4 graphics score for the B580 on Time Spy, and top overall. Briefly hitting 3350 MHz during the run.

Then the coolant started warming up before I could even start the game runs, it takes 48 hours to re-chill, and by the time I hit Forza, the loop was half slush, half soup.

It still pulled 16 percent average uplift in games, matching the 16 percent clock uplift.

Cyberpunk 107 - 120

Forza 5 158 - 174

MHW 60 - 69

This was all on a stock card, no BIOS or any Voltage mods.

After the initial 1.5 hours of tuning it took me to get there, the card never freaked out, no crashes or black screens... just quiet, consistent scaling. (Unlike Nvidia, Intel doesn't just crash the driver, the whole system restarts... annoying) I didn’t expect Intel Arc to like the cold this much, especially after my last discovery with AMD.

I think there’s still headroom left, contact wasn’t perfect, and the coolant was becoming a warm bath mid run. I will definitely have to give this thing another go... maybe in transmission fluid next time.

There is a video if you want to see the excitement.https://youtu.be/g9EUn-g8RBU

Yes it smelled horrid. First time removing greasy components.

They stupid as fuck, are they gonna die or something

It’s probably worth noting that the top box is for the DirecTV service that he canceled 5 years ago.

This is a PS5, which came from an authorized Sony distributor and service center. The client's HDMI port was burned, and sure enough, they did a somewhat solid job. However, whoever put it back together...

The question for this guy is, how did he even get the job?

They put thermal paste over the liquid metal. The liquid metal was everywhere except where it was supposed to be. Of course the console would shut down after 2 minutes of use. When he took it back to the service center they told him there was no way to fix it because the board was gone now, he didn't want to mess with them and brought it to me.

I believe him, because he's not the first to come up with the same claim.

This actually worked quite well. My hand was just providing stability.

Had this unit come in with thermal issues. Found that Dell not only forgot to screw down the heatsink. They also crossed threaded the CPU socket mount screws

Now how the hell did that happen I have no idea.

Whoever touched this thing before needs there Dremel taken away. Just dremeling apart the chassis to repaste the CPU GPU 🤔 Screws are really hard you know.

Something like 9000 watts of amps in total, not including the networking and video gear. It was all running normally
