Thanks to GameMax for supplying one of their Iceberg AIO watercoolers as part of our GameMax demo build! Despite only being 120mm, this unit provides a marked improvement from the AMD Wraith Stealth cooler in performance as well as noise!

Another long one today, was asked to overclock an ageing gaming rig to get a bit more out of it. Consider this an introduction to overclocking... We go through how to get started, what values to monitor, and what values to change. This isn't a master class, but with this method you should be able to get at least a modest overclock out of anything.

Assembly today - this HP came in with a busted fan, causing a "The system has detected that a cooling fan is not operating correctly" error message on POST. The top case (palmrest) was also busted, so we're replacing both and chucking in an SSD for good measure.

Firs ttime attempting this. Type-C connectors are harder to lift than I expected, but got there in the end and learned a lot on this one!

These things aren't new by any means, but I've been putting off buying one for years. For anyone who does soldering on a regular basis and doesn't have one of these - you're missing out!
I've left in the initial practise that doesn't really achieve much to show how these desoldering guns can and can't be used effectively. Although they can help in clearing solder from anchor pins, they're not a magic bullet. It seems more suited for cleanup after wards - but that alone is invaluable for making replacement easier.

I was fixing this build just before Christmas, and while it wasn't a super interesting solution, I thought I'd try a ramble video where I just waffle about what I'm looking at.

I've lived in fear of having to disassemble a MacBook Pro Aluminium display assembly, but it's not so bad really.
This laptop has no display output, so I set out to replace the screen cable. Unfortunately it was a failure, the fault wasn't the cable, so I tried an alternate LCD as well, and that didn't work either.
In this instance, I believe the logic board is at fault. The laptop lives on, as it's DVI port works.
Despite the failure, I've put this video up as the tear-down is still valid for anyone attempting a similar repair.
Disclaimer: I didn't break your laptop, you did.
