for anyone who wants to offer actual advice: its a lenovo thinkpad t450 with a soldered i5-5300U that hits over 90C when running cargo compiles. I have changed the thermal paste and it didn’t do much.
Did you hawk tua on that thang?
It’s peak laptop. Don’t replace until dead.
“peak build quality and repairability” not anymore. repairbility by 2015 standards isnt great, by today standards its average to good. that’s a problem because the aging CPU can’t be changed.
Most laptops are actually getting harder to repair. And no, socketed CPUs aren’t making a comeback either. Only Framework has decent repairability.
U should buy a x220…
Then the artist searched his library for a card and put that card in his hand.
Edit: did you clean the dust out of the fans and heat sink?
I’m failing to see a problem
failing igpu (igpu == gpu is part of cpu) but the cpu is soldered on
How is it failing
explained in the description, random graphical artifacts and glitches that seem to persist across OSes
although it typically runs without failures, periodically it encounters them
if only we could replace them on most laptops.
such an i5 is still reasonably capable.
