    Absolutely real on the thermofisher one. We had one die once. I have a photo of it actively dying of death early this year. It’s about to get carted off as we got a rebate for recycling our old freezers.

    That day was funny bc I was able to leave early that day but I was waiting for my sister to finish her classes before we went home. So I was playing TF2 on my laptop using my work dock before my supervisor’s supervisor walked in. Luckily for me she did not care.

    We transferred all the samples to the one beside it.

    Edit: I think that was the only -80 freezer that had issues and it was probably 15 years old when it died. The newer thermo Fisher isotemps seem to be okay.








  • I also have a gpu in it (ATI mobility Radeon 9700) so there is that. Web browsing was slow but not impossible. I did use discord with my old pentium M machine. (only web bc 32 bit). YouTube did work but not well. I was using smplayer for YouTube. Also this was before everything went to av1 encoding and I haven’t tried it since.





  • Just get a thick thermal paste. By and large any thermal paste is an improvement over stock. Thicker pastes like arctic mx6 won’t pump out. I like ic diamond 7 karat but that’s out of stock. (all I have left is a random tube of it that I found in storage)

    (I do mean any thernal paste is better than stock. I used arctic ceramique 3 once on my i5-7200u laptop and it was still 3C lower than og psste temps)

    When I repasted my i5-1135G7 laptop, I dropped 10C after replacing the paste.

    All you really need is a tiny blob, one covering the igpu die, other on the cpu.
