Opened up a 200GB Maxtor drive I had laying around (never buy anything Maxtor). It's got bad sectors up the bum and gets scalding hot while running. But, it's still pretty on the inside like all HDD's.

I just noticed that the arm looks like it's floating above the platter in the 3rd picture, but it's actually right on it. Optical illuusionn

sNiPeRbOb · Apr 14, 2010

Snapped some shots of my new motherboard.

my favorite picture of the day :cool:

More in build log in Sig...

(FIH) The Don · Apr 15, 2010

decided to take of the cooler and apply new thermal paste, and that was a good ideaXD

maybe i should lap it?

DOM · Apr 15, 2010

i just redid my paste

(FIH) The Don · Apr 15, 2010

you also had a ton of paste on it?

DOM · Apr 15, 2010

yep but good thing its wasnt all hard lol

also did you see my pics above :rolleyes:

(FIH) The Don · Apr 15, 2010

haha its also a new cardXD i put on some mx2, saw a 8c drop

TotalChaos · Apr 15, 2010

that card had way too much paste on it, kinda makes you wonder what robot screwed up and said lets put 3 squirts on this one

>>>(FIH) The Don off topic but how does that Kingston SSD perform, I saw it in your specs and have one like it arriving Monday

(FIH) The Don · Apr 15, 2010

they always do imo, EVERY single card i have owned had too much ont, but thats okay, better that than nothing :laugh:

uhm it works okay, but its not top notch for OS disc, mine kinda "laggs" every once in a while, and honestly, i cant feel any difference from my 7200.12 to this, except that i dont have to wait on things to be done, all programs etc starts when i click the icons, no waiting on loading etc

ste2425 · Apr 15, 2010

whats the best way to clean of the thermal paste from a chip? especially if its gone a bit hard

(FIH) The Don · Apr 15, 2010

high % alcohol like 90% or higher, for the hard part on the chip it self i use either my credit card or something similar, some hard plastic

Wile E · Apr 16, 2010

I use ArctiClean. Stuff is amazing. Even takes off those hard, pink, gum-like pads you find under some chipset coolers. Lasts a long ass time too. I've had a single kit for like 2 years now.

Thanks Wile E!
I have always used alcohol, but this looks like a better solution :toast:
