    can’t wait to see the 27” imac that came in today..probably a bad / bent LVDS connector ..that connector is the hardest connector ever to solder…40+ pins and most techs can’t do it!!

    I have a Mac Mini 2012, i7 Quad Core. While upgrading my SSD I popped the the fan connector off. For time being, until I can get it in for repairs, I set it on a laptop cooling fan. This has worked out ok, keeping the CPU at 78-85*C. I know many people use a USB fan as a cooling solution rather than fixing the internal fan, saying they get better cooling, but I am concerned about dust. Well I just happen to have a LEVOIT air purifier I haven't used in a while. I fired it up and set the Mini, base removed on top of the Air Purifier. The Air Flow is much stronger, even on low than the laptop pad, plus it solves the dust issue. Well, my CPU is running at 45*C after using it all day including streaming. I'm currently shopping for a lower profile Air Purifier as this unit is abut 14" tall, but my God it has stayed below 50*C since I came up with this solution. I would think this is going to extend the life of this unit. I only paid $122 for this Mini so I'm really not looking to pay and electrician $100 Plus for soldering service.

    Cool, great work. Easy job for you. I would be interested in how you would connect those two solderpoints without glue, that holds the connector down on the board. I think it would be to tight for the bent-solder tip. Thank your the video. I watched it after my work to relax. Greets

    Hey Alex! Thanks for your work!
    Could you comment on why do you sometimes test GPUs with absolutely no cooling? Those components often die even with a heatsink. Isn't there a huge probability of a quick but deadly power spike?

    • @Anachronos1
      @Anachronos1 2 года назад

      Usually any chip before to be assembled in his final case is wormed up 2 times up to 400 C. and is tested after that. So "overheating" up to 50-60 degrees C. for few seconds is not critical at all. But long and high temperature (80-90 C ) can short life of the chip with years.

    • @wowhallo
      @wowhallo 2 года назад

      As long as you don't have it powered on for any lengthy period of time it will be fine. Also most modern GPUs can throttle.

    apologies Alex, I don't know why but once in a while I feel like I have to comment on all the backwards comments on here, from people who don't know history at all, to people who just repeat what they hear someone else say about Apple without taking a moment to think maybe there's another side to the story. you don't get great customer satisfaction ratings year in and year out if your products are inferior. People just have larger than life expectations because apple is expensive: but that price you pay usually gets you a decade of computer usage. I have many 2012 Macs come in my shop with repair value left in them.

      please tell me how a customer ripping a connector off, is apples fault. or do you think if it was an HP it would be resistant to it? maybe Dell has anti rip off connectors? Alienware? ive said this once, ill say it a million times. The reason you see so many apples getting worked on, is because apple sells so many computers. PCs are not one computer, they are many companies. sometimes you have to think. How does apple have such a high customer satisfaction if they're computers are garbage. simple, they are not. there are millions of apple computers that never fail. you just see the ones that do and assume (prob from watching too much Rossmann) that they are garbage.
