diana_coman: EOD Report: I had an unproductive day. First thing to mention - I surfed for 2h in the evening. In the morning, almost 4h were spent cleaning off the thermal paste from the cpu and hea tsink. Then I went quite overtime with my article, since I had only a very faint outline from yesterday (3-4hr) I only spent about 1.5 hr on TheFleet, 5hr 15min short of my plan. I worked on improving the channel-snagger - i saw that ind |

eed it throws errors for some networks that I can connect to with my client so there may be many available networks missing. |

~ 3 hours 25 minutes ~ |

whaack: what a mess of a day indeed. |
| |
~ 6 hours 44 minutes ~ |

whaack |
diana_coman: looks like the motherboard is likely used. the manual says it comes with 4 sata cables and an i/o shield, both of which pcgamingcr did not send. |
| |
~ 16 minutes ~ |
| 16:04 |
whaack |
BingoBoingo: (or anyone) Is there a preferred method you have for applying+spreading the thermal paste? |
| |
~ 48 minutes ~ |
| 16:53 |
BingoBoingo |
whaack: I've always gone with what the paste manufacturer suggests for the type of chip in question |
| 16:54 |
BingoBoingo |
On the documentation part of their website or in the print instructions that came with the paste, normally there's a breakdown of what they recommend for different chip types |
| 16:55 |
whaack |
BingoBoingo: great ty. i would not have known to look there |

one of the mounting holes for the motherboard seems almost dethreaded. i took off the mobo and tried to see if i could get the screw in at all, and i was able to, but it took an unusual amount of precision |

whaack screwed in mobo successfully |

~ 1 hours 33 minutes ~ |

whaack: I guess you can call this ordering stuff through pcgamingcr a truly multi-learning experience then. |
| 19:23 |
whaack |
diana_coman: yupp |
| 19:24 |
diana_coman |
whaack: what's the plan+status on your computer? |
| 19:25 |
whaack |
i'm currently practicing putting the heat sink on the processor before i put on the thermal paste. |
| 19:25 |
diana_coman |
right; the bigger plan though? |
| 19:27 |
whaack |
diana_coman: My plan was just to keep working a few hours every day on it. |
| 19:30 |
whaack |
diana_coman: I am over my allotted time for today but I still would like to keep going and get the heat sink installed with the thermal paste before wrapping up. |
| 19:30 |
diana_coman |
whaack: uhm, so yesterday the few hours were to clean the paste, today a few more hours to screw the mobo in and tomorrow a few more hours to... put the drives in, or what? |
| 19:31 |
diana_coman |
do you have some clear idea of all the steps required and why/how you choose "what next"? what are the parts and where they go and why and all that? |
| 19:31 |
diana_coman |
whaack: did you take photos? |
| 19:31 |
whaack |
diana_coman: yes i've been taking photos along the way |
| 19:32 |
diana_coman |
do you have also notes re what you did on which day and how long it took? |
| 19:33 |
whaack |
diana_coman: and yes a few steps took quite an unexpected amount of time. i hope the last few pieces will all fall together quickly. |
| 19:33 |
diana_coman |
(why and with what results should be in the notes too) |
| 19:33 |
whaack |
diana_coman: no, I may have taken a few but they are spotty |
| 19:33 |
diana_coman |
ah, hope, that thing to hold on to for dire lack of anything else. |
| 19:36 |
whaack |
diana_coman: (I can confirm I do have a few scribbles on the disassembling process) |
| 19:39 |
whaack |
diana_coman: And my full plan is weak, it is just my memory of redoing what I undid. |
| 19:40 |
diana_coman |
whaack: myeah, meaning your full plan is not a plan just like the disassembling process was probably more of an accident than a process and so on. |
| 19:41 |
diana_coman |
whaack: the next question being of course: did you at least... count the parts? or you'll end up with a few remaining outside after you close the case, lolz. |
| 19:42 |
whaack |
diana_coman: I have them in one spot |
| 19:50 |
diana_coman |
or so you... hope; not like you can actually tell. |
| |
~ 21 minutes ~ |
| 20:11 |
whaack |
diana_coman: yes, I should have counted the parts including all the screws for multiple reasons even if it is unlikely that I will lose them |
| 20:13 |
whaack |
I will do that now and publish a plan for building my computer as my article for tomorrow and otherwise get back to working on TheFleet for now. |
| 20:15 |
diana_coman |
whaack: more to the point, remember that basic part of being able to undo/redo? It *includes* a properly documented disassemble phase if that's your starting point; as in: disassembling happens with pen and paper at hand, parts get noted down and have their storage place; there's little more frustrating than ending up with "can't find a screw" or whatevers. |

Logged on 2019-12-26 12:57:51 diana_coman: whaack: also, as a basic engineering rule, for everything you plan to apply/assemble, you should have from starters everything required for the removal/disassemble really. |

~ 17 minutes ~ |
| 20:33 |
whaack |
diana_coman: understood. i did this only partly, i have some notes on the order of steps and i have an organized spot for items + pictures, but it was not done thoroughly and some steps are missing as well as the parts list. (sorry for the delayed response, someone was at the door) |
