While the Mill Park incident was an extreme case, dog attacks are more common than most of us think. Monash University figures show that almost four Victorians are hospitalised daily as the result of a dog attack. And the numbers are rising, with a 56 per cent increase in attacks leading to amputation, broken bones and open wounds in the five years to June 2018. Surprisingly, most attacks happen in the home. Monash University’s Victorian Injury Surveillance Unit found that almost 57 per cent of attacks happened in homes, compared to just over seven per cent on the street. The RSPCA’s head of operations, Tegan McPherson, says dog attacks can happen for various reasons and the type or size of dog is not an accurate indicator that it could be aggressive. Aggression is often linked to training, socialising, owner behaviour, temperament and underlying health issues, There are steps you can take to keep you and your family safe: Never approach or pat a dog without the owner’s permission. If approached by a strange dog, let it sniff you and don’t make eye contact. Always supervise young children around dogs. Tegan says toddlers are the most at risk of dog bites because of the way they approach and try to play with dogs. “Throwing their arms around a dog, burying their face in them, climbing on their back - these are all things a predator might do and are seen as a threat,” she says. Learn to recognise signs that a dog might be stressed. Growling and barking are obvious but excessive yawning and holding the tail high or between its legs or laying its ears back can also be signs the dog is stressed and might become aggressive. A dog that freezes and stares is in the most heightened state of stress. If your dog is normally calm then starts to demonstrate fear or anxiety, consult an animal behaviourist or vet in case there is an underlying problem that can be treated. “Dogs can have pathological changes in the brain due to pain or illness which can trigger aggression,” says Tegan. If a dog lunges at you, turn sideways and use your arms to protect your face, neck and body, and use a bag or a jumper to create a barrier. If bitten seek medical attention, no matter how minor the bite, to prevent infection. When your dog reaches three months of age in Victoria, it must be registered with your local council and that registration needs renewal every April. If your dog hasn’t been registered before, it will also need to be microchipped first.

Does it everleak out

@@jaymesc4436 mine didn't, but you have to be very careful with the amount you use! Less is more and it's a good idea to put some form of insulation on caps and other exposed components in the cpu's PCB

Across the board I did not notice a significant increase in fan noise.

Yes.

It runs cool at 55-65 Celcius when idle. TDP is 45W. The fan almost completely silent in light task. i7 quad on T420 always thermal throttled at 97 Celcius and then it gradually reduced the speed before stable at 2.3Ghz. all cores at 85 Celcus.

where to buy the processor?

i also have t420 and i want to upgrade

@@pratiklondhe5167 ebay

except the i7-7600 has a hardware vp9 decoder, and sandy bridge cpus don't. something to keep in mind if you're watching youtube.

the X30 series takes sandy bridge and ivy bridge cpus, sandy is a year older and runs hotter, but isn't horrible. The 3612 & 3620 are suggested for the T430 because they have a lower tdp than the other 4 core options for that socket. All sandy bridge 4 core cpus are of the higher tdp and will not play nice with the stock cooling in the T430, but the 15 inch W530 and T530 will have appropriate cooling, but at that point they probably already came with an ivy bridge that out performs whatever sandy bridge cpu you may throw in there.

It's on my to-do list, unfortunately everything that's been going on lately has put me a little bit behind schedule.

Ivyrain?

The stock heatsink should be fine as long as you aren't putting a super hot processor in.

If I get ahold of one then I will definitely be making a video about it. Eyeing up a W520 that's on Craigslist but I'm not sure if I'll get it.

eBay.

X230 is definitely a sleeker and more portable machine, but the T430 has more upgrades available and is just more versatile (typing from mine now). Which one is better for you would depend on your planned uses. I've thought about doing a video of some sort on one of those Macs but haven't found anything interesting enough to talk about.

Honestly at this point it is a crapshoot. You can probably still find used/refurbished/new old stock genuine Lenovo batteries around; these will probably be the best option. If not I *would* try to recommend a certain aftermarket manufacturer over another but the vendors and brands of those batteries seem to change all of the time.

That price is about what those are going for at the moment. With the 3612QM you shouldn’t *have* to upgrade your heatsink, since it is still a 35W CPU.

The T410 will not accept more than 8 GB of RAM. The T420 and later will take 16. Processing power has more of an effect on battery life than RAM, that’s why Ultrabook laptops can last for 10-20 hours while a full power mobile workstation can only be used for a few hours under heavy load. If you don’t have the 9-cell battery (the pack sticks out the back), I highly recommend it because it increases the battery life and doubles as a handy grip when you’re using the laptop.

Thanks for the reply. And thanks for the reminder about the 8 GB maximum. I did run the Crucial system analyzer on it but I had forgot that fact. Knowing almost nothing about computer systems, I had just assumed that decreasing paging would improve speed and battery life. I have noticed that Intel advertises a lot about more power-efficient CPUs but I didn't realize how important that was to battery life versus the amount of RAM the system is running. Oh, and by the way, I just bought a T440 P. Yes, I love that thing. They're built like a tank and as you've shown, the internals are very accessible for upgrading. I'll be looking for much more content from you, and searching your archives, for everything about changing the back cover, palm rest, screens, SSD…, Etc., Etc. Keep that excellent content coming!

The standard fan would be fine, but you can get the dedicated GPU cooling assembly to keep things a little cooler.

Availability of the processor is never consistent with any given seller, so for me it’s easier for the buyer to look up the processor on eBay rather than send a link, usually by the time anyone sees the link that seller is no longer offering it for sale. But if you need to know, the processor I put in is a 3612QM.

I usually don’t go above 1080p, because, well, the T430’s highest resolution screen isn’t even 1080p so there’s no reason to waste system resources decoding a video it can’t even display at full size.

As I’ve probably said in the comments in that video, 1080p is too high of a resolution for that small of a screen to me. Yes Windows 10 has scaling but it still wouldn’t look right. For now I am more than satisfied with the current IPS upgrade. I am eying up doing the IPS mod to the X200/X201. Best of luck with your X230T upgrades and thanks for subscribing!

Thanks bro!

Hey. Whats your situation with a X230T???? Are you happy??

Planning on doing a video about that sometime in the near future.

T440p takes 1080p screens out of the box, the T430 needs an upgrade kit to be able to accept 1080p screens (but I did this with mine and it was well worth it).

Overheating shouldn’t be a problem if you use good thermal paste. Will it run hotter than the stock i5? Probably, but will it overheat or thermal throttle, probably not.

cg sather I have a 3740qm 45w chip in my t530 with integrated video heatsink. Seems ok but haven't run benchmarks. I've gamed w it on expresscard egpu and pushed the CPU sometimes but never felt heat.

Meissnerflux I installed a i7-3740qm like yours, I also have a dGPU NVS5400. I’m using my laptop for 3d modeling and rendering, now the cpu temps in the nineties when rendering with cpu at 100%, speed stays at 3.5hz. A couple times it went over 102C, with thermal throttling results. I think I did the thermal paste right, used Arctic 4. I have Intel XTU installed, doesn’t seem to do much. Any suggestions on lowering temps without losing performance? Install fan mgmt software? XTU won’t let me undervolt. Also, now my dGPU is the weak link and I’d like to do the eGPU. How did you do yours? GDC EXP to express card? Any tips?

i7-3632QM.

There is an adapter kit you will have to buy for an IPS display to work. More can be found on the ThinkWiki article "Replacing T430 screen with a better one".

Stock one worked fine for me.

Haven’t taken a close look but the laptop has never gotten uncomfortably hot even around the processor and cooling system, so I’d say it’s well within reason.

I upgraded my T430 w/ 2 core i7 to a i7-3632QM 4 core, 8 logic processors, and found my Thinkpad runs noticeably cooler than before, using the stock original fan/heatsink. Works for me.

Depends on what sort of eGPU you plan on using. I recommend the 3612 or 3632QM processors, since most of the other quad core options will run hotter than what the T430 was designed for. The older hardware of this system will be a bottleneck for modern GPUs.

T440p is definitely easier to upgrade and performs better on the surface. You can upgrade the display to a FHD IPS if it wasn't configured with that from the factory. T430 has the classic keyboard as an option, can use an external GPU and has the ExpressCard slot for expandability, it has the ThinkLight, hot-swappable UltraBay, and the more classic design.

No, the T430s uses soldered processors.

I used a 3612QM, it and the 3632QM are only 35W chips so they don't get as hot.

Have you hand any issues with over heating? I'm thinking i might want to go with a 45 watt instead of a 35 watt

@@ethanrosenbaum3186 In my humble opinion, stick with the 35 watt for solid reliability and longevity.

90W worked fine with mine. I didn't have to use a better heatsink.

@@SebisRandomTech Fewf, good to know!

@@SebisRandomTech Out of curiosity, which fan model did you use?

@@michaellk2254 To be completely honest I don't remember. In my experience there isn't enough of a difference between models for it to really matter.

It might be able to run, but it might not be playable. If you use an external graphics card with this then it could be doable.

Not really. Get an average of 3-5 hours with a 9-cell battery.

That goes over the processor.

Sebi's Random Tech i know the fan goes out it i know. Theres a little square piece off the side of the fan im guessing thats the heat sink?? It had thermal paste on there too when i took it off

@@thinkdifferent7469 Yes, that goes over the processor.

A modded X220? Go on...

@@SebisRandomTech Thanks for the replay. They replace the stock CPU with the i7-3612qm. Additionally i'll get also a FHD 13' Screen.

No. The T430s uses soldered processors.

Like I said in the video, the heat sink is the one meant for T430's with a dedicated GPU. Even though my model doesn't have the GPU, using the GPU heat sink can help keep temps down a little better than the stock cooler. The regular heat sink will do fine though, and as far as I know the CPU won't overheat even with that.

Thanks for your reply. I look forward to upgrading my T430. I'm going to max out the RAM and install a SSD. I'm thinking about upgrading the screen to.

The CPU spec sheet tells you what its TDP (35W, 45W, etc) is. The best ways to keep it cool are high quality thermal paste and good application of said paste, and adjusting the fan curve using something like TPfancontrol to make the fans run faster, getting more air moved.

You will need a higher wattage charger. 65-90 W, or 90-135W

@@SebisRandomTech I thought the same and ordered already one from Amazon with 90W. But what bothered me is that I nowhere read about that. And that makes my PSU with 60W useless now. Anyway, many thanks for the advise. I have doubts if it is really necessary to update the bios. My genuine battery supported the core i5 for more than 6h. Now I am thinking about the 9 cell battery slice that would extend the battery time again. But I am really worried to brick the bios with the hack from your other video. Can you point out which is the flash chip on the Mainboard, that I can dump with an external programmer? As far as I remember there were two.

@ChAnTi I’m not too familiar with the T430’s motherboard, or with flashing directly to the chips/dumping from them.

@@SebisRandomTech received my new 90w charger and works for chaging and laptop at the same time. *thumbs up*

I actually just got my hands on the T530 and am planning on swapping the 3612QM from my T430 into this. I may hold off a bit on doing this, as the T530 and W530 share the same chassis so I may just swap in the motherboard and heatsink of a W530 for the better graphics performance and higher maximum RAM.

Every once in a while one will come up from within the U.S. I recently acquired one that way. Look out for both the 3612QM featured in this video, and the 3632QM. There are also some faster ones that will work as long as you keep a close eye on the thermals.

@@SebisRandomTech thanks for the reply, i just ordered one on ebay from china, have you heard anything about these processors? maybe there bootlegs

No, the T430s has soldered processors.

Yes. Fairly easy mod to do.

El procesador si pero el motherboard en la T430 solo soporta como maximo 16GB

The dGPU cooling assembly.

Haven't really been able to do a thorough test of that, but it still lasts several hours doing normal tasks so the only time battery life is heavily affected is probably when it is under a full load.

Quite good I guess. But, as I discovered, there are quite a number of screws you have to remove before the top will come off that are not mentioned at all in the video.

I thought I had mentioned it, however I might have edited it out because some of my instructions were redundant. I’ll have to look back through the video and see.

With my mixed-use (web browsing, watching video, etc) I manage to get around 3-5 hours with the 9-cell battery. Your mileage may vary.

Huge fan of him, always get excited when a video of his is in my Subscriptions feed!

Stick in a T420 keyboard.

They are the same socket.

I hope you will get the answer from Sebi. I use a T430 and it works well even in 2024. Today i ordered the i7-3612QM and 16gb of RAM. It only get better.

Typing this from mine right now ;)

I upgraded my laptop and it woks just fine 🙂

Yes, any Ivy Bridge mobile CPU.

It was either the 04W3269 (Toshiba) or the 04W3270 (Delta). It was the discrete GPU heatsink (despite my system not having descrete graphics) to allow for presumably better cooling. In my current system I just have the standard integrated heatsink and it still cools just fine.

Thanks!

@@xBenJi no reply yet.

DDR3L sticks should work. An Nvidia heat sink should help keep things cooler. Make sure to do a good application of thermal paste. I have a 3632QM in mine now and it almost never gets close to maximum temperatures.

I don't *think* you would have to patch the BIOS. A dual pipe heatsink should help with preventing things from overheating.

@@TechDave I'm still foreign to the world of Thunderbolt, so I can't really help you there other than saying that it's Thunderbolt II. Just make sure you get a dock that uses the mini DisplayPort type of connector. From what I've read it's about twice as fast as ExpressCard so with faster GPUs you should see a substantial improvement.

Whether it’s a good buy or not depends on the price and your needs. If it’s on a heavy discount then it might be worth it, but if it’s close to the regular price there might be better options out there.

thanks, it's just about 10% discount.

The i5 to the i7 that Lenovo originally shipped is not a huge upgrade, as it is still a dual core CPU. The i7 I put in is a much faster quad-core, so there’s a much larger difference in performance between it and the original i5.

Btw, this is the T430 shown in this video too, so I’m not sure what you meant by “the next model”. I talk about the -s and X series ThinkPads using soldered CPUs in some of my other videos.
