Yes, blue LEDs were something worth advertising on the box. Decades ago each LED colour required a different manufacturing process and blue LEDs in particular were incredibly expensive to produce. Only high-end electronics had them and that's why some products today, especially those that are marketed to the boomer crowd, still have blue standby LEDs. Anyway, when some Japanese guys discovered a way to make cheap blue LEDs they won the Nobel prize in physics for it. That's how big of a deal they are.

Don’t overestimate thermal paste. Pastes were used in other devices where cooling was needed long before first computer was built.
@bartomiej9807 Жыл бұрын
@@JohnDoe-el5ir Nope. CPUs are first items with such a large heat to dissipation area ratio. There was no need for dedicated pastes like we use now before. And there is a serious improvement in those in 20 years. You have now liquid metals, diamond pastes. What you had then was silicon based paste, which was considered premium if it had some silver in it. Another thing. I assume that chemical capabilities of those paste can be much lower than normal after 20 years from being manufactured.

They're not overestimating thermal paste generally (and even then I'd say *you're underestimating it*; JayzTwoCents vid on delidding shows that a change in thermal paste from a current good one to some magic sauce did like 5degrees!) but more saying that this stuff that's been sitting around for a decade might not be as good as it once was (and even then, the paste that came with this thing mightn't even have been good back then, just because "other devices [needed] cooling" doesn't mean they all used the same goop!)

They probably tell you to unhook the hard drive to prevent the system from booting while you boot cycle to purge the loop. You could just disable it in the bios, but instructions to do that for all motherboards at the time wouldn't fit in that small space. Much simpler to just tell people to unhook the power from the drive.

Sadly he is mistaken, the amount of heat that is produced by the cpu does not go up so it will not act as a space heater any more then it did. Worst case the cpu throttles, making it produce less heat. The only thing that is getting hotter is the cpu itself.
