Mr. Mark, you can relax!
I just fired up an old 2014 i7!!!! laptop! Not some of this new crapper-wear silicon! 2,400 MEGA-Hurts! 4 Cores, but more importantly 8 THREADS!
It is ready to run HARD as it has had 6 months of rest and you should have seen the dust and bugs that flew out of that thing with some real compressed air! Not your normal "can of blow". I fired up the real blower in the GARAGE for this effort! A full metered up to 90 PSI of pressure (U.S. standard)....
These old school laptop fans are loud though, but I am willing to sacrifice.
This post is brought to tEaMaNaNdTeCh, by the letters B and E and E and R! Not from some chilled fancy pint glass either. These are basement room temp 12 MEGA-OZ (sorry, regular aluminum 12 oz...) CANS!
I am late to this party as I don't check this forum but maybe twice a week. And this is my first "Sprint", if you did not detect
Go TeAm!
