1. The lounge is for the CodeProject community to discuss things of interest to the community, and as a place for the whole community to participate. It is, first and foremost, a respectful meeting and discussion area for those wishing to discuss the life of a Software developer.
The #1 rule is: Be respectful of others, of the site, and of the community as a whole.
2. Technical discussions are welcome, but if you need specific programming question answered please use Quick Answers[^], or to discussion your programming problem in depth use the programming forums[^]. We encourage technical discussion, but this is a general discussion forum, not a programming Q&A forum. Posts will be moved or deleted if they fit better elsewhere.
3. No sys-admin, networking, "how do I setup XYZ" questions. For those use the SysAdmin[^] or Hardware and Devices[^] forums.
4. No politics (including enviro-politics[^]), no sex, no religion. This is a community for software development. There are plenty of other sites that are far more appropriate for these discussions.
5. Nothing Not Safe For Work, nothing you would not want your wife/husband, your girlfriend/boyfriend, your mother or your kid sister seeing on your screen.
6. Any personal attacks, any spam, any advertising, any trolling, or any abuse of the rules will result in your account being removed.
7. Not everyone's first language is English. Be understanding.
Please respect the community and respect each other. We are of many cultures so remember that. Don't assume others understand you are joking, don't belittle anyone for taking offense or being thin skinned.
We are a community for software developers. Leave the egos at the door.
cheers,

So my CPU needs to be rebonded to the cooler using "liquid metal" - properly this time because it wasn't done right from factory.
Please accept our apologies for
the repair delays you have experienced. We know how critical it is to
have your Lenovo device repaired as quickly as possible and we
appreciate your continued patience and understanding.
Apparently they can't find liquid metal.
I've got a guy in Florida who has worked on a ton of these Legion laptops. He charges a reasonable amount to redo the thermals on it, and he'll even dial in the processor's clock and voltages for you on your shiny new i9. He can do it all without voiding the warranty, and people are singing his praises on the Legion Discord server.
My current plan is to wait and give Lenovo a chance to do right by me.
This guy in Florida is my plan B.
Not my favorite position to be in - having to go outside official channels to get reliable work done, but I've heard bad things about Lenovo's service techs. Like, they'd be better off working a deep fryer.
I guess as long as they don't destroy it I'll give them a chance, but I may insist on watching them work on it.
Ugh. It's a bad place to be when I'm more inclined to trust "some guy" than Lenovo.

I have heard about fried motherboards caused by service people not used to liquid metal paste, after spilling some in places where it should not be

Yep, and I really hope they don't screw it up, because this particular bit of silicon die is lovely. I've undervolted the caches by 100mV! And it's still stable. That's great. Silicon lottery. Now if it was just bonded correctly my temps would be fantastic.

You're going to trust a Florida Man with your pride and joy? 
Given that your portable is still under warranty, I don't see how you can avoid going the official route. The question is why a new portable needs servicing. Apparently Lenovo's QC is not all it should be. 
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

Yeah, he may strap a gator to it and power it with meth. 
The QC I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt. Everybody makes a bad batch once in awhile. It's what they do about it at the end of the day that is the measure of their product.

My first thought - will it run Doom?

Adobe Creative Cloud might have finally met its match.
