Droppie [infosec] 🐨:archlinux: :kde: :firefox_nightly: :thunderbird: :vegan:Pooter running again now; system pkgs updates done, data copied back from Lappy to Pooter, so far all seems ok... but i remain apprehensive til further notice. Vendor has, i feel, stiffed me a bit. The unit i ordered was accompanied online by a picture unambiguously showing it was a 0.6 amp job. The one that was delivered today is a 0.2 amp job. The original one, now dodgy, is 0.28 amp, so not only did i not get what i wanted, it's not even as powerful as my original. Furthermore, the actual heatsink item has slightly fewer fins, spaced slightly further apart, than my original. Both facts together make me suspect this unit might be intended for an Intel LGA 1150 i3 cpu, whereas mine is Intel LGA 1150 i7. The vendor's site had the facility to select the appropriate motherboard cpu socket type, eg, LGA 1150, LGA 1151, LGA 1155, LGA 1200 etc, but no facility to specify i3, i5, i7, i9 etc. That is, a dodgy web design by accident or design, & i seem to have fallen into the trap. I thought about ringing the vendor & chucking a tanty, but realised it would not help ofc, & anyway my hands are tied. Best case scenario would have been vendor apologised & offered to replace it with what i actually ordered, but... natch they'd need me to send the received one back to them. I can't do that... i can order stuff online & have it delivered here, but every time i do it [over the last 22 years i've been doing so], i accept i'm gambling, coz if items are defective or wrong, i just have to grin & bear it... coz i can't get myself to a post office to do the necessary stuff for returns. Sigh, being fucked in the head is such fun.Given the preceding, i decided i had nothing to lose by bunging this new unit into Pooter & giving it a go. If it can't adequately control the cpu temperature & i have to again shutdown & revert to Lappy to plan my next steps, then so be it. So far, it is holding the temp well [26 C], but i can see it is doing so by running ~1000 rpm faster than the old one would have [~2600 rpm atm, with only browser, Thunderbird, GnuCash, KeePassXC, Goodvibes, text editor open, & thus low load]. Even when i ran a full system update the temp only peaked at ~45 C, which is actually good. So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.<a href="https://infosec.space/tags/SadPooter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SadPooter</a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/overheat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#overheat</a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/cpu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cpu</a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/coolingfan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#coolingfan</a>

My pooter's PS is 700W, so i knew that was not a relevant limiting factor here, but the single reason for my conservative decision to replace with an exact match is that i know nothing about the current rating of the rest of that part of the circuit. In other words, whilst i knew i did not want to buy either the 0.18 or 0.20 A options for fear of inadequate cooling from their lower power than mine, my temptation for the 0.60 A option [with implied possibility of better cooling due to its higher power] was countermanded by my anxiety / uncertainty over whether the rest of my existing cpu cooling fan circuit was safe with the extra amperage. Maybe i'm being ridiculous, & 0.60 A would be perfectly safe? 🤔🤷‍♀️<a href="https://infosec.space/tags/SadPooter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SadPooter</a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/overheat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#overheat</a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/cpu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cpu</a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/coolingfan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#coolingfan</a>

The problem is that vendors are being extremely loose with the truth. The same silhouette comprises multiple discrete part numbers, of varying amperage. Mine is 12V 0.28A, which sadly has proven to be difficult to replace. Other silhouette stable-mates of very similar but different part nos are 0.18, 0.20, & 0.60 amps; these ones are all over the internet. Many vendors have advertised my exact p/n, & it's not til i zoom in on the pictures to read the ID spec info that i see they're one of the other amp ratings. scorptec.com.au is one of the many vendor sites i'd already searched, & drawn a blank. Ta anyway.<a href="https://infosec.space/tags/SadPooter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SadPooter</a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/overheat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#overheat</a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/cpu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cpu</a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/coolingfan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#coolingfan</a>

Droppie [infosec] 🐨:archlinux: :kde: :firefox_nightly: :thunderbird: :vegan:Well, have sat on this for several days, hoping for a better idea to hit me, in order to avoid having to buy the single local option available whose price is clearly a monumental rip-off. Assuming still no better 💡 by post-dinner tonight, i shall just have to swallow my annoyance, hold my nose, & allow myself to be ripped-off, otherwise, still no working pooter.

Droppie [infosec] 🐨:archlinux: :kde: :firefox_nightly: :thunderbird: :vegan:Initial results rather dispiriting. I need only the new fan & motor, not the heatsink too, but so far all results i've found for apparently right model are for the complete combo. Any bare fans/motors so far are all the wrong models. Additional irritant; heaps of results are for Amazon listings, & i will never under any circumstances support that terrible company. Shall go & sulk over dinner & movie, then resume later.
