This story is awesome. It would be hilarious if the OP ever tried to sell his laptop. I can imagine him trying to explain to a layperson why all of the drilled holes in the bottom are actually a benefit and not a problem.
- gnarbarian 12y agoThey're literally speed holes.
- veb 12y agoThey're really not. "Speed holes" by definition make something go faster. In this case, it was done to help the temperature. Not to overclock.
- gnarbarian 12y agoWithout them it doesn't run at all, so I still think they qualify.
- lttlrck 12y agoThey prevent it going slower.
- puckmunch 12y agoThey are neither red nor blue, disproving your statement.
- wingerlang 12y ago"They increase the airflow, making the computer never overheat and die" It's not that hard to understand.
- Morphling 12y ago"But they are ugly and now everyone is teasing me about them. I want a refund"
- bluedino 12y agoI would have at least put some sort of screen or filter over those holes.
- VLM 12y ago"I can imagine him trying to explain to a layperson" Its a 2011. Trying to sell that in, lets say, 2019, it'll sound a lot like when I sold my 1997 Saturn in 2013 with a hole for a ham radio antenna, in other words it'll be so old no one will care. Also they were more interested in the cracked heater core, broken sunroof opener, leaking sunroof, worn out brakes, and high oil consumption, than being worried about a little hole.
- Yizahi 12y agoIf I were the OP i would sell his "speed enhanced" laptop right after this operation. He mentions having to heat mainboard in the oven. Actually this operation doesn't work for any long term period and during each heating session he risks frying some other components on the board.
