[QUOTE="Digerati, post: 701270, member: 59833"] I am sure most sites are professional. But, for example, if you look at Consumer Reports reviews, they purposely send out "secret shoppers" to various retail outlets and buy samples off-the-shelf just as you or I would. This is to remove even the [I]appearance[/I] of any impropriety. It ensures the manufacturer did not send a "cherry picked" sample to the reviewer. Unless the reviewer buys off-the-shelf samples, this is still a possibility. Consumer Reports also never accepts any advertising revenue for any products. This again removes any chance of influences or even the appearance of influences. Most computer component review sites don't have the resources or staff to establish such bias-proof protocols, regardless their integrity or intent. Nah! That's inaccurate and very misleading. The mechanism used in notebooks to secure the HSF assembly provides plenty of pressure. Notebooks are mobile devices. They get knocked about. If they didn't provide enough pressure as you claim, the heatsinks would be sliding all over the place all the time and that is just not happening! Also, you are suggesting notebook makers don't use quality TIM in the first place and therefore, needs to be replaced. That is also false. Is the absolute best available? No. But it does not have to be either. If what you said were even remotely true, virtually all notebooks would be overheating under normal use. And by "normal use", I mean the use the notebook was marketed for (including gaming). And again, that is just not happening. Also, the normal notebook buyer does NOT overclock their notebooks. You are trying to use extreme exceptions to prove your point. Exceptions don't make the rule! So using them in an attempt to justify your comments is simply misleading. You don't know me so don't pretend you know my qualifications or how the percentages of my technical experiences are distributed. :( [/QUOTE]
