    I'm just making this thread to say thank you to everyone on this forum who has posted so much useful advice and shared their knowledge over the years. I knew next to nothing about how to fix or upgrade my laptop before coming here and had tried other forums with mixed results. I can now completely disassemble this laptop and put it back together. I've swapped out the motherboard, gotten rid of the broken Blu-ray drive, swapped out the CPU, reapplied thermal paste, and replaced the palm rest. I've also finally gotten this overclocking thing down good enough for my needs. I have just figured out how to use task scheduler to automatically overclock my GPU with Afterburner, overclock the CPU with ThrottleStop, and set custom fan profiles with HWiNFO64. I learned all of this from reading through this forum (and maybe watching a Youtube tutorial or two). The posters here are excellent people, and I just felt like I should say thank you.

    Thank you so much! :)
