    I am giving this Small Gift away for the most helpful and supportive member to NBR community from all sections, to express thanks and appreciation.

    Note: This is not a donation, it's really small gift from my heart to my brothers and sisters at NBR.

    NBR Administrator Edit: As a disclaimer, NotebookReview/Tech Target isn't affiliated with or responsible for this contest in any way, so anyone participating does so at their own risk.


    Please vote to the most helpful member to you from the list, if not on the list please post his name and I'll add it to the list, then you can vote for him/her, any votes posted will count even if not added to the list.
    I'll wait for 2 weeks, and the voting will be closed.

    The names on the list are just an example, they already supported me in the past, that's way I listed them first.

    All members are welcome to participate, no restrictions.

    The idea is new, hope that you guys like it.

    To supervise the voting:
    @Charles P. Jefferies @custom90gt @Dannemand @toughasnails @win32asmguy @ALLurGroceries

    New Rockit Cool Delid & Relid kit for Intel 6th/7th/8th Gen CPU's, I don't know about the 9th gen if supported or not :rolleyes:.
    Shipping on me, no worries :).

    Well you forgot Falkentyne, Unclewebb, Johnkss,Raiderman,t456,hmscott, sicily428,BOB from BOB of all trades(YT reviewer), Ownordisown.
    Thanks for the nomination, I appreciate it but I've only BGAs and no desktop. But I'll be very happy if the delid tool ends up with a person who has a desktop in hand and they're missing a delid tool which is taking a long time to ship from China.
    One thing which is mandatory for the winner is, to post his/her benchmark results after using Delid tool by Dr. AMK.
    Great Giveaway idea and I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

    I’m honored to even be on the voting list, thank you very much.

    However, I do not need the delidding kit as I do not have any desktop chips, I only support old legacy Alienware. Let it go to somebody who will use it.

    maybe activate the marketing drumrolls and point to this thread in other, more populated threads :)

    also, dont forget that this delid kit in a notebook forum would only apply to users with a highend desktop cpu machine. arent that many of those around anymore with the BGA wave crashing down on us.

    I'd vote for any member in good standing here on NBR, no need to single out any particular person as being the "best" and deserving of the "prize". Then that person being the most helpful or deserving should get all the goodies given away? :)

    I'd rather see it be a simple random selection of those that want the item, as they would be in need of it, for many already have said they don't need it so want to be removed from the list.

    I think @Dr. AMK is a kind and generous person looking for a deserving person to end up with his spare goodies, and I want him to know I appreciate his efforts. :)

    Thanks for the advice, I think you are right,
    It's a new idea anyway, and all suggestions will be appreciated to improve it.

    For all members, anyone needs this tool, please post in this thread and we will select one to win the gift. Just post your name and why you need it.
    EDIT: But after approval from the final winner from the voting, if he don't need it, otherwise the voting
    wiener will get the gift.

    I was trying to add him, but it seems that I reached the maximum limit. But the vote for D2ultima can be counted in posts. He has 1 from you and 1 from me, so he has 2 votes for now.

    I'll try to ask the Mod to add him.

    You can eliminate me because I don't have LGA desktop/laptop and only have BGAs.
    I don't think many of them are even aware this giveaway exists after tagging them!

    We can edit the poll if you want. So far I am seeing: Remove Ultra Male and Vasudev. Please confirm, with any additional edits you want that I may have missed.

    Edit: Went ahead and removed Ultra Male. Vasudev wasn't yet on the list (duh, Dannemand :oops:). Feel free to request any other edits you want (within reason, of course).

    Thank you for your kindness.
    Please remove " Others: Please post the member name so I can add it to the list" ... so I can add someone instead if needed.
    And
    D2Ultima should have "3"
    Really appreciate.

    No problem. It's done.

    Oh, I mean the changes to the list are done. I cannot edit the votes, if that's what you wanted. That would be bad! Those who "voted" for D2Ultima before he was on the list will have to click the poll.

    For the records. There is so many helpful people on NBR so it's difficult to put one against another. I just clicked on every one outside me :)

    If @Mr. Fox will do the same and vote for everyone except himself, you will be on top again. I hope he do that otherwise I'll have 2 winners :) You are so kind and honest bro.
    I like the way you said my name, AMK and I like to change my name, please let me know how. I think no need to use any titles between the family members. I'll use my real name instead, with such a respectable community like NBR I trust this is not an issue at all.

    You are right, I can't imagine living in such very cold environment, I spent my all my life living in very hot region, I don't know what winter will looks like anymore. God save all of us from the Climate change and its consequences.

    I can somewhat manage in hot environment but surviving in a cold environment a complete no go! Our body can't take it!
    Atleast @Papusan don't have to repaste his children's BGA PCs because out the box temps will be manageable. A51M will sell as hotcakes to keep everyone warm!

    OK, consider them all have 2 votes, one vote from you and one from me, please make sure that you vote if anyone of them on the list. Unfortunately I can't add more coz of the list limitations.

    Very honored to be mentioned here. And very impressed by the generosity of @AHMED KARAM ! I wish I had the time to be helping here at NBR more. My poor AW17R1 has sacrificed a lot to just become an ancient relic on my desk, and I'm sure others have given far more than that to the forums here! I look through the list here and see a slowly dying breed. I sincerely hope the next gen cpus will bring back glory to portable gaming... ryzen 9 3850x in a 17" DT replacement would bring the fun back for me... the death of MXM standardization is what has me allocating my time elsewhere unfortunately.

    Helping others always been respected, let me know all about your old laptops and I can help you to sell them, you can PM me anytime with all details, I think this is the right time for someone like you to upgrade.
    Wish you all the best.
