    • @Grimmwoldds

      I duct taped two USB powered fans to the backside of a Dell 3007 WFP-HC and blocked off all the vent holes around them with duct tape(forcing the air to travel to the top/bottom/top-center inside the casing to exit, cooling the entire monitor rather than just around the fans). It was malfunctioning due to excessive heat(these monitors run HOT), and now through the magic of duct tape it works perfectly.

    Dawid, your genius knows no bounds. After watching most of your videos, I thought , heck, I can do this too. I'll do a video of using food products for thermal paste, ( ketchup, mayonnaise, etc.) Or maybe connecting each individual wire (no plugs allowed,) with hot glue. The possibilities are endless. I will concede to the master and let you continue to impress the masses. To many "computer experts" take themselves too seriously. Keep doing what your doing and entertaining us and we'll keep watching.

    You should have used a pair of vileda gloves! Position them crossed over the pump block, stretch them a bit for elastic tension and tape the "ends" to the motherboard! Using vileda is always permitted
