I post corrected then.

Yours may be a laptop. Mine is a little 7" x 7" x 1.5" "Nettop". I got
ten degrees lower temps on it by performing this process alone:

Mainly involves complete disassembly, and an enlargement of all the
ventilation holes in the case and internal shield.

So much for temps. Batt life will be increased by your method, but you
should see just how much current difference there is between the two, as
I do not think you get more than a percent or two.

Sure they do. Some folks cannot handle that they do not get immediate
response and go out of their way to get real or imagined gains.

I didn't make it up.

Folks are just too damned PIGGYfied these days.

There is nothing wrong with what you did for those of us that are not
sociocentrically brain dead.
