    It'll be worth it! I'll test and if the temps are so good for my RTX 4070 then you should buy! It's a new design, adapted for the new RTX at 120W TDP, did you see the picture?

    135 USD is too much, I'll better stick with solder, copper plates, spare Alienware heatsink, dremel, etc. I am curious to see what cicichen comes up with only to see the design he went with. Nah, I'll pass, already got one heatsink from him.
  4. SuperMG
    Or you can get the 135USD, 3 heatpipes pure copper heatsink from Cicichen. I wasn't successful with undervolting and downclocking an RTX 4080 150W so I preferred to get a better heatsink for it... Mine M4800 heatsink is already shipped and I'm waiting. Also my backlight mod v2 package was lost during transit and I don't know if the manufacturer will remake new ones...

    For now I am taming my 4060 using: nvidia-smi -lgc 210,1620 nvidia-smi -lmc 210,8002 (JASON X-VSION said that I should try 1350 mHz clock speed, but I stopped at 1620, GPU doesn't go above 65W which is pretty comfortable. VRAM doesn't get toasty too).

    Hello, is there a battery inside?

    The only frankenmod vbios are for RTX 4080 and 4090, the rest looks like retail. Yes, only the A3000 from X-VSION works, maybe an early vbios for this one or just a special one without any 4G decode. I mean... Who's gonna pay 2k for an A4500? When you can have a 3080 or 3080 Ti MXM for cheaper? Plus they support eDP on the DP_D. Also no one tested the RTX Quadro Ampère and Quadro Ada in eDP, maybe these cards will work without any issues? Could be a false information: Maybe the iGPU doesn't want to allow cards that support 4g decode and does "conflicts" with the mux switch? I tried the RTX 4070 in UEFI no legacy OPROM in the M17X R4 and without the backlight mod cable. The laptop doesn't do any 8 beeps but there are no LED status either. So I think the MUX switch was waiting for the backlight but it wasn't there so the laptop was stuck without any beeps (tried it for 20s, GPU barely got warm, not very hot without the heatsink). Usually the laptop would beep at his first 5-6 seconds of being powered on. Does anyone have the Parade's MUX Switch schematics so I can confirm my theory?

    none of the professional cards will work. only the frankenmod 3080/4070/4080/4090 etc. I bought P5000 for more testing on R3. Will try to get RTX 4000 HP as well from the other member. there's no laptop that will work with any pro cards from ada most likely without a proper bios mod

    A valid comparison would me 9700x vs 9800X3D to really see what X3D brings to the table. I do know in FO76 the 9800X3D toasted the 9600x I tested worse than the 14900KS so X3D is magic sauce for some games. Still haven't had time to work with the 270k I picked up from @Talon but I'll get to it soon. The testing I did on the 265k and 5090 was so smooth closer to 13th/14th gen. At 4k the lows are, as always, equal or better than X3D. That has always remained consistent in WoW but not Fallout 76. My wife took my Alienware 4k OLED as an upgrade from her 1440p Asus IPS and I started using a new 3rd gen Asus flat matte OLED which I prefer over glossy curved (she actually prefers curved). So having been running WoW at 4k on both, even with details dialed down the 9070xt is almost constantly pegged at 99-100% everywhere in WoW but what I do notice also is the 5090 spends a lot of time well above 80% utilization and many times close to 90% so WoW is definitely giving it a workout on the level that would make a 4090 or below GPU bound at 4k in many instances. The 9950X3D2 is useless for WoW and DOA for the vast majority of price/performance tasks. $900 for 2-3% better performance on average over a 9950X3D..... At this stage of the game, 270k is the price/performance king overall and depending on games/resolution and some tuning, it is even the better pick over X3D chips for gaming (situational gaming scenarios notwithstanding of course). It isn't pretty over here..... I keep exacting YoY budgets and the cost difference from 2024 to 2026 in what I'm paying across the board is pretty telling from groceries to eating out and more. Yeah, I used PL on my 7950X3D and MSI 7955HX3D. Never heard of CPUSetSetter since I haven't been on a dual CCD in quite some time. Let's see how AM6 pans out..... Looks like Galax might be safe.....was always part of Palit since 2007... https://videocardz.com/newz/palit-releases-statement-galax-kfa2-and-hof-brands-are-to-stay

    Microsoft confirms Remote Desktop bug in April's Windows 11 update Windows 11's April 2026 updates are causing Remote Desktop display errors on multi-monitor PCs. Microsoft offers two workarounds for now.

    Hmmm. Galax has left the PC market. Same did EVGA in the days. Thank's Nvidia for your effort to support gamers/tech enthusiasts and the oc'rs community. GALAX, Creators of Iconic HOF Graphics Cards, Exits PC Business After 30 Years, Palit Takes Over Business & All RMA Support GALAX Is No More, Graphics Card & PC Brand Exits The Industry With Palit Taking Over Control Palit Consolidates Galax Brand Operations and Closes Hong Kong Office Palit has confirmed a significant shift in its brand strategy, with the Galax graphics card brand now being repositioned to focus primarily on the Chinese market. As of April 1, 2026, Galax has been fully integrated into the Palit Group’s internal operations, effectively ending its role as a widely distributed global GPU brand. The change could mean that Galax-branded GeForce RTX graphics cards will no longer be commonly available in international markets. With the brand’s strategic shift, it remains unclear whether the HOF series will continue in its current form or be adapted for the Chinese market. US/global China first. Exactly as Nvidia with Jensen wants.

    Hello everyone! What are your typical boot times for a Dell Pro Max 16 Plus (MB16250)? Mine is frustratingly slow. Otherwise working great. The power up sequence looks like this: 0. sec: Simple Dell logo for ~9 sec after pushing the power button 9. sec: "Secured with Dell SafeBIOS" text also appears for ~19 sec 28. sec: Windows loading animation for ~23 sec 51. sec: Finally at the logon screen I have the latest BIOS that was set to defaults. The machine has 128 GB CAMM2, so that can probably add some extra boot time, but this much? I can see the ~19 sec "SafeBIOS" time is not unusual: https://www.reddit.com/r/Dell/comments/1sx9xtz/the_new_dell_pro_max_laptops_spend_18_seconds_in/

    Motorola Moto G Stylus 2026 (with freebie buds and tags). Current phone doesn't want to read my SIM anymore (second time this month) and that's a good enough excuse for a replacement.

    Hi, That's great job! Too bad I sold my alienware 17 already, I would've tested it with the RTX 3000, as the TDP bug happened on it.

    I dual boot but consider Kubuntu my primary operating system. Winduhz exists only as a necessary evil. My intent is that Windoze is only to be used as a temporary stop gap solution. It is unfortunate that so many people define an "upgrade" as moving to something newer. All too often newer is not better, but newer is a regression. This is precisely the situation with Windoze. Newer is not better. Windows 10 was a downgrade from Windows 7. Windows 11 is a downgrade from Windows 10. Each build update introduces things that nobody wants that only Micro$lop benefits from. More control for Micro$lop and less freedom for end users. End users are not customers. What they want is irrelevant to Micro$lop. The laziness and resistance to change of human beings is a well-established fact and it is something that has allowed Micro$lop to survive. It's easier for the average person to surrender and submit, and Micro$lop know that gives them freedom to do things that suck. People will continue using an inferior product that many of them despise because it requires no effort, even if it costs them money to take the lazy and lame path that uses none of their brain cells, requires no effort or learning, and allows them to avoid change. They will stick with what feels most familiar even though doing so it not ultimately in their best personal interest. Ignorance is bliss.

    Just happened out of the blue. Ironically enough, I just created the "Improving Cooling / Fans Upgrade In Clevo" thread, and 10 hours later my Clevo P751TM1-G suddenly dies. What happened: So I was watching YouTube, then the laptop suddenly turned off. This was accompanied my some very quiet sound of, well I don't know how to describe it plus everything happened too quickly, maybe a click, maybe something else, I don't know, but there was some quiet short strange sound I'm quite sure. Then I tried to turn it on, I think the power LED blinked orange, maybe 1 time, maybe 2, I don't know. And then, the entire system stopped reacting to anything in any way. Pressing power button - nothing happens. Power adapter is plugged - no LED light, no anything. It pretty much seems just dead. I've currently removed the heatsink, CPU and GPU. I think, there was a burnt smell a bit to the left from the center, where the power port and CPU are, but the smell was weak, could feel it only when holding my nose a few cm away. Or maybe this is the standard smell of heated electronics? And, the only strange visual thing I've noticed is the strange gradient of that black thing surrounding the main GPU chip. You can see it on the attached images. Does this look bad, or is it normal? In any case, I tried to plug the charger with these parts removed and see if the orange power LED is back, and it's not. I guess in order to reach the power block i need to continue the disassembly, but for now I'll just wait for some replies. I'm ready to disassemble further and take images of various parts upon request. What could this be? Can it be repaired or replaced? What/where should I check? I would be thankful for any tips or help. I really hope the solution can be found. If it's the end, it will be a huge loss, and a fullstop of doing all tasks, processes, duties, work, and pretty much everything, until a new barebone+motherboard is found-ordered-received.
