It was just question of time. Asus couldn't be any worse than MSI. Hence this one come now. Sad Asus need to be pushed spanked by their competitors... Their reputation as THE PREFERED OC BRAND at stake. Asus own cards is almost none compatible for cross-flashing with any brands vbios versions (neither with firmware from their own SKUs). They really screwed up this gen. It's hard be on the list of shame. And Asus will stay there at least for this gen. Yep, their reputation is severely damaged. Shame on you. Another RTX 5090 2000W XOC BIOS leaks out, NVIDIA extreme OC scene is slowly waking up ASTRAL RTX 5090 2000W XOC V2 leaked, its the newer version of the bios, which should include fixed power limit, with GPU able to reach 2000W now.

Reciever started following My mobile workstation history in 3DMark results , Hi Everyone and Disappointed in the forum

Welcome to the forums!

We opened this forum so that it can be a soft landing pad for those who still surfed those forums could still mingle. Personally I wanted to keep in contact with those of like mind in hobbies that I also enjoy. Forums have become fragmented over time especially for laptops as manufacturers become more and more locked down both on software and hardware. The identity of the forum may change over time as a result. That being said we are able to keep the forum relatively light in cost so as a result we are comfortable keeping it alive effectively forever. You can always PM me if you have questions or concerns I do try to be as fair as possible in moderating.

late 2013 Alienware 17 r1 bios blind flash
hamhatch replied to hamhatch's topic in Alienware 17 and M17x
Alright I'm back, school has me real busy. Unfortunately the memory insertion method did not work. After reinserting the memory stick the laptop goes back to the single beep, never goes to 5. I heard that an 17 4700mq could reset a bios so I'll try that If there's no other suggestions. And if that doesn't work I will either replace the motherboard or sell this thing to someone with more free time depending on how lazy I am feeling that day.- 3 replies

What phone are you daily driving currently?
6730b replied to Katja's topic in Mobile Devices & Gadgets
Got a new toy (sh, great price drops for 'old' tech), Xiaomi 14 Ultra with the Photography kit add-on. Not any daily driver yet, got to learn more about xiaomi's os, but used for photography, damn impressive. As good as this review says https://www.gsmarena.com/xiaomi_14_ultra-review-2683.php That Photography kit box, thought it was just a gimmick, but provides truly useful camera controls (+ some xtra battery inside). -
i really would like to do a shunt mod on the M6800, bcs this 61W limit is annoying, temps around 70-72ยฐc.(n not lapped the heatsink yet bcs was out of 1k n 1.2k sandpaper) full load so think still 20-30W more possible for the cooler before CPU start throttling. need to check when open next time what for VRMs on the mainboard n how many amps they can deliver.

Now the end is really near. Got 2 old laptops still running perfect with 8.1, one 11 years, the other 12 years, both with their original 8.1 install. Pretty great, both hard- and software. But things start to break in contact with the real world (like it's owner? lol). Old Vivaldi and Firefox 'esr' got more and more troubles with current websites, symptoms like my Xiaomi Ultra phone usb not recognized (unknown device, nothing in file manager), etc. One impressive thing from MS (it's possible!), Defender still getting daily updates. So already bought replacements, 2x recent Thinpads, starting to set them up (like installing the good old Windows Photo Viewer, Open Shell etc lol) and migrating content. 8.1, been a very, very good friend, done so much together, will be sad to say goodbye.

Are you on the latest BIOS? I updated last week and got around to tuning it a bit more. I've found on the latest BIOS, I can now tune VNNAON manually without issue, maybe I always could and never tried. I thought I remember it causing instability when touched around launch and I never tried again. Now latest BIOS, I can push D2D up to max 40x without issue, stable. I just can't use the Asus auto voltage for VNNAON. This sample needs 1.12v instead of auto 1.012v. I had a 285K that could do 40x auto voltage, but P cores were just ever so slightly worse so I kept this 38x-39x auto chip. Now I've been testing and using 40x for a couple days and it's having zero issues. Sure it doesn't amount to much, but more mental wanting to max it out lol. It's honestly a shame Intel has killed off 1851 entirely and 270K Plus will be all they release. My guess with same crap 40x limitations in place. Panther Lake has a very high D2D apparently and they've fixed the latency issues. -

That was one of the main reasons I stopped surfing there. Idiots can run their mouths but if you engage you were treated the as committing the same crime. It was even worse with their vendor reps at the time. I hope it has improved over the years but with that site having sold it's IP several times over now the sense of identity it had is likely fizzled even moreso. -

I normally do not because people like that are not worth the effort. Nothing said can address their mental illness. I started/stopped more than once before replying, but when I noticed him being an ass to multiple people I decided it was worth the risk. The response I posted was much kinder and more humorous than the few I started to post and did not. I also pinged the moderators to draw their attention to the butthead. -
Dell Precision 7720 Refurbishment/Upgrade Project
JadeRover replied to Will's topic in Custom Builds
@Will, it indeed appears that you are missing a capacitor (compairing to pictures on the internet). I wouldn't worry about it too much, it's just a decoupling capacitor that is there to make sure that the voltage drop that appears on the VRM input when the cpu suddenly turbos (= current spike), isn't too important. You still have another capacitor in // to the one you are missing : see the schematic : If you want to replace it, you'd want to get a "100 micro Farads 25v SMD capacitor". I recommend salvaging one from a dead/spare motherboard, from another laptop, not worth it to buy a new one just for that. Make sure it is 25v and you will be fine, these are quite big and are can be desoldered without problems, just make sure to not touch the dome with you soldering irong, just desolder at the legs.- 17 replies

Dell Precision 7720 Refurbishment/Upgrade Project
JadeRover replied to Will's topic in Custom Builds
@Annihilator You can try this tool to edit memory profiles from the hidden bios "memory overclocking", you can select 2 XMP profile or even create a custom profile from the menu directly. GitHub - DavidS95/Smokeless_UMAF It should work as in this discussion, this user said it worked on his i5-8300H latitude 5591 Any way this could work on Intel-based models? ยท DavidS95/Smokeless_UMAF ยท Discussion #6 ยท GitHub And I checked, precision 7720 and Latitude 5591 share the exact same hidden memory overclocking menu (looking at the IFR of both laptop's bios dumps). I think what should work best (and for a lesser cost) is buying standard 3200Mhz ram (nothing fancy) and then uses this hidden menu to push the integrated memory controller of the CPU to it's limits by creating custom memory profile @ 2933Mhz and even 3200Mhz if it's possible. more info here, as this tool was used for preecision 7780 -> I'll try myself in a few days when I have access to my 7720- 17 replies

Installed the WV2Pro while testing on the Ultra for setup, taking the Corsair SFX SL1000 for a real run and some basic looking around. SFX 1000w has held up nicely.... Testing with the MSI Yellow tip of death adapter during Steel Nomad runs before I get around to the big transplant. Still collecting some Ultra WoW data for my archives. Verdict with MSI's yellow tipped 4 headed octopus? Not doing backflips.... Saw pin 2 dip as low as 6.8 and Pin 6 as high as 9.4... Interesting coil whine test. Connected directly to the Corsair SFX SL1000 and the Vanguard was definitely noisier than in my main case (inversely, the 9070xt is quieter in my main rig case with the P2 than with the Corsair), but when I hooked up the WV2Pro, that extra coil whine went away. That bodes very well. -

The MSI Yellow tip keep up the race. 9 out of 10 is the cute adapter from MSI. And how many MSI graphics cards suffer from bad soldering of the tiny trash? -
