hello every one what is the part number of slave gpu power cable for p870tm ?

Weird I thought they all came from the same China factory, we have ~ 100 units in the UK with the quick access panel including my own and not had any problems with recent orders with the quick access base. Really handy that for basic upgrades/ troubleshooting staff have just one screw to remove (first time to allow latch to be used) where as the old precision laptops really needed an ifixit kit in each office to allow them to carefully remove the base.

Hi! I got a pro max 18 plus recently (cpu 7-265X and pro 3000 vga) after I used the precision 7740 for 6 years. I only really use it for office and the occasional games (I do not like gaming laptop looks). My question would be, if it is save to uninstall dell optimizer? From my experience power modes are not really usefull as under steam everything will go full blast even with quiet mode choosen (with same fps as in ultra) and gets very loud. Menwhile the windows 11 power modes are greyed out. Did anyone have a sollution for a little more control of the power and the fan noise? Thx!

I'll not write more about it as it's off topic, but the club of Rome B scenario of doubled resources got conventional oil sources right. Didn't get shale oil and tar sands but they are only short term fix... Copper and silver however we are actually right now approaching the limits of what is fiscally worthy to extract and the "green revolution" is bollocks as the copper and silver is too expensive so it won't happen. Also right now on oil we have an EROI of 12-13%, in 1970 it was 2%. And that's aggregate. New sources are worse while old are better. Once this reaches 30-40% it's game over and won't make sense anymore. We always extract easiest resources first, harder later or never. We are right now reaching the point where whatever replacement gets more difficult or needing more energy to extract arrives just as conventional oil is now on fixed decline. Actually oil extraction will still increase in 2026, maybe even 2027 but thats likely the final time. Prices are too low right now for significant further investment. And we haven't got any suitable replacement seing other resources also getting harder to get. We simply cannot afford expensive oil. World politics right now realises scarcity and US and China try to get resources into their realm, but that doesn't mean they realise what happens when we relatively run out of everything as energy to extract more gets more expensive right at the same time as those resources need significantly more energy to extract. Pollution getting worse, clean drinkable water less per capita. Quality sand running out, and so on... We have some good years left, maybe until 2030, but our financial system built on infinite growth may already collapse before as it needs growth to survive, that's why gold right now is rising and will continue to do so (except if we use it as silver replacement which doesn't make sense we would have way too much - the price is only justified by it's financial mean of money that doesn't inflate, unlike silver which gets used up more than extracted)... We can replace any single component with energy (also pollution), but doing so for everything that gets more rare is impossible. Also club of Rome back then in 1970 calculated an infinite resources scenario which didn't turn out better in the long run, collapse was simply later but therefore harder.. We are right on track with a 3x resources scenario and hitting more or less any marks the model back then predicted.

Can you not change the power limits in advanced bios anymore or with throttlestop?

not seen an answer, yes is a AW 330W charger, have the same for my eGPU for my old HP 8570P...

Maybe Nvidia should shake up Samsung, Hynix and Micron? Doesn't nvidia pay enough?

More good news for us Micro$lop digital filth haters. Combined with the damage Steam has already inflicted, this might be just the silver bullet we are hoping pierces the heart of the behemoth Digital Data Vampire from hell. I hope GOG concentrates all or most of their energy on Linux. We need to be done with the Redmond Reprobates and their cancer OS. Now independent, GOG is thinking about publishing games and embracing Linux | TechSpot NVIDIA needs to go out of business. I hope they go bankrupt and all of their stockholders lose everything.

We need either federal legislation or an executive order forbidding the transfer of costs of any kind to communities for any business. Be it AI, manufacturing or anything else, companies that cannot survive without subsidies or consumers living nearby footing the bill should not be allowed to operate. They need to stand on their own or die. No tax breaks or energy breaks for businesses, no free rides. Swim or drown. If their presence increases the cost of energy, they need to absorb the difference so the end result means private property owners pay no more than before they arrived. Any violators have their assets seized.

I wouldn't trust anything coming from Asus. They raised prices even though there was no need. They blamed price increases/taxes. To this day they haven't lowered their MSRP even if the retail have more than enough cards (months after months - no problem get loads of cards). They just continue same way so that the MSRP for Asus cards can be kept artificially high. No cards are going to be put on eol now. Just lower availability. Which suggests that Asus can will continue to milk at inflated prices. And HU, THEY fell into ASUS' trap. 15% to 20% fewer cards on the market doesn't mean Nvidia GPUs are going away. Just higher prices than today. Gamers/pc consumers will continue to buy cards if they have the money and patience to find what they want Ram is an different animal... Sky-high prices here home. And almost no ram in stock. Cheapo 32GB men kits go for 700-900 USD. Low end 48GB kits more like 1000-2000 USD incl tax. Yep you read right, 48GB 6000 kits for up to $2200. Nvidia's backup-plan. NVIDIA's AI Texture Compression is what PC gaming needs right now NVIDIA has updated its RTX Neural Texture Compression SDK for game developers, and it can dramatically reduce the VRAM requirement for PC games. Edit. Some fire-fighting... They want sales. "We are providing today an update to the PC system requirements for 007 First Light after the community flagged some inconsistencies in an earlier version of the listing," the developer wrote on the game's official X profile. No Need To Empty Your Wallet For More RAM: 007 First Light Updated System Requirements Lower RAM and VRAM Recommendations "After a thorough re-examination and additional testing, the recommended RAM has been corrected from 32GB to 16GB, VRAM values have been updated, and the minimum CPU line has been fixed. Additional performance targets will be shared closer to launch," the developer continued, confirming that the updated specs are now reflected across store pages. The electicity bill is already increased here. And it will be worse. More people will be forced to eat cheap cat food And not only the elderly on low pension. Spain will invest 4 billion in an AI GIGAFAB: prepare your wallet for the electricity price hike There is poverty even in one of the world's richest countries that is overflowing with money. Not a nice death, freezing to death in your own house in one of the coldest places on earth.

Yeh I think the issue is the configurator all of units we ordered have the quick access bottom door, it wasn’t easy to tell from the quotes initially. On the Uk configurator it is listed under chassis options as Dell Pro Max 18 Plus Quick Access Bottom Door The U.S. configurator does not include a Chassis Option, and it is presumed that the latch is standard and that all laptops have it, since it is pictured with the latch. Dell said they are shipping laptops with the latch, but they can't send me one because they are backordered. They offered to either refund me for the cost of the cover or send me a new laptop with the latch. Now, does that make any sense? WTF! Also, if Dell is shipping the laptops with the latch, I can't find anyone who has received one with the latch.

HU talks to Asus and other makers who are actually on the front lines and reports production slowdowns or shutdowns Nvidia steps in for damage control Rinse repeat. 🤣 Nvidia isn't "letting" them have it. They would be prioritizing their most lucrative markets. Nvidia's potential product stack covers low, low mid and low high 5050 (barf), 5060 8GB, 5060ti 8GB, 5070, 5080. Seriously though, Nvidia will not lower prices on the 5080. That isn't logical. Nvidia goes where the money takes them. If VRAM is plentiful, more for everybody but with the real world constraints in place for VRAM, Nvidia will adjust accordingly and make sure their most profitable products get the VRAM and that is NOT the 5060ti 16GB or 5070ti but the 5080 and like I said, depending on future supply issues, even the 5080 will suffer from, ahem, a slow down in production or prices will go up (or both). "Discontinue" is maybe a bit harsh from HU, but drastically cut production to the point of discontinuation or sporadic allocations is feasible. 1% production is still technically still in production but...... 🤣 In other words, Nvidia is going to prioritize their most lucrative AI market and whatever happens to be left over will make its way to us consumers.... We knew GPU shortages were rumored in December contiuing on into the new year months ago and we're seeing it slowly happen Same with RAM prices. It was rumored back in early September and we saw it happen and continue to happen Even SSDs, SD cards and more are subject to the AI reality and market forces You literally have a memory company can their entire consumer division (which was profitable) to focus on the AI market As for the 5090, all reports from overseas is supply is dwindling and prices are going up. US just beat them to the final punch first being one of the largest consumer markets on the planet. Like I (and you) have noted, plenty of 9070xt's available but if supply dries up of Nvidia cards in those ranges, AMD may face a shortage too eventually just like with the CryptoPandemic years and Ampere where you couldn't keep either brand in stock..... 2026 is going to be a heck of a ride!!!

This is related to that topic.

I won't trust this man... Imagine the pc components industri if all people will buy is an low powered Jokebook (cloud-only model) to connect to the cloud. Will AI frenzy give rise to the cloud PC? Jeff Bezos thinks so Jeff Bezos said the quiet part out loud — hopes that you'll give up your PC to rent one from the cloud.

Maybe the dead RAM sticks that Brother @Rage Set and others I have been seeing randomly is a sign of things to come. In more ways than one, we are living in the bad old days. The good old days are behind us now. I'm glad my sticks are on water. My derrogatory reference to "heating blankets" instead of heat spreaders for the worthless garbage stock RAM heatsinks is finally being recognized.

Hi, I'm having some trouble with my P775TM1-G. It was doing fine and then just stopped working the other day. The symptoms are as follows:- I turn it on....then, Black screen, no back illumination, no BTO splash screen. Keyboard does it's little light dance for 20seconds or so. Keyboard goes black. Fans do a little self test and just stay on low, maybe 5 or 10% Then the fans spin up to 100% It stays in this state for about a 1 min. Then the machine turns off. There is no caps lock light etc I've seen this post... ...which initially filled me with confidence, however, the key difference is that in the post above the machine didn't shut off. I've done the following to try and fault find:- No Battery with good 330w power, same result . Power drain (no battery, hold down on button for 1min), inc. removing CMOS cell, same result Spamming F2 has no effect, same result Removed all RAM (all 4 sticks) and SSD, same result Reseated CPU, same result Reseated GPU, same result Fn+D on start up, same result Literally the symptoms regardless. I thought it was the GPU at first but since going though the fault finding list, I'm honestly stuck. Any help or ideas would be welcome. Thank you 🙂

Basically mirroring @JadeRover. Unsupported GPUs will always show as "unknown" in BIOS. This is normal. You also need to do an INF mod to install the NVIDIA driver. This is also normal when you don't have a "supported" laptop model / GPU pairing (at least with NVIDIA). I used to do this by hand, but these days I believe that the tool "nvcleanstall" can do it for you.

Hmmm.... All this is a huge blow to HU sources credibility. And HU prefered to be in front. Why would nvidia let AMD have the whole mid/higher end cake? If so then Nvidia would need to reduce the prices for their xx80 cards. Or come closer to 9070XT price point. Update: Statement from NVIDIA What changes are occurring in the GeForce ecosystem given the current memory market? Demand for GeForce RTX GPUs is strong, and memory supply is constrained. We continue to ship all GeForce SKUs and are working closely with our suppliers to maximize memory availability. - according to NVIDIA to Hardwareluxx Btw. One of the biggest retail in Norway don't have 5090's to ship out (Ordered - Delivery date unknown). Zero and nada https://www.proshop.no/Grafikkort?s=5090 But you still have 5090 cards from other shops. A couple of hundreds ready for shipments... Flood of different 9070XT. Not so much of 5070Ti/5080. It sems people want (nvidia) 16GB cards while they can get them closer to org MSRP.

I received the Arrow LakeGram 17 on Monday, tested it for a day then reset Windows, put it back in its box and applied to return it (as I'm entitled to do in UK) but there's no response from LG yet. As you anticipated, it failed to meet my expectations being both slower and noisier than my gram 14 with the same internal hardware. I spent some time trying to figure out why the smaller notebook perfoms better than the bigger one. I've put my findings in the attached note (with a copy in the box with the gram 17). The key points are (i) the gram 14 has a higher power limit than the gram 17 (I wonder if LG has used the same BIOS for both Arrow Lake and Lunar Lake) and (ii) the gram 17 has about 2/3rds of the open vent area adjacent to the fan compared to the gram 14 which could well be reducing the fan effectiveness. Strangely, for what is effectively the same hardware platform, the 14 has an AMI BIOS and the 17 has a Phoenix BIOS. I'm trying to resist the temptation to try the gram 17 Pro on the basis that while it should have better cooling, the same sub-optimal BIOS settings will still apply. Gram 17T observations.pdf
