I called this early on, but at least 8000 has drawn parity with 6000/6400 worse case and best case it usually is a little bit better overall but nothing to write home over. 6000/6400 shines in extremely latency sensitive games though but they are few and far in between these days.... For X3D, we've collected enough data and seen enough game bench marking to know it truly is a case by case benefit with a massive differential ranging from only running a few points better at best than non X3D to running up to 86% faster vs a 9700x showing how brutal it can get if a game really loves that X3D cache and can comfortably sit in it the majority of the time. Seriously, I'm looking forward to Intel's foray into 3Dcache with BLLC..... Tight 6000 and Tight 8000 are the sweet spots for AMD. Buildzoid, while taking his first venture into Arrowlake, talks about some bandwidth and platform memory limitations on AM5. Intel is really where you want to be to push memory and see tangible gains with scaling even up to 9000 you will see some gains G2.

Bonjour à tous, en parcourant ce forum, j'ai décidé de tenter quelques améliorations peu conventionnelles sur mon vieux MSI GT60. Auparavant, il était équipé d'un i7 4940MX, d'une Quadro RTX 3000 et de 32 Go de RAM. Toujours aussi passionné par cette machine, j'ai opté pour une ultime mise à niveau. J'ai commandé une 4060 chez X-Vision. Le premier défi a été de modifier mon dissipateur thermique, initialement conçu pour une carte MXM B, afin de l'adapter à la carte MXM A. Ce n'est pas parfait, mais les températures restent inférieures à 80 °C en pleine charge, ce qui me semble acceptable. L'installation de la carte s'est déroulée avec succès et les performances en jeu se sont nettement améliorées par rapport à la RTX 3000. Cependant, un problème majeur persiste : le ventilateur tourne constamment à plein régime, probablement en raison d'une incompatibilité avec le firmware de mon EC, qui détecte peut-être la nouvelle carte comme défectueuse. De plus, aucun signal vidéo n'est émis via HDMI ou DisplayPort. Je cherche des conseils sur les solutions possibles à ces problèmes de compatibilité. Mis à part ces problèmes, la carte fonctionne bien en jeu. J'ai également contacté Svet du forum MSI, connu pour le développement de BIOS personnalisés pour les modèles GT60. Pour information, j'utilise un BIOS déverrouillé avec le dernier firmware EC. Vos suggestions sont les bienvenues. Merci.

Me paying? Nope. Not in Hell. YouTube Music Now Hides Song Lyrics Behind A Premium Paywall YouTube Music has ended the era of unrestricted free sing-alongs by moving song lyrics behind a Premium paywall, forcing non-paying listeners to decide if words is worth a monthly fee. Shame, shame, Google.

Still a nice community !

Hello all! I just bought second hand Alienware 18 and discovered it has locked A15 bios. I mean nothing is avalable in settings and when i try to manage "unlock" it shows service tag and promt "unlock falled". Is there some way to unlock it? Or is there some way to flash unlocked A12?

After all is said and done, with Ryzen the benefit (or lack thereof) doesn't scale with the effort involved. Lots of time and fussing to get it right with a teeny-tiny (or no) gain in return. Nothing to write home about going from 8000 to 8400. Exactly the opposite with Intel memory overclocking.

yup, this forum has barely breached 2000 users, many of whom are just ghost / lurker accounts with no real activity. that and the fact that laptops nowadays are super locked down, both from a hardware (everything soldered), as well as firmware / software perspective. many of the former NBR players have since switched to desktops and only use laptops on the side as tools, but not really for tinkering anymore (i count myself among them).

Thanks!

Hello. Unfortunately, I don't have the m2010 itself, but I do have its younger brothers, the m170 and m1710. Perhaps it would be easier to use not video cards from newer Dell models with their proprietary connectors, but to take the conditional mxm3 standard and build on that? Then the adapter board would only need to have a connector for connecting the matrix and for installation in the motherboard (and the mxm connector, of course). I would also like to note that in the T7600 era system BIOS, there were problems with using Nvidia cards newer than the 7*** series. A specific example is the Alienware m5500i-r3 (also known as FUJISTU AMILO) — with the older BIOS version, the new Nvidia cards did not work, but 3.5 gigabytes of RAM were visible and Radeon cards worked. With the later version, the new Nvidia cards worked, but there was a limitation on the amount of RAM to 2 gigabytes.

'm glad that people who used a M2010 can post in this thread. There are very few of these "laptops" left, and I'd like to create a community around common problems and solutions. Thanks again to everyone who supports the M2010 and communicates here. Yes, the video card is the weakest point, but I'll say that killing motherboard is practically impossible. I personally don't use a DVD-ROM drive at all, so my mechanism is as good as new. I use RARE cpu T7600G overclocked to 3.06 ghz 1.45v and its much faster than T7600 2.33 ghz. Maybe whos know how overclock clock generator. i try find any info and scheme - but no sucess any info about overclocking. i try find similar clock gen on pinouts which has overclocing mode, but all is not compatibility with CK410M/ CK505 (SLG84450VTR 72QFN). PIN mod (Cpu frequency select table) doesnt work if 166mhz switch to 200mhz FSB. Turn up 166mhz not allowed.

The main problem is, that this community has rather few members and not everyone left is tinkering around with their laptops anymore. Like me for example. Normally, i only login once a week, because there is not much interesting activity. This is not, what NoteBookReview once was. Unfortunately. In addition, there are not many models on the market available, that can be used for modding. Almost none with current hardware. Which makes such a forum really difficult to maintain.

His case was the only one I can find on the internet with a successful 32GB being ran in the M6800. Sadly though, there's nothing to back his case other than what he mentioned.

Hello, what version the 4980HQ was? Green PCB? AliExpress SR1ZY PGA? Is it better than an i7 4910MQ? I found on the internet that many people got stuck at 16GB DDR3 with 2 sticks of RAM. I already got the newer RTX Ada to work on eDP on the M6800 with DP and HDMI out. (Just need a fixed VBIOS to enable the eDP that's being disabled by the Nvidia drivers when init)

If 5090 has the same offset as the RTX 4090 MXM then yes. Quadro RTX 5000 Aetina, PNY, ADLINK will fit too! It's the holidays for China, maybe contact the seller if an early shipping is possible or not

Just bought one from cicichen! Does it mean we can use the Quadro RTX 5000 or RTX 5090? https://www.ebay.com/str/cicichen594 cichen's shop details above! Many custom made heatsinks etc available!

Guys, I have managed to snatch an "used", basically new, Fury G10. Battery has 3 cycles, protective foils were still on, SSD had like 1 TB written. Looks like new also. No dust inside or out, untouched KBD. 13850HX / FHD / 64GB DDR5 / RTX 2000 ADA Not the highest spec, but I have paid 1150 EUR and there is still almost a 3 year warranty. In the current times, where 64GB of SODIMM RAM cost 800 EUR, I can call this a bargain. What amazes me, is how this unit differs from the unit I had for evaluation. The DPC latencies are noticeably better - not exceptional still, but much better. The fan behaviour is very good, the temperatures are fine, even the fittment of the chassis is good. The display looks horrendous, but I will swap that for something proper, probably 2560x1600 165 - 240Hz. Unfortunately that needs eDP cable swap as well, as the current panel is only 30 pin.

No, need external power + won't fit

I am admittedly and obviously completely new to the depths of actual modification of computers. Upgrading sure put pin mods and using spi clip was a lot for someone like me that just doesn’t know. I was hoping to find advice, useful information and or links to downloads or tutorials. So far Maro97 has been the only person to try to offer help. I was really hoping this was a community that teaches others and could bounce ideas off of each other. Again thank you Maro97 for trying to go above and beyond with offering a download link for a bios that would read the rtx 3080. Unfortunately wrong model. But thank you for being the only person to not make me feel pathetic and stupid.

I asked LG Korea via email about Aerominum and it's use in 2025 LG grams. They replied that indeed they used it but exclusively in LG gram 16 pro models in metal grey colour. It wasn't used in white nor black colour models, nor in any 17". Also they said they still adapted thickness and frame of display for 2026. So I guess the rtx 5050 arrow lake models do not use it because they have black colour. Also it's not yet used on lower body also in 2026 but may come for 2027. I had gotten curious because my gram pro 16 with lunar lake feels cold like aluminium on the display but usual warm on the rest of the frame. So if it feels cold it's the new Aerominum. That's also why the white LG gram pro was 1196 grams but the metal grey 1226g with identical internals. So if they go all body Aerominum it would add well over 100g, I guess the backplate will be kept in magnesium, but the keyboard frame could switch for 2027. That way may only add 40g or so. The backplate is paper thin I don't think they will change it.

Thank you for your reply. I ran hwi and checked it by manually adjusting the fan speed. The CPU fan rotates normally, but the GPU fan is fixed at 10,000 PRM and has not actually rotated.

Can the MXM 3.2 form factor card used in the Clevo X170SM work in with the Clevo P570WM?

There's a new Firmware 1.28, now. Maybe you should try it.

No, the drive will run at PCIe 3 speed in that system. If the price is the same, though, you could pick it up with the thought of maybe using it in a newer system in the future.
