How time runs away, topic from 2022. Back in the cabin in the woods, the old 4G equipment still alive, but the mobile network antenna not that good, down around 30 to 50 Mbs is fine for my use, but upload is substandard, f.ex. sending an email with some attachment takes ages (if it does not timeout). Tested with 4G router + some phones. 0.4 Mbs!? Was around 15x better last year, they'll maybe fix it someday if enough users complain. Anyway, looking at speeds folks get on fibre these days, suppose this is one of the joys of living halfway offgrid, some cosy feeling of sometimes being back on dial-up modem :O)

Maybe this "new" fan is shorting out the 5V power rail. Try without the fan...

To end this topic - the Gram is now just used as backup - battery charged to 80% and put into a drawer. I used it for 4 years 9.5 months... But yeah, exchanged keyboard (which means also means part of the case) due to the e letter not working, and battery once. mSD card reader was broken - and one of the two USB-C ports wars broken (happens when lying on bed/sofa with USB-C cable plugged in and standing on it kinda - too bad no USB-C on the other side). Screen had many dead pixels by then - and the case had a fracture (on the part hat I got newly with the keyboard). But otherwise it still worked reliably, and the keyboard on the standard gram surely suits me more vs the Gram Pro. I still make much more typing mistakes on the Gram Pro - it's just too shallow. Otherwise the Gram Pro is better in everything - but 4 years newer model too. Let's hope for the Gram Pro to make it to 5 years too. Sadly lunar lake not panther lake but I could not wait another year and did not want to wait for the Panther lake X7 model to drop in price until affordable (if ever).

My ASUS ROG gaming laptop suddenly stopped powering on after I replaced the CPU fan today. The old fan was making noise, so I removed it temporarily and the laptop was still working fine. Today I installed the new fan, connected everything back, and after assembling the laptop, it now shows no power at all. I’ve already tried: Checking charger Reconnecting battery Holding power button Reopening the laptop If anyone has experienced this before or knows what could cause it, please help. Any quick troubleshooting steps would be appreciated.

You mean, the RTX 2000 Ada need 4g decode to work?

I sold the shunted 5090FE and the EKWB waterblock only for $2,350 on overlock.net. Just wanted to get my money back out of it. I actually still have the FE air cooler and FE box. I kept those so new potential owners couldn’t turn around and scalp the card on eBay or somewhere else. 😂 The 5090FE is still shunted and someone is still running it as far as I know.

That really sucks. It's bad enough that there are so many hackers, scammers and identity thieves that are foreigners, but a fellow American doing it makes them that much more worthy of brutal and merciless retribution. Their predatory mindset is very similar in practice to serial rapists and child molesters and they deserve capital punishment. Did you sell your 5090 FE or did something happen to it?

He sounded like someone with an accent from a different state. Like up north to me. But really good English.

The risk is that these cards must need 4G decode to work on + they're crazy expensive for what they are. Yes they have DP on DP_D and I don't think this will fix the "EC fan controls".

Zotac makes some of the best 50-series GPUs. Build quality and PCB design are excellent. Glad you chose that one. The scammers of the world all deserve a bullet to their head. Did the scammer have a foreign accent or did his speech sound like he was from the area he claimed to be from?

It's a DP_A, how can I receive its video output? Any receiver for SiBeam?

Do you think it might work better than the regular 4060? Although, admittedly, there might not be the temperature sensor issue with that one.

IIRC there's a WIDI card (Wireless display) that used to be on AW M18X, was on the DMC port (the weird port). That or either a TV tuner card with a coaxial cable.

how do you find and change the address of the SMBus temp sensor?

@Mr. Fox and @electrosoft I almost sent the money for that scammer 5090 Astral. I had talked to the guy on the phone and he made me feel super comfortable. It’s crazy to even say that lol. But I held back waiting for proof of ownership. And once I saw the pic, I knew something was seriously wrong. Also, I asked chatGPT if the photo was found anywhere online or if the photo was even real. (The floating paper pic lol) ChatGPT said “This is a real photo” 😂😂😂 this didn’t help. Anyways, I ended up getting a Zotac Solid OC 5080 for 1K cash locally just a few hours ago. 5090’s are just wayyy too extreme price wise for me. My system was setup for a water cooled GPU, so I just threw a D5 pump and top in there to allow water to pass through. Flow rate is EXTREME with (5) D5’s and no GPU 😂 online image resizer with hosting I also sold my laptop! I came up with this idea on Saturday to sell it and help fund a 5090 and alleviate the extreme blow for such an extraordinary expensive item. So I listed it for $1,500 bucks. Selling my laptop put me in a really really good position to buy a 5090 now, but even then, I couldn’t grasp the idea of doing it. Then my wife caught wind of me messaging people on FB Market place and making offers. And that idea of dropping 3K was all over with at that point. 😭 Anyways. Gaming on a laptop just isn’t for me. I don’t like the power limits, and the thermal limits. I really love the idea of a laptop. But when it actually comes down to it. It’s just really kinda lame. It worked fine for working from for about 3 months. Update: This Zotac 5080 is insane how well it undervolts. I tried the Gigabyte 5080 Master bios(Does not work drivers won’t load) then flashed the Zotac Extreme bios (This worked great) card maxed out of 1060-1065mv voltage. I am running 2,955@0.895mv. SUB 200 watts in games. It is pretty astounding how well it’s undervolting. Lots of fun 🤩 abnormally efficient GPU that’s for sure. This is roughly a +400 offset, it has some more room I think. Hope you are feeling okay @Papusan have a great night everyone!

My daughter has become addicted to gaming again like she was as a teenager (she is 39). When I gave my X870E Strix/4090 build to one of my sons as an upgrade/trade for his B650/7700X/3060 and gave that to my daughter she was hooked. The gaming rig that I gave to my grand daughters (her kids) was a B850/9600X/1080 system. I snagged a good deal on a RTX 3070 FTW3 https://www.overclock.net/posts/29586464/ (about $210 USD shipped). I am going to use that to upgrade my daughter's system and move her 3060 into her girls' system as an upgrade for them. And, then take the 1080 from their system and use it to upgrade her husband's system (which I gave them a couple of years ago) that is sporting a X79 Gene Rampage/Xeon E5-1680 V2/RX 590. So, that's going to be a sweet deal for all of them. Each system will be getting a 35-45% bump in graphics performance from where they currently are with their current GPUs.

@Papusan I hope they are getting everything sorted for you. Staying in the hospital while they run tests and "monitor" things is very boring. Let us know when they let you go home, brother.

i saw this another alternative, NVIDIA RTX 2000 Ada lovelace from PCP. i dont know if they sell for personal use. but this card is the same as the rtx 4060

Pretty sure I have a m4000m in my m15x could try helping by swapping it into the m18x

tCL at 32 seems to be a no go even at 1300 and increased tRCD/tRP at 40. Yes, undervolt protection disabled and virtualization disabled in BIOS, core isolation appears to be disabled in windows. There's a large fluctuation in my Time Spy scores on a run to run basis from 25k to just over 26k. I'm using the watercooler and the laptop is raised on a stand. NGU at 30 and D2D at 31. Yeah on my other Neo with 13900HX undervolts gave pretty decent improvements.
