Yeah the 2026 version has shiny aluminium edges, LG must have got strong feedback in their home market of South Korea.

No problem @Vladka76 happy to be wrong 😉 just enquiring if that option had been investigated. Thanks @JadeRover that was kinda where my head was at with using standardized units for Display then we remove the intermediate board (which seems to be very difficult to obtain) 4K screen would be lovely but may overtax the HW in our 8570w's as previously called out.

Yep Spiderbait - Fucken Awesome

Hello. Yes the first version have very bad curves. There's a fixed one, the new 4 heatpipes GPU heatsink and 2 heatpipes Alienware 17 R1 Ranger style CPU heatpipes for the M6800. He finished it. I'll get it in 10 days.

Does anyone knows what is the max dimensions of the MXM card that can be fitted into the M6800? I am currently discussing with several sellers on Taobao for RTX3080 16GB MXM cards. There's 2 versions that the seller have and one is longer. The shorter version is out of stock at the moment and so is his RTX4090. He does have RTX5000 16GB MXM cards though. I also just read SuperMG's post above that the new heatsink doesn't fit properly... hmm...

These posts are mine. Unfortunately, Dell reported my posts to protect its own performance interests and profits, so users wouldn’t find out about the capabilities of this masterpiece and upgrade their devices.

Laptop started to have issues once again. New and improved issues… Started off loosing performance untill restarting. CPU would get stuck at 2200mhz would only pull 55ish watts and gpu would only pull around 120w. Not even close to overheating. That then evolved into the computer freezing crashing and bsod. I have done everything I can think of Dell wants me to send it back in after about a week of them asking me to run tests. Warranty will be up by the time it gets back 😱 sad panda…

Do you have the dell support assistant app installed ? If so . Uninstall that it breaks fan control

No . Just do the sleep bug and then flash bios that's what I did with mine

Had a problem registering two PSUs with EVGA and contacted support and response time was just as quick (if not quicker) than it was in the past use the exact same system. Rep went in and quickly sorted out the issue and got everything on the same page. Generated an RMA.... One big improvement with EVGA and their RMA process now is they generate and send you a free shipping label for defective/failing items for returns. Before, you had to pay S&H to get the item to them. Score another big plus for them. Man, I wish they still made MBs and GPUs.... 😞 ------------------------------------- The passion is there, but the mitigating circumstances can definitely take the wind out of the sails definitely. When you lose confidence in the AIB/OEM to properly support their product and supply a proper repair or replacement can make you start to go into ultra protective / conservative user mode. Watching consumers get absolutely screwed on proper RMA memory returns both directly (Silicon Power) and indirectly (Umart in Australia) really makes pushing your memory a precarious situation these days because you won't get a proper replacement. TechYesCity even noted talking to contacts earlier this year that companies are purposely EOL'ing older, existing SKUs and replacing them with basically the same item with a new SKU just so they can say that product is no longer carried and they don't have to replace your DDR5 with like or similar at their discretion. Worst case scenario is you get a refund or credit for your original purchase price paid but when you only paid $100 and now that same memory is $400+? Watching GPU makers basically put the cards under a jewelers microscope to deny RMAs is also shady and dirty.... Intel not blanket taking back degraded 13th and 14th gen chips and instead making you jump through invoice / chain of ownership BS is also lame.... What a cop out.....

I have my Precision 7680 RTX 4000 ADA for sale... i can only send inside EU.. Time to move RTX4090 🙂 I get my 4000 ada 3Dmark time spy score abaut 17400 points.. https://www.ebay.com/itm/358347913767

It looks like I'll be able to sell the KM-G machine and its many parts, accessories and everything else for a very good price. Since I've already switched to an RTX 5090 machine, it's also fully water-cooled, like the SM/KM-G was, so I don't need it anymore and it's at least 3x better (faster)

It is as easy as disconnecting one QDC, turning off one valve and plugging in two QDC fittings. I could probably break into both of those clubs had I let the chiller run longer and got the water a few degrees colder. I might do it later just to say I did. I know I would be proud of myself... for a few minutes, then it wouldn't be enough and I'd feel compelled to push harder. I am starting to feel like all of it is just an exercise in futility and have been asking myself "What's the point?" more than I have in the past. Not because I don't enjoy benching. I do enjoy it a lot, but because everything is both super expensive and in short supply it gives me pause. If I kill something having fun with it, replacing it might literally be near impossible due to availability and cost. And, that is a tough pill to swallow when it is all just for fun and there is literally no reward other than a momentary sense of personal accomplishment that nobody else cares about. I've been trying to re-ignite my old passion for gaming, but it's really difficult for me to get into it with most of the newer game titles. A lot of them are made for a different generational mindset and gaming styles that I personally do not care for. The titles that I would play and enjoy require me to do things I am unwilling to do (as a matter of principle) for the sake of online multiplayer anti-cheating crap.

Good on Jay getting that off his chest. The trolls are insufferable in the comments these days and I can see how it could have him second thinking himself and losing focus on the fact he loves tinkering with computers and cars and making videos about it. He really shouldn't have to justify himself or feel bad because the market is so bad. I watch plenty of videos of things I would never buy for many reasons and I still enjoy them greatly. I would say 90% of the videos I watch are of things I will never buy. GN has gone full scorched earth on the industry in the best way and I'm here for that too. I feel like Steve from GN is what @Papusan would be like if he hosted a channel sometimes 🤣 Yeah, I touched on this earlier from a videocardz posting. With contracted supply, they are going to prioritize higher margin items and push prices. Corporations doing as expected even if MSI is one of my favorites.... NO corporation is your "friend" They are there to sell their products and wares and make as much money as possible. It is your job to be a smart consumer and maximize your $$$ while obtaining what you want from said corporations. Nice! I was wondering if you used it at all or even had it set up to get back in action quickly. So close to breaking 50k on CB! Maybe see if you can push for the 18k club on the 5090?

And Microsoft have most of the OS market.... Not so sure a big market cap is what the consumers want or prefer. You can easily destroy your own brand name. Almost Monopoly is dangerous. But its what it is. Nvidia and Microsoft is exactly the same. Now we will see AMD try the same as well. We need alternatives. Not this greedy companies asking the corrupt governments for help to grow even further. I hope this backlash/rethinks will help. There is always a max limit what consumers will accept. Both in mind and money spent on trash. One of the biggest winners i ISRAEL. That speaks numbers. Report: Microsoft rethinks AI ambitions in Windows 11 after pushback And it seems Microsoft is finally listening. The stubborn forcing of Copilot down the throats of Windows users has (perhaps permanently) damaged the operating system’s reputation.

I'm writing this here because it affects the 2026 models more than my 2025 with Aerominum as exception - but there is a slight problem with that material - it's easy to chip. After my first more serious abuse - the laptop getting stuffed into a bag with several metal tools - there is some small chipping on the edges of the material. I'm not sure if this is actually better on the 2026 which looks like it has an aluminum border ring - or if that is just design. At least from the cosmetic side it will be much better on the 2026 - because where it chips the color becomes like aluminum shiny silver. The old magnesium casing certainly didn't get damaged that easily. Yes it's hard - but around the edges that is problematic. Can maybe solve by putting a ring of superglue around on the edge? Maybe LG noticed that chipping on those rare 2025 models in metal grey color and improved it for 2026 models? On the other hand the lower casing since years suffers like many other laptops from the very sharp edges. Especially on the front that is my main annoyance - it's really a pain to use the laptop while sitting on a couch with the laptop on your lap.. those edges dig into your forearms. LG really should round all those exposed edges a little. Otherwise to me the casing is perfect with Aerominum.

And yes I get your idea, since the motherboard outputs eDP signals (4 lanes of eDP) but it terminates in an unusable connector. The only solution is to DIY / get made a custom cable that connects to the eDP connector on the motherboard and then directly to the eDP display, bypassing the DC board that would create an unusable signal. 4 lanes of eDP is on part with modern laptops, you can connect 4K dislays or 1080p >120Hz displays as well. Worth looking into as the only custom part needed is a custom eDP cable, the LCD can be an off the shelf 40 pin eDP display.

Yes, dell m6600 and dell m6700 DC models have that DC conveter board that transforms the incoming eDP to 50 pin LVDS + 10 pin power cable used by the DC LCD. The HP zbook 17 g1, g2 and 15 g1 that have the DC screen option also use such converter boards. Keep in mind that for all the models stated the converter board looks something like this : So if you get the DC cables for your model you see that it connects to your board in a non standard eDP format = can't use that cable to connect to a standard eDP panel conenctor. Also the zbook 17 g1 and g2 all have this converted board as they all have LVDS displays and the motherboard outputs eDP. Not sure why HP chose this approach, probably because eDP lcds were rare in 2013-2014. so zbook 17 g1/g2 with 900p to 1080p screes have this board if you want a sure way to get your hands on one.

he want doin rendering, so all will be fine with SLI... for gaming will suck bcs of micro-stuttering...

Decided to fire up the chiller since today was over 95°F and my office was a bit too toasty. Got a couple of personal best scores. Steel Nomad was pulling 1650W from my 1500W UPS that was screaming about "overload" the entire time. To keep the WireView Pro II from shutting things down I had to max out the current limit in the software (25.5A per wire, 150A total). https://hwbot.org/benchmarks/3dmark_-_steel_nomad_dx12/submissions/5991752 | https://www.3dmark.com/3dm/154125943 https://hwbot.org/benchmarks/cinebench_-_r23_multi_core_with_benchmate/submissions/5991744

the z170 has up to 20 pcie lanes . im not sure how many clevo implemented but clearly you got 16 going through the MXMs and im assuming no issues with nvme so probably has 20 lanes from the pch

I highly suspect the Pro Precision 9 won’t be released this year. Intel has only provided a refreshed Arrow Lake SKU (e.g., 290HX Plus), which lacks vPro support. This situation is similar to 2024, where the Precision 7x90 was absent due to the limited update from the 14900HX refresh.

Thanks, but that wasn't exactly my view. 🙂 It seems you've misunderstood the idea. She was to use only a modified cable between the motherboard and display, without a converter board at all. Re-read the latest replies from DevilAnGeL, the author of the "Ultimate 8770W yet?" thread. You even wrote there earlier. I've read that DELL workstations also use a similar converter board (with a newer microprocessor). I can't say how compatible it is with HP.

Msi nowadays... The company is hoping to profit on premium products and AI data centers https://www.techspot.com/news/111720-msi-plans-raise-prices-up-30-amid-memory.html
