Yes, I I think having one is a good idea for protecting your system from a catastrophic event such as power surge and lightning strikes. Here is a link to the one I use. I thought I would never have to worry about exceeding its 1500W capacity. I was wrong. A 5090 with modifications can and does. https://a.co/d/08HxQG3R

Ouch, well as I've found over the years, wife requests override personal projects. 🙂 I didn't even know they "refreshed" the 2025 SKU with a 2026 SKU so I went and took a look. So basically, a 240hz->300hz display and jacking the price up from the original MSRP of $2499.99 -> $3299.99....yikes. Yeah, mine was open box for ~$1800 (1805.28 to be exact) listed as "used, acceptable" but arrived looking brand new with all accessories. Only the box was a little beat up. I realized I hadn't done anything with it and the return window is less than two weeks away (22nd) so I went ahead and finished setting it up and ran some basic benchmarks before I start tuning with the BIOS OC controls. Timespy performance is basically equal to Alienware performance mode just the G16 pulls 35w less. 9955HX3D definitely beats my Alienware 275hx in performance mode CPU wise in CB23. I said it before and I'll say it again, Asus fans have some of the best pitch I've heard on laptop fans. Definitely front and present, but max for max, I've always preferred their overall acoustics. Reviews were right. Even in Performance mode, this thing is nearly dead silent doing everything not stressful and even then the fans didn't really kick up that much. It took Turbo to bring it to life and Manual to really let you know it can move some air. All tests were run on a flat, hard surface with zero rear elevation which is how I would normally run it on the go with some laptop balls. I'll end up spending tomorrow playing and comparing Fallout 76 and WoW with my Alienware data but I expect the 9955HX3D to pretty much own it badly in Fallout 76 and beat it overall in WoW because of the lack of tuning available for the 275HX and dog slow 6400 memory. The real performance question will be can the 9955HX3D cap out the 5070ti in QHD in Fallout 76 because the 275HX couldn't only in pockets so we shall see. If it can really cap out the 5070ti, that makes a compelling argument to get a 9955HX3D + 5090. If it doesn't, then the G16 it is. Some data to compare against your Raider with the 5090 before I dive into the BIOS OC options.... Performance (default) mode: Turbo Mode: Manual Mode (All sliders to Max): ------------------------------------------------------ Nice snag! I was away from the forums over there so I just checked and saw the poor arguments for the price being asked. If they think prices are bad NOW, wait till next year..... I'm always on the lookout for good sets to grab, and I would have grabbed those and jettisoned my KingBank's to eBay or similar (or sell them in a parts constructed system). Actually, those KB sticks in the 265k box did 8933 so I shouldn't poo poo on them too bad. It's just their poor AsRock and Asus fails that has me salty. 🙂

So Im thinking the next step for my setup should be a UPS, I am currently using a really nice extension but its probably time to get a proper power delivery system. From what Im reading something with Sinewave PFC to clean up the power. What do you guys use? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00429N19W?tag=ustxtaddt-20&plpRedirect=mhFallback&ref=clp_hp_h_pc&th=1 This appears to clean power from utility as well as on battery.

Snagged another G.SKILL 8400 kit for a good price to have in my backup/spare parts stash. This was pre-rampocalypse pricing for this kit. It was interesting to see someone bashing the seller for asking too much. Not sure what planet they are from. This is the same memory part number running in the system built in the LIAN LI O11D MINI V2. https://www.overclock.net/threads/g-skill-trident-z5-rgb-ddr5-8400-48gb-2-x-24gb-f5-8400j4052g24gx2-tz5rk.1820341/

Thanks man. So this works better than the m18x r2's fan? Do I just put it in my 18x? Like the whole fan?

https://www.parts-people.com/index.php?action=item&id=11980 Here it is.

Could you link me that as well? Thanks.

Found the fan and thanks

Looks like my battery I got on Amazon. Do you have the ebay's listing for that? So I can get the 5 options on my M4800

Sure, here's the photo

Gemini wrote to me that in 9x revisions of audio processors, IDT used "a much more aggressive and intelligent dynamic range compression algorithm. It 'pushes' quiet sounds and gently limits peaks. Subjectively, this is perceived as a sharp increase in density, 'thickness' of the sound and volume without any noticeable speaker wheezing." (c) Furthermore, "In 9x revisions, the algorithms for virtual stereo widening and bass boost compensation were refined, which are hardwired into the codec's processing logic." (c) So it turns out the AI was right about everything, right? Is the difference really noticeable to the ear? --- P.S. Just curious - why did you replace your 92HD80 with 92HD94 and not with other 9x?

It did got louder and less distorted on original speakers. Also, I already had problem with missing channels (sometimes right speaker stoped worked suddenly) - that IC replacement solved it. It won't be ARM Macbook pro level, though, but still worth it IMHO.

Your battery LED on the keyboard should be off, which means the laptop is in "Idle" Do you have a picture of your battery's label? Because it has the 5 options and I need that for my M4800.

Thanks for the tip—I would never have thought of that 😁 Yeah, I have all the options in the BIOS. The way I use my laptops, it’s not a problem—they’re almost always plugged into the charger. But maybe I should give it a try and set the charge limit to 90%. Let’s see if that triggers the error.

Hi, I bought a used Dell Precision 7550 laptop with a 1080p display, but my eyes hurt a lot because of PWM. I came across your post and I'm considering whether to install the BOE NE156QUM-N6C display, like the one you have. Could you tell me, please, did you check it for PWM for example using a phone camera in slow-mo and are there any flicker bands? Do your eyes hurt? What are your impressions of the new screen after using it for a while? You used a new cable with part number "02KWM2." But I found another one: "094D5W DC02C00P70" https://www.ebay.com/itm/256207921069. Have you come across this one? Would it work, and can it be used without an adapter?

More than that. How many options do you have? Standard Adaptive ExpressCharge AC Primary Custom charge Because you can get the TDP unlock bug to work without needing to reach the 100% level by manipulating the Custom charge values. You can stop charging in the BIOS and set your laptop in "Idle" state and that's how you can unlock the TDP. In "charging" state, you can't unlock the TDP. The K KYUER battery I bought works with this mod (have the 5 options) but sadly it's not available anymore on Amazon. I bought another unknown battery, same FV993 but it doesn't have any advanced options... I bought 2 another batteries to test with. All have the blue color. One is a FV993 97Wh and the other one is a 60Wh one

Hi! Could you clarify: how noticeably did the sound improve after this upgrade? What exactly improved, in your opinion? Are all the audio ports working and any issues with jack sensing? I'm looking at the datasheets: the main difference between 92HD9x and 92HD8x is the replacement of the Class AB power amplifier with a Class D amplifier. And the closest equivalent to 92HD81 is 92HD91 (there's no datasheets for 80 and 94). 🤔 Does this upgrade make sense if the original audio processor is working properly?

You mean this ExpressCharge? Yes, I can enable that in the BIOS.

Does your battery have settings on the BIOS under the Power Management section? Like you can set a custom charge %, set 4 different modes.

Here's a more detailed breakdown of the process. I have PL1/2 set to 70W. Before the Time Spy test and afterward, I check the TDP with Throttlestop benchmark. I also check under “Limits” to see if anything is being throttled. In my case, nothing is reset, the CPU consistently draws 70W. The battery isn’t the original one—it’s one I bought on eBay. The BIOS is in UEFI mode and is version A26. I’d be happy to test the same thing today with an M6800 and P4000 as well. So far, I haven’t noticed anything unusual there either. And in case it matters, the CPU is a 4980HQ PL1/LP2 47W/58W.

@ninjaturtle So, was the p5000m a plug and play ? did it work ? I am trying the same upgrade

Did the CPU reset the TDP unlock bug? Did you try to run TS Bench after the TimeSpy? Do you use the FV993 battery? The one that we can control its settings on the BIOS?

Standard run, including the CPU test. Maybe it's due to the total power consumption? I tested all of this using a 180W Dell power supply.

The CPU test?
