I want that mxm lol, would make a nice upgrade for the Precision 7510/20 for example though probably too much for the M4800 unless someone makes a custom heatsink.

Took two weeks off for vacation more or less for rest as I was having all kinds of problems from physical to mental and already dreading going back with the usual depression, anxiety, with a bit of anger to top it all off. Tired of the office politics while having to do the work or two or three people never mind everything else. As for management they're nothing more than just blow up dolls for corporate that for what little they do are overcompensated never mind the bonuses.

Precision 7540 & Precision 7740 owner's thread
nforce4max replied to SvenC's topic in Pro Max & Precision Mobile Workstation
Well I've been dealing with an audio issue with my 7740 that being the occasional crackle and pop while sometimes going mono with reduced quality so have been trying the upgrade the driver game in hopes of fixing the issue. With some experimentation I've found that newer audio drivers from later models work including those from the 7780 with promising results but not completely resolved. Extracted the downloaded driver to a folder then went with update driver from the control panel and the browse option. Hopefully this is of some help should anyone else suffers this issue. Realtek used to be better than this as I never really had this issue before throughout the 2000s and 2010s till now with the exception of maybe Turtle Beach. -
You got a rare one with that 120hz panel as that is typically edp if my recollection is correct so it could potentially use a more modern card but anyway have you considered Win10 as I've experienced much better driver compatibility across multiple generations of Alienware laptops when it comes to mxm upgrades. Edit: Almost forgot nvclearinstall does a pretty good job at getting ngreedia drivers to install unsupported configurations. https://www.techpowerup.com/download/techpowerup-nvcleanstall/

Intel might spin off the foundry side of the company.

The Dell Precision 7780 comes to mind as the 7730 onwards has four slots and potentially a fifth with an adapter in the wwan slot.

CEO culture is basically what destroyed SEARS/Kmart and is the same rot destroying all these companies right now which goes a long ways to ruining the lives of workers by far.

Bought a second 7740 for scrap on the cheap and it came with an unexpected surprise that it had the full 128gb of ram installed. Kinda cool to have that given how rare it is to find that much even on a desktop these days when most are satisfied with 32gb for example. -
Looks like Intel is starting to circle the drain when they just canceled their best cpu project. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yzimFlRJbAM

Anandtech has shut down, effective today (Aug 30, 2024)

Another moment for what has amounted to a crap decade for so many out there wow. -
Be around long enough and you'll see it all when it comes to age discrimination besides just screwing over older workers. On the other end younger workers get peanuts with the expectation of being the life blood of the economy only for those running show have that surprised pikachu face that the birth rate collapses like it did in South Korea and have the workforce work six days a week just to keep the government afloat. The whole system is broken and unsustainable.

The vast majority of employers view blue collar workers as being completely disposable on top of keeping the wages low which makes living almost impossible for so many out there.

HP Elitebook 8570W - is it still good ? Hardware modifications
nforce4max replied to GuitarG's topic in Custom Builds
There are two common RTX 3000 mxm cards for which one is a pain in the ass to install yet has proven to be compatible with a lot of laptops out there. The one I've been daily using for the past 8 months thus far has been reliable but really needed better tooling for the heatsink mod. I would say go for it if you can stomach the cost.- 218 replies

Took long enough

Not sure what is going on at AMD but Ryzen 5 has more or less flopped and there are ridiculous performance issues vs prior generations.

There is a segment mentioning the issue affects laptops.

Precision 7540 & Precision 7740 owner's thread
nforce4max replied to SvenC's topic in Pro Max & Precision Mobile Workstation
The gpu in this case has to be of the same generation as the machine and you'll need a heatsink as the current one isn't going to fit.
