kool man, good luck on the sale!

yeah that could potentially work, but it would need to be quite narrow in circumference on the outside to fit ðĪ -
no dice, there are two issues: 1) there is barely any room to maneuver to actually get a grip on those screws, even with the tiniest of pliers. 2) ill need those screws again when installing the contact frame, which sports ingressed holes, so again basically zero room to get a grip on those screws, let alone do exact screwing, since u require a narrow window of torque to avoid any issues with pin contact...

just wait and see i guess. if nobody bites, u can always lower the price a bit ð or allow best offer and see what comes in!

Time for some tinkering ðĪ edit: aaaaand THATS why you should always do your homework BEFOREHAND, kids! only after disassembly and while taking off the copper IHS did i notice that the screws fastening the ILM to the mobo are NOT the same as on desktop boards, thus the included key aint compatible *facepalm* they look like some kinda hexagonal "screw-nuts", where ud need a tool to get a grip from the outside ðĪĻ guess ill have to put this endeavour on ice....ugh

980M MXM = 285⎠970M MXM = 135⎠Based on worldwide, recently sold items on ebay (avg pricing). so in NBT community terms would probably be more like 250 and 115, respectively ð

yep, and THATS the reason i despise any kind of "online content", be it movie/tv show streaming, online game shops like Steam or music shops like spotify and the like. mark my words, guys: YOU DO NOT OWN ANY OF THAT MATERIAL! you are just renting / leasing it and can lose it anytime one of the companies behind those platforms feels like taking it away from you. thus, i keep absolutely everything, be it games, tv shows, movies, music, etc LOCALLY under my full control. also just using cloud services for quick n dirty transfer of stuff but NOT as archives or backup locations.... /rant ð

just in case u want a ready-made solution for win10 and win11 in lite flavour, check out this team: https://phoenixliteos.com/ have installed it on my lady's machine and must say very happy so far!

back in asia the argument was to "spare flight attendant backs and reduce risk of passenger injury" while handling heavy carry-on luggage....seems like laptops arent the only thing thats gotten thin light n flimsy ð ð

haha main reason is practicality in terms of compatible psu connector. we know that the stock 230W, a 280W and now the newly discovered 330W psu models have a compatible barrel connector for our machines. that 780W monster would have to be modded in order to fit ð besides, well also need to first deactivate the EC power limits, otherwise the machine just shuts off once it reaches a certain total wattage. lets see how far we can push this thing before it catches fire ð well lets see what we can put together here from this thread alone: youve got your homework cut out for ya, son! ð

ah, that brings back memories of 48C days in Hyderabad with the ceiling fan in my room broken. had to get up at night and splash my body with water to be able and continue sleeping ð good times!

mindblowing indeed....like the fact the FIRST exoplanet they focus on with JWST is a jupiter like hot beast with a superfast 3-day orbital period around its host star and guess what? they found friggin water, like....wth ð https://www.nasa.gov/image-feature/goddard/2022/nasa-s-webb-reveals-steamy-atmosphere-of-distant-planet-in-detail

145 ð issue being the sustained loads, not the max though. the delid, liquid metal and copper IHS combo provided thermal headroom for another +340 Mhz, im hoping i can get another 100-150 Mhz with the TG contact frame. should be here by the end of this week. after that, im hoping for undervolting capabilities with Prema's help. were currently waiting for some software bugfixes before we can proceed....

people who like to "gamble"? ð

thats a tough one since the market for it is so super small.... i looked around ebay and it seems like M18X mobos (irrespective of their R generation due to small sample size) go for about 300 to 600⎠with an average of 430âŽ. complete machines average roughly 780⎠ranging 600 to 1100âŽ. so with that in mind id say 300 - 450⎠does make sense. but again, very limited sample size! so just a rough guesstimate from my side ð

whos got money for that?!?! ð

LOL thats a hell of a backstory on why u love your alienware, glad ure still with us man! soooooo....what happened with the nurse? ð

maybe thats part of the thingy: who wouldnt be embarrassed to invite a date over into such a tiny space? ð

first thing that came to mind was RAM. try and dial the sticks down to SPD, tune in your CPU, then take the RAM back up step by step.
-
haha sorry mate, good luck hunting down a 980M ð
-
oh yes indeed ð i visually checked the dimensions on the NH55 ILM, the contact frame "should" fit nicely in there without getting in the way of any SMDs. the height shouldnt be an issue, since the IHS is the highest point and thus the contact to the IHS. im currently cleaning up the stock IHS, still had the black silicone glue and the sTIM at the center. especially the latter is a biatch to clean up, but the Rockit Cool kit also helps in this regard ðĪ

you got it bud, happy to help. keep us in the loop on how it goes with the keyboard hunting ð btw, i had the exact same issue, blue LEDs started out quite bright and then got weaker every year....before the keyboard lighting completely gave out on me (LED cable broke ð)
-
hey man, thats actually a known issue. may i know how old the machine is? problem is that the blue LEDs get weaker and weaker with time as opposed to the red and green ones. unfortunately there is no fix aside from a brand new replacement keyboard ð
