    based on rumors, there might be something going on from Nvidia's side, i.e. Clevo wanted to do a "3090 Ti" MXM version but were not allowed to go through with it. other ODMs might also be pushing against this kind of upgradeability, since that would let their full on BGA machines look like the insta-junk they really are 😄 as for the NH55JNNQ, the gpu is soldered, everything else is socketed. dear god i sure hope Clevo holds on to desktop cpu machines as long as possible.... i totally would not mind a desktop CPU machine with the space reserved for dedicated GPU used for a maximized 100Wh battery and proper FULL support of thunderbolt external GPUs. that would be sweet! HOWEVER, on the upgradeability path for older machines, there is still a way forward, albeit costly and rare: MXM quadros. aside from the P5000 / P5200 (Pascal), RTX 5000 (Turing), were now at RTX A4500 (Ampere), and they ALL come in standard MXM form factors 🙂

    the only good thing about this system is its potential inclusion of an MXM socketable gpu which can then be extracted for use in a proper DTR 😄 btw, any pricing info on those backpacks yet? i heard from someone that the stand-alone mxm A4500 easily goes for 3500 USD, so the whole system price should be "interesting", to say the least... 😅

    oh wow had to look up LTX golden samples, not sure i was aware of that 🙂 naturally, we expected final results and rankings of all the tested 10900Ks! 😛

    i must admit, the thought actually has crossed my mind to get a 3090 Ti once 4000 series is out. itll really depend on the nextgen pricing vs. price drop on 30 series cards (if any). at the same time, after having saved up for 2.5 years i just wanna spoil myself for once and get the best of the best 😛 this, of course, is with the thought to maximize the base for future upgrades and get max lifetime out of the system (just like im doing currently with my Dark Knight 😉 ) in any case, its ridiculous that Nvidia is now "shocked and desperate" after the TOTALLY EXPECTED downfall of a) mining b) pandemic-related hardware craze c) having a monopol on high-end graphics cards (AMD aint happy either but i think their mining impact was somewhat lesser due to far lower total volumes of cards in circulation).

    duuuude....this will have serious RAMifications! 😁 good luck with the sale, i checked through your list but unfortunately nothing for me this time around 🙂

    oh wow that was fast with stock drying up....hope this is due to the machine being so popular and not because their stock was super low to begin with.... no updates yet from my side btw, but will be sure to let u guys know once smth is up 🙂

    i like your style 🤠😁

    sequential reads u mean? that could be either a connector bottleneck of the mobo or caused by the drive being an os drive and still doing lotsa stuff in the background...

    me and my lady did a "for her" / "for him" double last weekend, starting wirh Marry Me (which was surprisingly entertaining) and then followed by Moonfall (surprisingly dull, but at least unexpected ending). damn JLo looks so fine at her age! 😋😁

    definitely put everything up in the marketplace here, lets give it a healthy boost 🙂 im also planning to put up parts from my lady's old machine, even found an NBT buyer for some of the parts before even posting here haha

    yep your conclusion is spot on with regards to the ssd performance. sata vs nvme barely makes any difference in everyday operations, unless u transfer huge files back and forth. the big jump is only going from spinning rust to ssd in general, after that those big PR performance numbers are just that...
  12. jaybee83
    hm, try again on your report 😄 as to your initial questions: 1) 8 vs. 4 cores and increased ipc will surely bring snappier performance. also if u bump up the ram speed to 3200 mhz or above. ram amount shouldnt matter unless u usually have a gazillion chrome tabs open. 2) sure makes sense. only bottleneck will be if it bothers u to lug it around externally. alternatively, u can sell off the 4TB sata and invest the money to get a 4TB nvme. theyre not THAT much more expensive anymore. 3) if youre used to 15, then 17 will be noticeably larger. but in the end it depends on the display res and also the scaling u set vs. the available work space density (if that makes sense) that it results in.

    seems like extreme climate brings out extreme overclockers 😎 us moderates dont stand a chance! now being back in central europe i miss the humid hot equator climate from south east asia (spent last 4.5 yrs there?. im glad its now almost summer here so that helps, but tbh im totally solar powered, so the more heat n sun the better for me 🤠

    absolutely recommend ANYone to play through the series! took me ages to finally get around to beat the first installment, but the next two were a breeze (life got in the way haha). absolutely brilliant story, character development, gameplay mechanics and indeed the graphics were very well thought through and atmospheric. cant wait for bioshock 4 to drop!
  15. jaybee83
    haha yep exactly that! heres the vid i was referring to: caution, overabundance of electrifying puns 😋
  16. jaybee83
    issue is that all cpu and gpu heatsink screws are equipped with springs, thus u cant "overtighten" them but u can also not tighten them properly 😛 there have been some previous user tests where removing and replacing those springed screws with regular ones can significantly increase the cold plate pressure on the IHS. naturally, ull then have to be cautious not to overtighten / strip those replacement screws! 😅

    electric fox ive seen jay from j2c do like a psa on that since hes also located near the desert in so-cal, quite freaky stuff like being able to half-fry his display just by rubbing his butt on his chair 😅 ure in AZ iirc?
  18. jaybee83
    thats my kinda paradise, i love it 😁 @Papusan YOUre the reason why used card market is spiraling out of control, cant even afford gtx 580s anymore 😋 @ryan dude, ure on vacation, who gives af what ur cb23 score is, just enjoy 😂

    same here with core to core temp spread, im seeing roughly 5C difference. ive tried both manual spread with spatula and "cross" method, i think the latter is more suitable for the low mounting pressure in a laptop. the manual spatula spread is ideal on desktop because it ensures that every corner is truly and completely covered. the rest is done by the high mounting pressure and mostly even surface fit between the cooler and ihs. in the laptop, however, the manual spread cannot ensure balancing out any potential (but likely, in this context) uneven fit between cold plate and ihs, so the cross method i think provides the most ideal approach in filling all gaps. blob / pea method is not bad, per se, but based on experience leaves a lot to be desired in terms of reaching the last bit of the ihs corners. the only downside to the cross is that u might end up with a bit of paste spillage over the edges, but if its non conductive no worries, just a bit more cleaning up to do during next repaste 😋

    nice conclusion, laptops just SUCK too much to do any proper paste comparisons 😂 i love it haha

    ha, absolutely nooooo argument there on why they chose win10 for ltsc 2021 😄 5+ in-place upgrades, holy guacamole 😳 id say youre one lucky customer then 😅 its already difficult enough to decrap / debloat a clean install, so in combo with an in place upgrade makes that an absolute nogo for me...
  22. jaybee83
    wow now thats a bit of an overkill lol
  23. jaybee83
    in-place upgrades is their own can of worms though, doesnt necessarily mean that the os upgraded to is crap 😄 for proper testing i would always do clean installs.
  24. jaybee83
    havent had any issues with kryonaut, maybe u could give kryonaut extreme a try 🙂 otherwise, MX5 is supposed to be good, as well as noctua NT-H2 and coolermaster master gel pro v2
  25. jaybee83
    double post 🙄
