  1. oh yeah, um....could u please pull out the cpu or gpu real quick? wanna check something.....yeah, sure, ill wait A WEEK TO LET THE COMPONENTS FULLY DRIP OFF! 😂
  2. theres a sister model with an AM4 socket that can take up to a 5950X, but no other LGA1700 socket laptop as far as im aware. definitely not socketable CPU paired with a mobile 3080 Ti around. however, this might change by fall/winter this year, lets see....hoping for the best 😅 in any case, the 3070 Ti in this system is actually trading blows with a 3080 Laptop and only lacks like 5-10% vs a 3080 Ti due to higher available TDP and desktop CPU, have a looksie: https://www.notebookcheck.net/Eurocom-Raptor-X15-review-LGA1700-Core-i7-12700K-in-a-laptop.620093.0.html https://www.techspot.com/review/2433-geforce-rtx-3070-ti-laptop/
  3. oh boy, where to start 😄 its a few very BIG things, a lot of smaller things and a gazillion little things (under the hood) that makes PremaMOD stand out. it starts with way way more customization options for all components of your system, be it cpu, ram, gpu, TPM, I/O, Sound, Display, Mux, etc. that includes suboptions for over and underclocking, voltages, power limits, amperage limits, suspend timings, enabling and disabling features, timings, etc. then were talking updates to ME firmware, cpu microcodes, RAM and gpu settings, letting u use hardware that is normally not able to run in the system. examples include higher RAM speeds (i.e. above the current standard 3200 Mhz limit), newer cpus that are physically compatible with the socket in the system but are officially not supported by the firmware (i.e. 9900K in a Z170 laptop which only supports 6700K and/or 7700K) or being able to upgrade to newer gen gpus (i.e. going from a stock 1080 to a 2080 or even a 3080, albeit sometimes a few hardware modifications are required there). furthermore, PremaMOD includes under the hood stuff that enables higher and more stable performance for both CPU and GPU. both processors and graphics cards tend to have unstable boost algorithms where clocks tend to fluctuate wildly instead of holding steady because of power and voltage limits imposed by the stock firmware. PremaMOD tends to remove a lot of that crap, giving u much higher and more stable boost clocks. sure, there are a lot of people just "unlocking" hidden options in the stock bios and saying its the same. but thats basically just scratching the surface. they are only slapping a new coat of paint on a Prius, whereas Prema basically replaces the whole friggin engine, the suspension, provides a set of BIGASS rims, lowers the whole chassis, tints the windows, installs an afterburner with nitrous boost and much more, thus u rather end up with a beastly Lambo sporting a "harmless" prius exterior 😄
  4. ok in THAT context wireless makes total sense haha
  5. hey papu and fox, how about ONE P core clocked to 6 Ghz paired with 63 flimsy wuss cores = 64 cores in mainstream desktop FTW! (with 65 threads LOL) just enough to get that single thread crown and "supposedly" win in games 😂
  6. me and my lady started watching the Fantastic Beasts trilogy today. i had seen the first part previously already, but its been ages. and dont remember watching the second one, so might as well just start off fresh, amirite? (she hasnt seen any, so made sense 😛 )
  7. cool man, thanks for the input 🙂
  8. currently watching the video, soooo much SCHADENFREUDE, its not even funny anymore 😛 let the vendors, shops and Nvidia buuuuuuuurn after making so much shameful profit these past 2 years, yehaw!
  9. just beware that if u offer it to the community here, expect lower offers since members here tend to be more in the know regarding hardware pricing 😄 so id maybe expect more like 350€ instead due to used and no warranty.
  10. unuseable in what way? too slow? no infrastructure? too pricey?
  11. yep had the same thing happen to me recently, was also pleasantly surprised. however, i think i read somewhere that in case they find something funky with ur return, theyll just charge ur amazon account 😛
  12. thats a pretty sweet service to the community, thanks bud!
  13. a quick look on sold 2070 Super FE models on ebay suggests an average price of 450€. compared to that, u can get an RTX 3060 or an RX 6650XT gpu new for a bit less (starting at 400€ for a 3060 and 410€ for a 6650XT). the 3060 is a tad slower than the 2070 Super, with the 6650 XT a tad faster, so the 2070 Super slots right in between. considering the performance, i would say 400€ would be a fair price (probably a bit less due to used an no warranty i guess?), but if u can get more on fleabay id say go for it 🙂 with a bit of luck u can maybe squeeze out 450-500€ for it.
  14. movies (~2800), tv shows (141) and games (56), my friend! 😄 they are currently totaling about 5.4 TB, so my 2x4 TB 860 Evos are now 75% filled 😛 curious to see how much longer they will last haha
  15. out of reactions for today, so thumbs up to that! in any case, u definitely dont think like the majority of buyers. regular joe is just impatient, so gets "whatever is available" NAO and gets instant buyers remorse after a day or so 😛 btw, ive been saving up for 2.5 years now, hows THAT FOR BEING IMPATIENT?!?!?!? *gimme newgen already* 😄
  16. rumor mill says Nvidia already postponed the 40 series launch by a month. funny thing is, they cannot push it back too much, otherwise they will fall behind AMD launching first and missing out on the "next-gen" hype 😄 dont u just love them big players getting in trouble? 😛
  17. ...and there is no way im getting a 4090 Ti knowing that 5000 series is lurking around the corner just a few short months later. when looking at overall time frame, a 4090 makes more sense because itll be top dog for 1.5 years, vs. the 4090 Ti for barely 6 months (this is, of course, based on the 3000 series release cycle. if the 4090 Ti is only released shortly after the 4090 that would change things). this issue is also being complicated due to the 4090 Ti vs 4090 gap looking much larger than the current 3090 vs 3090 ti. its tricky! and yes, this was also the first time i started considering buying the best of an outgoing generation....i.e. going for the 3090 Ti shortly after the 40 series has launched. in any case, first world problems 😁
  18. hmmmm...regarding the contact frame, one issue i can foresee is that i wont be able to use the custom copper IHS by rockit cool since it lacks the "step" all around of the original IHS. im thinking: the custom copper IHS might be worth a couple of degrees, whereas the contact frame "might" get me up to 7-8C. tricky stuff 🤔
  19. aaaah finally a stable connection to live stream dismemberment of kidnapped victims in the deep dark woods....lol jokes aside 😂 what kinda antenna is that?
  20. if i remember correctly, the unlocked eurocom bios is not exactly the same as the PM, but it provides some of the same functionality.
  21. yep thats the 200W card. if i remember correctly that wont fit in the P775DM3. have u thought about a Pascal card? seems like it goes up to 1080, if not Turing maybe? https://eurocom.com/ec/upgradepricelist(2,392)CLEVO_P775DM3-G_SAGER_NP9172_ORIGIN_EON17X
  22. it depends on the form factor. the single full fat 200W design from the P870DM will not work. but if its a SLI card in the 175W variety, then it will work (if i remember correctly. its been a while 🙂 ) lets call bro @Mr. Fox on this because i remember he has handled both variants of the 980.
  23. beCUZ mez wants everything! 😛 just like the sheeple want sub 1 inch GAMING laptops with ALL the powahs and ALL the batteryz 😄
