  1. subbed out of interest and tech curiosity. hope this turns out well, would be a shame for such a nice machine to go out.
  2. hum....time to change your passwords 😅
  3. another system saved from the unnecessary landfill. the beauty of socketed hardware 😁
  4. sweet intro, love the refurb setup! and no matter what kinda hardware ure rockin, ull find ur corner here at NBT 🙂
  5. thats a classic! in automotive world that would be an oldtimer haha.
  6. i do have a wattmeter but so far ive only looked at hwinfo data and during gpu intensive runs the 230w total system power limit is actually breached. sure, wattmeter might show slightly different numbers but shouldnt be too far off i guess, so not much tweaking room left for the gpu on the 230W stock psu. @win32asmguy ill have another look at the NBC review to check the model number of the psu. might be worrh getting it aftermarket...
  7. reaaaaaally curious what thatll do to the 12900k performance in this machine 😁👌🏼 im now hoping that we can get some undervolting and RAM tuning action going to push this machine a bit further. as for the gpu, not sure how much we can get out of it considering that ill likely need a bigger psu at that point. are there are 280/330W psus around with the NH55 barrel power connector? i saw that Eurocom actually offers more powerful psu options, hmmm....
  8. yep thats reminiscent of the Clevo story where they were planning to release a 3080Ti in MXM form factor but Nvidia wouldnt let them 🙄
  9. ill keep an eye out for the service manual, as well. it usually takes a while until it "leaks" out, since its not intended to be available to the peasants = consumers 😋 btw got some promising preliminary results in for the copper IHS upgrade, the 10 min CB23 stress test resulted in almost 10% higher average clocks (+340 Mhz) at roughly identical temps and wattages. core temp spread was also reduced from max. 6C to now just 4C between hottest and coolest running core. not bad considering were talking about a locked cpu at identical settings! will run the full set of benches i did for the initial baseline and then follow up with posting more detailed results.
  10. thats another pointer that there is some kind of bottleneck in terms of heat transfer.
  11. so wait, thats a 3060 desktop core planted on an MXM board?
  12. happy to see you found an avenue bud! 🙂
  13. D11 settings you can ignore, those only come in when uve tuned everything else and want to squeeze out the last tiny bit of stability. tuning primary/secondary/tertiary timings is ur best bet to get more performance out of ur sticks.
  14. thats the general problem of the industry: they dont do more with more, but rather stay the same with less. i.e. thinner bezels could mean larger screens in the same form factor or same size screens with a smaller form factor (industry chooses latter).
  15. this really sounds like you have a severe cooling problem my friend... next time you take off the heatsink, be sure and take pictures of what the spread looks like on gpu and cpu as well as the heatsink so we can get an idea of how good your paste job was. in any case, glad to see your laptop has come back to life 🙂
  16. did u follow the extra steps suggested in the other thread u originally posted for proper NVRAM reset? still nothing?
  17. even if you did the cmos and nvram reset successfully, u will need to be patient for the first boot after the rest. it will usually do 1-2 reboots by itself and then take additional several minutes until it actually displays anything. so just to be on the safe side, after the reset, for the first reboot let it sit for at least 5 minutes before doing anything and give it proper time to display an output.
  18. i feel ya, im only considering big tower cases for my upcoming build to make sure ive got enough space for radiators and other bulky stuff (i.e. im also planning to include a small 7-10 inch display for sensor readouts inside the case).
  19. took a few tries but in the end the clamp and cable work! was able to successfully read out and verify the firmware on the cmos chip 🙂 however, the clamp needs to be pressed down onto the chip manually during the whole connection time. and since it only reads/writes at about 116KB/s one full pass takes around 4m42s for 32MB 😅 add to that a verification pass and ure looking at almost 10 minutes manually holding it down for one successful read or write haha 😛 in any case, were back in business!
  20. man this is some weird-a$$ janky form factor... the lengths companies go to break compaibility, just unbelieveable
