you run windows 11? I heard microsoft won't support windows 10 wifi 7
-
been wondering for a while if that was possible, did you simply do a swap of cards? how's the performance?

I need to be able to run mods/ mats tests for the laptop's gpu. Problem is, without legacy mode enabled, the test won't run correctly. When I enable it in bios, pc won't even POST. Can anyone help?

x170's heatsink tolerances are shit, you are far better off using putty and ptm, than sticking with pads. Or do what ztec did, which is LM and k5pro ( sewing off the fourth cpu screw, replace them with 2.5 x10 + washers), bit messier and k5 is less performant than many if not most putties, and with LM you have to be even more careful with tolerances and ofc not touching any conductive bit.
-
You are correct. The pad links 2 pcbs. The m.2s however, I got some heatsinks from the same hybrid watercooler heatsink source. As for your temperature and noise endeavor, I highly suggest cpu delid ptm 7950 and some taobao fans which imo work great and are less noisy.

thank you for that chart, I personally gave up trying to find out a damn thermal pad for vram chips that wouldn't thermal throttle my gpu, so now I'm going with a good putty on caps, vram, vrms, mosfets, everything. Would you be able to check the orientation and position of the big thermal pad that sits under the mxm gpu? thank you
-
correct, some applied heat will soften pcm and then you're good to go, could also use a hair dryer on it, few seconds will suffice
-
Is this the correct pad orientation and position?
-
Same as the one I used already, and this now is toast. So probably better to go for a different one.
-
Yeah...this is where mine comes too
-
Anyone here experienced enough with buying a replacement 3080 mxm? I am in need of one and some of those ebay listings seem dodgy.
-
Yeah, only be careful when removing the heatsink, too much pressure or strain and you can damage the cpu or gpu
-
Yeah. Gpu needs changing, since reballing or replacing chips is expensive. Given that this gpu came from a famous listing of used 3080 where most of us got it, I was wondering where, now, I am supposed to get a replacement 3080 mxm. Some ebay listings are marked as "new", but who knows..
