Have not followed developments in that area for a long time, last I looked TB3 was limited and if I remember correctly having less performance than a 3080 due to TB3 (and TB4) bandwidth limitations. Looking forward to TB5 or whatever it will be to finally let external top of the line GPUs run at max performance.

Do you have a link to the heatsink you got or is it some kind of DIY heatsink? Is it comparable in performance to the previous heatsink you had when the water cooling isn't active?
-
Only for the 5 seconds that it takes for the system to throttle down to about half of that so no need for a new power supply 😄

That is rather depressing. I was fully expecting to be able to at least buy different cards within a series but it seems they do indeed not want to see these out in the open which is a shame. The same goes for the complete lack of support for the 51m chassis that has been advertised as upgradable and modular but with little to none of that having any positive effect for owners.

Yes I know, just having a bit of fun 🙂 This is what it seems like, same as with your heatsink 😄 Did you get the unified 3080 compatible heatsink that also offers water cooling capability or a different one?
-
Happy ending? So it was from Asia after all 😄 Happy endings aside that is an excellent price - I have stopped checking their ebay account in recent times as all my laptops are where I want them to be as of now but to get a 3080 at that price is pretty stunning.
-
About the current DGFF cards and especially that special order 3080Ti maybe @Dell-Mano_G can tell us if there are plans to offer it for users of the Alienware 51m or some previous workstation laptops? Dell would have a great way to distinguish itself by making this possible.

OLEDs do dim over time but I doubt that you will get an estimate that for new screens tells how normal PC use will result in x percent dimming after 1000/2000/5000 hours of use.
-
Is there a link to his modification and what parts he got for it? Asking for a P870TM friend of mine 😉
-
Wow, this is quite the adventure, is the card from Ali Express?
-
Yeah this is as good as it gets, I doubt anybody will be able to do more than that. I also think it is a miracle that this is possible given the size of the mainboard and the cooling, very impressive! So yes, 5.3 on 10 cores is epic and it will probably be some time until this can be exceeded as future processors will seemingly be limited to 8 performance cores.
-
This is indeed quite crappy and limitations like these make our lives needlessly complicated.
-
One of the reasons why until now I have never considered a laptop with AMD CPU is that interesting chassis never had Thunderbolt. Hope that will change at some point so that I may consider some multicore 16+ cores AMD powered DTR in the future.
-
No problem, let it be all it can be. And to be honest 5.3 on all cores ain't half bad on a laptop 😄
-
Can't say I like the fact that this is only a BGA book but the idea of the LPP seems simple and very effective. Not sure how much of it is patented as it seems to me that it would be easy to emulate by other manufacturers but it seems to be a game changer. Based on specs and real life performance it would probably be my choice of BGA book right now except that the price now is really quite high and that I need more memory and storage. I also love the 16:10 17" WQXGA screen.
-
I can imagine that your poor X170 is very disappointed right now 😉
-
Somebody please tell Clevo that DTRs do not HAVE to have ultra shitty battery life, the KM-G also is pretty hopeless. I also deactivated all that bling on the GT75, only kept the keyboard illumination.
-
Looked at it now and for some reason I had thought of a different model, what a monstrosity 😄 Must have been produced about two years after the HP Dragon when shiny plastic was more of a thing. I like my laptops with a matte / aluminium black finish and a matte screen so that early Clevo is a bit much design wise but gotta love the fact that it was all socketed back then.
-
Yep, that was VERY long ago. My favorite screen size is the one on this one: By my calculations with todays slim bezels we could easily fit a screen of that size in a chassis the size of the Alienware 18 or the MSI GT83 so much more compact compared to that 16 lbs monster 😄 First and at the same time last laptop with an 18.4" 4k display was this one by the way. Really liked the look and the keyboard arrangement (no hobbit numpad, full size arrow keys) but unfortunately only a BGA book:
-
No, there is not a single screen bigger than 17.3" but then not too long ago there wasn't a single 16 or 17" 16:10 screen and look where we are now. There are even 3 different resolutions for the 17" screens with 1920 x 1200, 2560 x 1600 and 3840 x 2400. As far as socketing goes Lenovo even has socketed GPUs for its upcoming 16" workstation so that would not even be that much of a surprise.
-
Probably not that much room for improvement compared to other designs and with that kind of power uptake. Yep, would be cool to ask. They seem to be into even numbers these days for screens like 14" and 16" so I would propose an 18 or 19" DTR 😄
-
The Legion is perfect for your use from what it looks like and 7 to 9 hours is very nice. If it was bigger and had even better cooling, more memory and more storage options it would probably run almost as long it just wouldn't fit your use case of lower volume for increased portability.
-
Some residual brain function obviously is a prerequisite for an informed decision 😄

By definition a big DTR will take away some sales from laptops of the same brand, no idea why you would dispute that. As for the poor battery performance of DTRs it is a myth and only due to Clevos ineptitude and not by design. Battery life was a lot better on the all socketed MSI WT75 for example and @win32asmguywill be able to confirm that. As for brands not being a thing in the laptop world I invite you to have a look at the forums of HP, Lenovo or MSI and certainly others where there are a lot of brand loyalists. Anyway I have made my point. There is not really too much incentive to continue this as some of us here kicked around a number of good ideas imo but until AMD or Nvidia show some support we will continue to get BGA books with an occasional socketed CPU or GPU but nothing else.
-
I am not sure that the issue with a DTR system is not simply that nobody makes any money off it. The issue probably is that companies like to make LOADS of money. Now a DTR poses two issues on the financial side: 1. It probably sells enough to make a small profit, maybe even a relatively handsome one but certainly not huge sums. 2. It shows up the thinner and lighter BGA books that by comparison look weak in multiple aspects and sales will probably be affected negatively. This can be an issue but then if only one company offers a DTR they can also get customers from other brands who will switch brands for a proper DTR.
