  1. Wouldnt you just need to provide that sensor? I seem to to recall something like that on LTT forums where a modder got around that on an Nvidia GPU, I'll see if I can find it, I could be recalling it incorrectly. https://linustechtips.com/topic/1052684-clevo-p750zm-upgrade-gtx1060-graphics-card/ Also modded internal power to his card, if I could do that I would just keep the P750FM and keep modding it.
  2. Oh well, I actually have a fair bit of interest in AMD MXM as well (RX 6600 / 5700) Guess I'll need to make some listings tonight
  3. I wouldnt say I am afraid perse, just ignorant. If there is a write up or two on the net I can read (and re-read) then I have no problem with trial and error. Does this mean that the aforementioned P870DMx_RTX would enable RTX support for the DM3? That is also quite attractive if I were to lower the price a bit and sell the GPU after I was done with it. Performance is obviously a key metric but I also enjoy being able to tinker with a laptop over time, the Ranger used to be that system for me until I hit a wall with it. One of the main reasons I am looking that the DM3 is because my P750FM doesnt have the aux power cable and I am unsure if that is something I can wire in myself internally. Plus its one of, if not the best laptop around so there is always that angle too.
  4. Try it again, I think I got it correctly this time for reaction limit, should be 75 per day.
  5. I'd probably just get one of those hybrid air/water coolers at that point. Not interested in 20xx in the slightest, not worth the effort unless its dirt cheap but as a result isnt a variable to plan against. Im also interested in seeing if I can run AMD + Nvidia at the same time from a curiosity standpoint. The P870 can handle up to 10th Gen ES (mobile BGA to LGA wafer) and if it can handle 30xx then it has plenty of life. Only reason I am not using my FM at the moment is due to the 1080 hard locking the system. Dont know if its the 1080 or the motherboard perse though.
  6. Any reason this system cant use rtx?
  7. Dont forget there were plenty that simply could not upgrade because of the mining hype/covid and have been saving for the next gen.
  8. Will pay attention in 5 years when they have something to present lol CP2077 was initially announced in 2012, considering how its likely to use assets and functions that were created for CP2077 dev time should be shorter but CDPR tends to have longer development cycles for better and/or worse
  9. Sadly no, that is an avenue I really want to pursue at some point though. Its just the plan we selected from the provider, 12 hours free usage and 12 hours at some higher rate. No one really at the house during the day so things are lean during the day and ramped up over night, I have my systems on timers/schedules so that they are all off an on when appropriate. For the purposes of the winter though, My GPU mining setup heats the house pretty well when I distribute it in key areas and still costs less than half as much as it does to cool the place with 0 mining during the summer. I realize that my scenario is probably not standard. If seeking immediate profits there are basically no great options at the moment, sadly, this predicament isnt exclusive to mining as stocks and currency have been much more volatile as well. Thanks for sharing, I hadnt considered the service-ability standpoint with sourcing parts. I do have a collection of modded BIOSes, I tend to collect them as I see them for such scenarios but most of it comes from Dsanke (as I understand it) for pretty much all of the DTR Clevo laptops. Without the modded sBIOS I probably wouldnt even entertain picking one up. Its a bummer B0B never made an account here, hopefully at some point that can change :) If I were to pick this up I would definitely look for spare parts in advance as this would be the prime time to start looking into that to prevent from future potential down time. An issue that I have recently learned from fixing my car, some parts for the RSX were surprisingly difficult to find particularly through COVID since everyone was fixing their buckets instead of buying new.
  10. Ethereum is dead since having switched over to Proof of Stake, there are plenty of other coins to mine. The cost/benefit isnt there for general public but my power is free 12 hours a day and it will heat my house during the winter. I already have all the infrastructure in place so no reason to not run it.
  11. Good Morning everyone! So I recently came across this listing here on ebay. Its a P870DM3 for 550 OBO from eluktronics I was thinking of transplanting what I have in the P750FM (15.6 Frankentop) to the P870DM3, are there any huge design flaws of the DM3 I should be aware of? My current system already has a 9th gen 9700F, and I have half a dozen 6th gen 6500T chips laying about for bios-mods, RAM and SSD's so really most of the cost would be a new video card at some point as my current 1080 has an off center die (custom heatsink) I figure if I sell my P157SM-A, T440p, 5820x Precision (all of which I dont use at all for varying reasons) and some spare parts I have laying around I should at the very least break even in terms of fiscal burden over time. Especially if I pitch for 450-475 @electrosoft @Papusan @Ashtrix @Mr. Fox @Etern4l @cylix @Meaker I have been using my AM4 system to float me for a bit now but its about time for mining season again so the AM4 ITX box will go back to running 5x GPU's to heat up the house
  12. Not that it would help you save any money but isnt Intel HEDT still in the rumor mill?
  13. It would if those monitors werent riddled with issues and compromises The Aorus one is the only one that came close last I saw and its using compression because it cant actually hit 4k120hz Honestly though I was just looking for a 40ish" panel with 4k and freesync My 42" TV still works but just looking ahead to see what I would get as I dont want the hassle of the newer SmartTV's and setting it up on its own VLAN to prevent it from scanning my network.
  14. We disabled those before opening the forum. While my cohost Hiew simply didnt want negative bandwagons (which is fair), I had similar reasoning in that, anything critical should be handled constructively in each members respective posts via dialogue. I am of the opinion that if you cant be bothered to defend your position via dialogue its a position not worth defending, by extension if you cant be bothered to construct your own criticism towards a particular idea then people probably dont want to hear it anyways. Anything that cant be resolved or degenerates into a "shouting match" can be resolved with a report. I just made it home and will look at the what the limitations are set at for "reactions" though to be completely transparent I personally wanted to reinstitute a "REP" system but as far as I can tell there is no means currently built into the forum software to easily allow that, which is a huge bummer personally. "Reactions" are the best we can do without hiring someone to facilitate that for us and right now with no ads and paying out of pocket we have to keep the "Scope of the Project" limited to what we can do ourselves. A bit off topic for this thread but it should serve as context. If no posts are made I will edit this post with the limit setting. EDIT: Have bumped up to 75 for now. Will likely increase again in the near future just need to get a changelog going for the next announcement. The setting has been mostly fine but it has bumped heads with some of our more frequent users so its been on my mind, mostly because what I stated above. Which is why I liked the NBR system of "like" and separate "value" for "rep".
  15. I think the limit is either 50 or 75 at the moment
  16. Its mostly nostalgia purchase but also buying in advance of the coming winter for some hwbot submissions. Slows down considerably at work usually as well so I'll be remoting home running benchmarks and putting in more work into the forum :) The only bummer is they arent EVGA branded (not that it really matters functionally), they are PNY XLR8 cards.
  17. I could see it make sense in counties like South Korea that has pretty good internet service. I think I tried looking into at one point and just decided that I didnt like the input lag
  18. Yep! I intend to pick 2 up for such a purpose. Used to have one a long time ago, it is sadly where I learned of the 1GB vram marketing vs reality trope lol it was good fun at the time. Now I want a couple for nostalgia but also for benching.
  19. It is our pleasure :) I used to have a k53, sandy laptop with 540m right? Put a lot of miles on mine when I had it. Welcome to the forums! Be sure to check out some of the how-to's for how to work with some of the finer aspects of the forum software :)
  20. Current rate is 60/each I may be able to move the needle depending on how much interest there is here.
