Good Afternoon NBT! There appears to be an issue with our backend which is causing abnormally high loading times and generally making the forum unresponsive. We are aware of this issue and are attempting to diagnose. For now the behavior is a bit unpredictable where you may have snappy responsiveness for a few tabs then goes back to nearly unresponsive. I will report back when I have more information to share, apologies and appreciate your patience. Chris

You can edit that content into your post.

This thread has run its course. Thanks

Virtual Sandbox to do anything and everything you want with it. IT Training typically, can use it for Plex/JellyFin, remote game streaming, self-host all the things. Imagination and to some degree, budget, are the only limitations.

Please look over the Marketplace Rules when posting here. Thanks!

Very true, I did sooth my heart at some point with an LG C2 (open box) so Im not losing any sleep. I just dont like sending things to a landfill if it cant be helped :)

Sorry was also tied up with work. Nah I didn't find the part that I suspected was the issue for a reasonable price. I believe it was binned by my family when they re-organized the garage. Was a little bummed but they needed the space for something else. After not finding the part I was thinking of just getting a controller board in a similar manner like people do when salvaging a laptop panel but again the family binned it :(

It was a feature that I didnt even have to request, as Hiew is of the same thought process. We did toy with a couple of other themes and just kind of stuck with the 2-3 up til now. In other news, I have put in my notice with work. Lets just say things spiraled into an untenable scenario that was wildly outside of what could be justified under the current wage. While I will be acquiring a skill or two in the interim to update my resume between employment, I will have the time needed to work on a few things here that have long been on my mind.

If you are using the default theme the white hand in the bottom right hand of a post is basically not viewable. Its a goof of the forum software in my honest opinion.

That transition occurred around the time of Haswell, hq (soldered) had replaced mq (socketed) respectively for the CPU SKU

Yes it's been observed on my end as well as the backend. It's going to take some time before we can commit a full dive work/home has been hectic due to power issues up here in dfw. Definitely the weekend is what we're targeting.

Cheaper and encourages replacing the laptop altogether instead of improving what you have.

Perfect, there was a recent update to the forum software to address some issues but we're still monitoring it all the same.

This would be most welcome news !

There are still some things that need looking into but its more of a "see where the trend starts" type of metric. Otherwise some updates and maintenance was done to the forum and things should be back to snuff.

I mostly only tested to see if it work. It appears that this CPU only tends to work in systems with QM87 chipsets. Didnt work in any system that I had with HM87, so t440p, E5540, m4800 and m6800 were all good. The one thing that I didnt like though, is when taking the CPU out it basically damaged a couple of the pins. Havent used it for any testing since then. I dont recall having any temperature problems though. I might have documented it in my old thread that might be here or in the NBRchive

While I would welcome that notion, sadly the internet is a giant mass of spam, bots and disagreeable people. Still, carving our small slice of the pie has been an interesting venture :)

When my colleague has some down time he will look into the forums performance, appears to be a huge uptick in traffic but before we figure out countermeasures we want to know where its coming from. Its probably the first real vacation he's had in 10+ years so I dont want to claw him back unless its something more severe.

That is not true iirc Ran 32GB in an m6800 with the 4980hq a couple of years ago. 4980hq shines only where L4 cache is utilized. Long since sold the system though so I can't get validation.

That would be crossposting, which is explicitly not endorsed on the forum :) If you had benched something using that version of OS, it would be more than fine. However there is no mention of benchmarking what so ever, instead pointing to IoT devices. We play it pretty loose here but thats reaching.

The sluggish response of the forum has been observed on my end as well, will reach out to Hiew when he gets back from visiting his family. Also that link should go in the Win11 thread

Its due to those horror stories that I dont personally use Biometrics on my cellular. With enough time and effort anything or anyone can be compromised of course, but it just doesnt sit well with me.

Thats true, but ever since reading this horror story its been something on my checklist to look for. https://www.overclock.net/threads/xfx-790i-ultra-rma-bent-worse-than-my-a-key-finger-56k-warning.783513/?nested_view=1&sortby=oldest Mine does have something of a backplate but in that corner there is no screw to secure that point of the motherboard. If you look at the pic again you will see the slim piece of metal before it and the open air frame.

Snapshot of the current configuration Birds eye view A much too large NVME heatsink that keeps it running at 32c. I noticed here that the PSB was beginning to bend where the pcie clip is, addressed it later. NVME to PCIE adapter, also put some thermal pads to counter the bending of the PCB from progressing. PCIE extension ribbon, mocking up how I want to mount things. Locking it in, later moved the frame to the end. Now running an ITX motherboard with a spare pcie slot thanks to NVME. How the desk is more or less set up, some cable clean up has been done since then.

CPU fans are also pointed inward so as to push air through the NVME heatsink and by extension the 3090 backplate. NVME tends to only sit at 32c and my junction temp (3090) tends to peak around 84-86c.
