Yes, the plug has resistor inside, otherwise the system refuses to recognize the Omen 350W. Also yes, 230W is the max stock PSU, which is not bad but both other options run a bit better and obviously have more room for experimentation.
Sadly it's a long route around the motherboard and I'm not too keen on doing it.
That's why I was wondering about two PSUs. Even though it's a thick trace/pin it's not a barrel connector. We'll have to see if I mod it successfully.
Yeah, or the P5200 with the 16GB RAM, that would've carried out the system into another couple of years.
It's just that the first gen i7 was HOT even compared to the QX9300. I think that's the reason 8760w/8770w received different cooler.
We'll see 🙂
Dream spec indeed, although seeing the return of 16:10 I'm dreaming about a new machine - that ZBook Fury G1i 18 is rather tempting, but the price is prohibitive for now.
MANY THANKS! That's a shunt modding, yes? Other than liquid metal, what should I put on it? Solder a thick wire, or a copper plate? First time doing it, so no idea what should I do.
