Where can I find binned CPU's if I want to try a different 10900K or 10900KF in my X-170?
-
To be completely honest, I never hear them kick on for example, if I am playing Diablo 4 or something and the fans in the X170 kick up, you can hear that , compared to that, I I cannot remember the last time I heard the fans in the power brick kick on. I know they are working because I put my hand behind it and air is flowing. But I am really glad I went that route over 2 power bricks.

I recently have been upgrading my NIC in the laptop from Wi-Fi 6 to 6E and now to BE (Wi-Fi 7). In most laptops there are 2 antennas and they are usually routed through the laptop screen somewhere. What I want to do is split those 2 antennas and have the second line going to ports on the back of the laptop for external antennas like puting a wi-fi card in a desktop with 2 antennas sticking out the back of the card slot in the hopes of getting longer range or distance and faster speeds off the wi-fi with external antennas. I just don't want to disable or cut the internal antenna wires.

I replaced my Intel / Killer Wi-Fi 6 nic with a WiFi 6E card and Windows 10 will not display 6ghz wi-fi networks, but you can enable 6Ghz networks in the adapter settings. It just won't let you choose a 6Ghz network in the wi-fi list (Windows 10) Then I upgraded the NIC to a BE200NGW for 6Ghz (160 and 320 Mhz) and changed to windows 11 and everything shows up and I can connect to 6Ghz networks in Windows 11.

When I bought my x170 I got the single 780watt charger, it is a beast its almost like a miniature rack server power supply with fans, etc.
-
I saw a listing on amazon for the IETS GT600 , but its only a listing, nothing for sale yet and their website status hasn't changed at all. It must be vaporware.
-
Well, I tried hacking the registry, apparently you can enable 6Ghz wi-fi through making some registry changes, but the 6Ghz networks won't show up in the list of wi-fi networks. Then I got serious about using NTLite to edit the ISO packages for windows, waited for 23H2 and spend a few hours here and there and after about 4 weeks messing with edited 23H2 ISO's settled on one with all the bloat from windows 11 removed or disabled and installed in on the computer as a fresh install.

Installed the BE200NGW and it is working fine...... 160Ghz and 320Ghz Bands
-
Has anyone tried this on their X170sm-g's? I cannot seem to get it to detect the fans and sensors. https://getfancontrol.com/
-
Ok, I am confused the Killer 1650 is what I pulled out of the x170 sm-g and I ordered the BE200NGW and NGW cards fit the x170-sm-g. Did I miss something when ordering the new wi-fi card or will it fit as an "E" key card?

I just got it to work through the browser

Trying an ftp client and its not working. Oh well. I guess I can use Fedora, I prefer K.

On Knoppix website, the latest version for download is 9.1 and it is almost 2 years old. It seems like the latest versions get released on DVD with the latest Linux Magazines (print) and they are only available in German. Since Knoppix 9.1, versions 9.2 and 9.3 have been released with the magazine and are available no where. Is it possible to get the magazine with the Knoppix 9.3 DVD or USB key in the United States somewhere, all I am getting is dead ends.

Yeah, the wi-fi 7 routers on the market now start at $699 and go up to $2499, how on earth did routers get that expensive, you could build a mini tower with 2 quad port nics, one for inbound and one for outbound traffic with opensource router software and make out about the same as an enterprise router for less than $1000.
-
Well, they are finally starting to show up...... Wi-Fi 7 nics for laptops...... Hello full speed wi-fi over a 2GB fiber connection.... https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0CLV9C8TZ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

These are great ideas, but how do you fit 2.5 inch drives in an x170sm-g? Can the space the battery is in be converted? I mean 45 minutes of run time is nice, but it really needs a wall outlet to run 🙂
-
Googled it and apparently its not. The Amazon ASIN is B0BPYP2PRF and if Amazon UK would ship it to the US , that would be cool.
-
If I am going to go Mini ITX with limited PCIe slots, sure it is somewhat portable, still would need a screen and keyboard, I might as well build a full or dual full tower and get all 6 or 8 PCI express slots for any cards I want....... I cannot get ITX with MXM graphics cards that fit flat on the back of the ITX motherboard..... 😕
-
Now I am wondering how much money it would take to buy X170sm-g cases and parts from Clevo, but spend the R&D to design my own 14th gen motherboard and cooling solution with the number of M.2 slots I want and update the MXM standard to the next version and release updated cards....... Part of the problem is sure people want their light weight tab-tops, but when people see what you can do with a DTR laptop....... things change...... and it wasn't at long ago that all laptops were between 8 and 12 lbs......people have gotten weak.... And there is a company that makes solid state cooling solutions without fans and it is scalable ..... might be a thought.
-
The search for an updated version of the X170sm-g that takes 14th gen processors it like trying to talk to an empty room. Maybe something will happen with 15th/ 16th gen, PCIe 6.x and DDR6 ram..... I really don't want to build a full tower and put it on casters to travel with it. Right now I think Intel has a problem with not enough PCIe lanes also , at least compared to AMD...... if you want multiple SSD's.

At 4TB per drive, I did not put them in any raid configuration, but that is an option. I use each drive for different things so raid wasn't that important in my case. I really wanted 8TB drives, but I am not going to pay $800-$1000 each for them....lol Since the 4TB 990 drives are single sided, I can't see why they don't release a dual sided 8TB version of them. Its sort of sad in a way because 3.5 in hard drives are over 20TB pushing closer to 30TB per drive now. I would love to see 16TB M.2 nvme drives, that....... maxing an x170sm-g out with 16TB drives would mean 43TB in nvme's and 2TB in the SATA M.2 slot, which It would be nice also if there were some 4TB or 8TB SATA M.2 drives......
-
Black Friday specials are kicking around and I got the 990's for $249 each so I upgraded. With the Western Digital, this sets me up at 14TB of storage. They are all single sided drives, I am hoping to see 8TB or 16TB versions at some point in the next 2 years.

14th Gen Desktop replacement Laptops?
Snowleopard replied to Snowleopard's topic in What Laptop Should I Buy?
They are also thermal throttled to be that thin and choke under heavy loads...... -
I currently have a 10th gen Desktop replacement laptop (Cleveo x170sm-g) and right now Clevo doesn't have any 13th or 14th gen laptops that take desktop processors. I saw some reviews of the MSI Titan (Current model) but am looking for something with an actual socketed desktop processor, 4 so dimm slots (256gb ram), a RTX4090 or ATI (AMD) equivalent GPU and minimum 4 nvme slots, 6 or 8 would be better and dual 300 watt power bricks or a single 780 w power brick like I have on my Clevo. More USB-C gen 3.2 2x2 ports or (USB 4) would be nice also. 4k , 5k or 8k screen.

Anyone trying out the 990 Pro 4TB drives in their X170's yet? 4TB just came available maybe 2 weeks ago, with 3 of them, that will set you up with 12TB + 2TB in the SATA slot.
