What mods are you using? I should have tried some, but it's been so fun just playing on it's own. I now wonder if I should have waited for the remastered edition coming out at the end of the year, lol.

Gone are the days when the customer mattered and companies stand behind their products. Intel would have been happy to sell you their overclocking warranty had they not ended it because of its lack of popularity: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000058556/processors.html I remember when I worked as a tech while in undergrad and Intel would overnight me motherboards or CPUs that had gone bad in customer's systems (one reason we built our systems with MBs made by Intel). No real questions asked, no ridiculous troubleshooting steps required.

Good call, I even looked at the bios name and still managed to get it wrong, lol. Not enough coffee this am.

One of the posts that went down with the ship when NBR died that I needed today after picking up a cheap XPS 9510 from Best Buy, so I figured I'd repost it here. Dell's lack of undervolting on their recent XPS systems is super annoying but thankfully on their 10th/11th Gen stuff there is a way around it. I've tested this on my 9500, 9700, and 9510 and it worked like a champ. It does NOT work on some 11th Gen (such as my wife's 9310 2-in-1 i5-1135G7). It does work on the Precision variants such as the 5560 (same as the 9510) and 5760 (same as the 9710). This quick tutorial is something you use at your own risk. Neither myself or NBT is responsible if you mess something up, it doesn't work for you, or anything else happens. I cannot take full credit for this, I found this page which helped me tremendously. It has been suggested that these variables can change with different bioses, and that's possible. It's also possible that Dell with enable undervolting on their own, but not likely. Having said that these flags have been tested and are working on: Dell XPS 9700 Bioses: 1.04, 1.06, 1.32, 1.5.0, 1.6.3, 1.8.2, 1.9.2, 1.12.0 Dell XPS 9500 Bioses: 1.4.0, 1.6.1, 1.7.1, 1.8.1, 1.9.1, 1.12.0 Dell XPS 9510 Bioses: 1.5.1, 1.9.0, 1.12.0 Dell XPS 9710 Bioses: 1.4.1, 1.9.1 If you don't have one of the bioses above or you want to upgrade your bios and it hasn't been tested please view the guide found here.

How did you find us out of curiosity? And welcome!

Thanks, I hope it's reasonable.

This works on your 75mbps connection?

Bought an open box kids bike trailer from Amazon so I can haul my daughter around. These things are expensive and after research I ended up selecting a "higher tier" one which was even more. Saving ~35% on a "Like new" trailer sounded good. Turns out some terrible person purchased the trailer and then threw some POS something in there that wasn't even near the same and returned it to Amazon. Amazon didn't check it out by any means and then I had to waste my time returning it. I messaged amazon to let them know they were had (although I know it's a fairly common scam), but they don't seem to care a lick. They'll probably resell the stupid thing, lol. What a waste.

Yep totally know the feeling. Comcast really limits the upload speeds here. I had to get their 1.2Gb package just to get ~50Mbps of upload. I'd be happy with 100-200Mbps given my plex server. It would be nice for streaming 4k content, but oh well.

Since my wife is due in September and the plan is for her to not return to work, I will sadly be skipping out on the next gen GPUs/CPUs. This will be the first time I've done so in a number of years. After residency I plan to upgrade though, so another 2 years being "stuck" with my 3080/12900k, first world problems for sure. At least my consolation prize is another kiddo, my first one is by far the best thing I've ever done in life.

Looks like great speeds that you're achieving with that AX setup. I sold my AX11000/AX88U mesh setup because of some issues handling 50+ devices and poor wireless handoffs, but the speeds were good. I'm now on a single Ruckus R650 which provides better coverage than my two routers without issues handling lots of devices. However my max speeds are ~850Mbps. I even tried an Engenius EWS377AP and speeds were similar. Nothing prosumer/commercial seems to be able to reach the max speeds of the Asus retail routers.

Hah for a moment there I was like "what is this mystical JWST application i must install." They have some amazing pictures already, excited for what else they show.

I use a homeassistant (https://www.home-assistant.io/) on a raspberry Pi with some Z-wave smart plugs as well as a few Kasa smart plugs. It's really easy to schedule things. It has options for energy monitoring and such as well, but I've not gotten into that. There is really a ton of stuff out there for home automation stuff with lots of ways to go. Sadly your basically running the AC and a heater with all the mining your doing. Does it still turn a profit after the dramatic drop?

Why would NVIDIA have any say in the heatsink design by Clevo? That doesn't make sense to me.

I'm replaying the witcher 3 and it's every bit as amazing as I remember.

Whatever works in the end.

It's just not really feasible to have a laptop with a full desktop variant GPU. Stock GPU heatsinks are thicker than a stack of notebooks in order to keep that 300-350W at reasonable temps. No one is going to produce a 2+" thick notebook this day so the 0.5% of laptop gamers (already a small percentage of the market) can buy it.

I mean there are quite a few options. You can look into the Dell XPS 13" as it has a great build quality and good battery life, but everything is soldered and non-replaceable. There is also the 14" LG Gram that is built well and it has 2 NVMe slots so you can have a fair amount of space if you need it (but the ram is soldered).

Sadly they canceled the 75", but I ended up going from an older 65" Q70D to a 65" QN85B which is a pretty good step up for basically $50 after selling the old TV. Not bad in the end, but not quite as nice as the first deal.

Yeah I really hate when AMD takes a page out of Intel's play book. Sadly neither company really care what customers want.

I do think it goes against the idea of the forum where multiple people participate in a conversation and it helps future users out who have similar questions. Otherwise this turns into a discord server. Not sure what @Recieverthinks though.

The XPS 15's thermal cooling solution is basically the same that it's been since the redesign of the XPS, really no excuses from Dell. I've had laptops of the same thickness with much better thermal performance. Having said that, it'll be find for non-strenuous tasks. 9550 (released 2015): 9520: It looks like NotebookCheck's review is finally up: https://www.notebookcheck.net/2022-Dell-XPS-15-9520-3-5K-OLED-laptop-review-Skip-or-buy.621506.0.html "If the CPUs in the XPS 15 9500 or 9510 were too slow for your specific applications, then the 9520 would be worth considering. Its 12th gen Core i7-12700H can offer 70 percent and 40 percent faster multi-thread performance than the 10th gen Core i7-10875H and 11th gen Core i7-11800H, respectively, without significantly impacting battery life. The inherent boost to integrated graphics performance can also be enough to satisfy most office users without needing to upgrade to any pricey discrete Nvidia options. Power users will appreciate the significant gains in processor performance over Intel 11th gen or 10th gen options. For more basic or moderate office tasks, however, the extra horsepower of the 12th gen series may not be worth the price uptick. Outside of CPU performance, however, the experience remains the same as on the XPS 9510 or even 9500. The Nvidia GPU has been downclocked from the 9510 and so the benefits of faster DDR5 RAM has been minimized. Certain changes that we would have loved to see like higher refresh displays, a higher resolution webcam, proper Wi-Fi 6E support, or a privacy shutter continue to be absent. If the faster 12th gen CPU is not appealing, then you can instead purchase the XPS 15 9510 which has the exact same display and GPU options as our 9520 but at lower prices."

Sadly I haven't even seen any reviews on it, I assumed it wasn't available yet but it seems that you can order it. Every XPS for the past several models has had native speedshift. Thermal performance will not be good. It hasn't been good in any XPS and the 12th generation Intel is a power hog that runs hot.

I just bought a 75" Samsung QN90A QLED TV. I was NOT planning on buying a TV, but I got a smoking deal on it. We will see if Samsung actually ships it. I've got so much stuff I need to sell, lol.
