    Hey Everybody, if egpus are going to be the future of laptops, would it be possible to connect a Desktop GPU to the laptop since they come with cooling already equipped? This adt-egpu looks to need an enclosure, so if all this added hardware is needed why cant a setup to plug into a laptop?

    Hey ssj92 I tried an aetina gtx 1080 in my m17xr4 and got an Orange BSOD also tried many vbios and drivers from Aetina website but nothing worked so went back to P4000 and it runs great

    I noticed in the 4th pic the thermal pad that goes under the gpu card I also had one in my m17xr4 and removed it, the temps of the ssd/hdd dropped 10c and the card (p4000) also runs cooler. When I first got the m17xr4 in Feb. 2022 I installed a 2tb qvo in the first slot and put the 500gb hdd in the 2nd slot next to the gpu. The hdd was running over 60c to about peaking at 70c so I switched the drives because ssd can handle more heat than hdd. Was not happy with the temps so the next time I opened the gpu and saw that thermal pad I decided to remove it to see what would happen and it paid off alot. It must be letting air flow from the ssd and cooling off the whole inside. The ssd hangs around 50c to 52c and the P4000 at 60c under load like mining and 3DMark episodes

    But thats what downloaded, maybe I have to start it up!?! OK it was just the installer, Its installing now, I was expecting to download the whole game file and then do the install, old fashioned mentality I guess lol OK its 1.21gb installed

    Am not telling you what to do but do her a favor and put in win 10 and if she realizes the fallout might be better than the whole win11 thing

    Clicked on your link Force widgets, no need for me, I uninstalled Edge completly, am having no detrimental affects at all. But looks interesting, another experiment to try! OH! I am on win 10

    OK Thanks Papusan I just grebbed it, small file 152mb, it doesn't look like my kinda game, I am a Bethesda junkie myself or was, haven't been gaming lately, but one never knows, new places can spark a curiousity, I just might dive in, it looks to be from 2019 and cant imagine why it's only 152mb unless its online then that would make sence. The Elder scrolls and Fallout were such big files and then the mods just made it necessary for bigger drives. I did notice it on some site but then forgot about it, so you just reminded me and it was that easy

    You Mr.Fox are the last Person I would have thought to have been self taught! Congrats and thanks for the luxury of postings of your hard earned knocks over the years!!! I must say I have learned alot from these forums and the web but lately the industry is giving much grief and can get discouraged at where it seem to be going. You have made many posts along the way and much I am in agreement with and in hopes this tech takes a more favorable path. A quote I keep in mind is "The more things change, The more they stay the same". Hopefully the Tech giants see the need to fill the niche for PC Enthusiasts who tinker on their machines.

    I don't understand, I feel I am missing something. Am I supposed to go through all the drivers to see which gives the best performance on each of my machine's? A daunting task! I read through the different threads, posted here and others but still come out overwhelmed and confused. I never had a computer class, just learned from Google and the likes of NBR and others, getting enough knowledge to make it this far but still feel some underlying misinformation still lacking in some thing that might be common knowledge to everyone on the forums. I know most on here had some kind of computer training of some kind by the knowledge expressed and I am picking up the crumbs, but I do feel amassed with accomplishment along with a lack of what is unknown. sorry for the rant but groping in the dark. P.S. Took so long to write this Mr.Fox posted a new post that gave me some insight!!!

    Depending if you own or rent your options will vary. One possibility is build a corner closet with a vent to the attic. This would aesthetically and give more privacy. But at minimum should be in a box with a duct to the outside possibly through the attic or a wall. It looks like this wont be a short term thing, at least until we get a candy machine that just pops out coins. Just some thoughts as I am going through my own experimentations.

    Here is a link to exactly the thorn in your side, I go to this site just to check on what windows update is doing to the PCs in the field and if something catches my eye but this https://www.askwoody.com/2022/ewaste-or-usable-week-2/ reminded me of what you have been saying for well close to a decade!

    Hey I remember that song, We used to sing it in the U.S.M.C. only it was spelled different F-U-C - K-E-D A-G-A-I-N it even had a chorus

    I think thats a smart move, it just doesn't have enough of a foundation to rely on BUT if it takes off I'd like to have a hook in it!

    Yeah, I can't bring myself to spend cash on it but I'll spend cash on mxm cards and run my laptops to death and my electric bill, but like the stock market it will go back up. In "The Wolf of Wall st" Matthew McConaughey told Leo "its like a plane, it goes up, it goes down but it never lands" Yeah I know its not the best advice but it really gives me Hope! Hey has anyone heard of this processor from this co. Tachyum Prodigy, https://www.tachyum.com/ they are making some substantial claims in performance, I'd like to get this in a robot.

    I have to agree with this 100%, but certain situations like the "crypto price drop" I am acctually cheering it on because the lower it drops when I get a payout the lower tax rate I will have to pay!!! YAY I was searching around to figure out WWW and found this news https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwjbkpLbkN33AhWgkGoFHa4rDGIQvOMEKAB6BAgDEAE&url=https%3A%2F%2Ffortune.com%2F2022%2F05%2F13%2Fluna-terra-ust-stablecoin-do-kwon-wife-protection-crypto-crash%2F&usg=AOvVaw0mCkTeBvtQ9MiclNuUHFAw CRAZY WORLD it has become. I just want more MXM cards!!!

    I am so glad I blocked the new updates, on win 10, I saw .NET 5 and decided to wait and blocked it

    Hey Aaron4412, These Quadro P4000's seem to be locked, I wish there was a way to flash an unlocked vbios on them I would not hesitate but searched around found nothing and ssj92 on this forum said they are locked vbios and wish there was a way around it. Its a good card and the mxm's are hard to find above this performance level, was looking at P5000 but if I go for a higher price might as well go for higher performance at least RTX 3000 but nothing in sight and rumors of RTX A4000 so I trying my patience hoping to keep these MXM laptops alive

    Hey jeamn, Look in Gpuz at the bus interface and make sure it reads PCIe x 16 3.0 @ x 16 3.0 and not x8 3.0. I recently put that card in my m17x r4 and got similar scores as you but then noticed Gpuz bus interface x8 3.0. I so I removed and cleaned the contacts of the card and got even worse numbers so I went back in just loosened the screws and applied pressure to the card to fully seat in the socket, tighened it up and got the PCIe x 16 3.0 @ x 16 3.0 reading and my scores went up ! Real happy with this card I bought a 2nd one and put it in m18xr2 now I want to put one in Precision M6700, but not till I get something more powerful for one of the Alienwares. I thought it was a great deal at $280 also. Am still tempted to buy another but hoping for RTX mxm to show up. Hope this helps

    Hey Aaron44126, Just a thought, I had a drive disappear once because of changing drive letters in device manager because I didn't like the way windows arranged the letters so I reset the way I liked and a drive disappeared and a usb stick would not show. Drove me crazy for a few hours until i reset the drive letters again. I'm just saying, not that I think that is the problem you seem to be having but windows you never know.

    Thanks Maxware79, Thats a very minute difference that could cause alot of grief!!!

    Should I buy it? An m18xr3 CPU heatsink to put in m18xr2? cant find anything on the difference of the 2 heatsinks. The m18r3 CPU heatsink has a copper vapor chamber that I think will keep my i7-3940 cooler than the triple pipe I have in there now. It throttles at 85C and when I increased the throttle to 90c it cold clocked it. Just knocked it out dead. So no sence in overclocking, but if I can keep it cooler with the vapor chamber I should be able to clock it higher. It doesn't stay hot, just peaks for a couple of seconds and drops back down to a compfortable temp. I can't see any difference but the 1 with the vapor chamber is $60 so before I get it just want to make sure I don't need a hammer and a chisel to wedge it in. Any insight would be much appreciated.

    I had to bump Mr.Fox's suggestion because coincidentaly this morning I did a search on google on overclocking my non xmp ram on the m18xr2 for some unknown reason and now I want to scroll the new thermal management thread on notebooktalk!!! This is One amazing site!!!
