It’s been a long time coming…

[DaMafiaGamer]

Well where do I start? I joined a year and a half ago but have been inactive, partially due to life lol, kids to look after, work… The OG NBR guys would know how it feels haha.

 

I miss the times I’d post up sketchy laptop mods showing crazy wattage pulls, well they’re returning 😂

In that time off the forums I learnt how to code ecu’s, specifically BMW’s with E-Sys, Tool32 and ISTA, provisioning CarPlay, upgrading I Steps and even remapping… quite interesting work and dare I say I enjoy it as much as I did shunt modding haha.

 

I would also like to apologise for not uploading the Clevo Dsanke Bioses, I’ll be updating that thread shortly with the link.

Where is the old NBR Gang at, you guys still about? @Papusan @Mr. Fox @Vasudev @jaybee83 @Reciever

Welcome back to the Forums! 

 

Still many of us quite active, you may find some of the overclockers in the Official Benchmark thread, seems to also be a generalish hangout thread as well :)

Hey @DaMafiaGamer been a long time. Got busy with life and OC'ing isn't any fun with every OEM locking it out, I miss the days when i OC'ed the hell out of crap mid-range  which was very enjoyable. Just waiting for right Phoenix Point APU currently most of them are vaporware in India unless I pay top dollars for soldered DRAM,WiFi, SSD model.

[DaMafiaGamer]

Thanks guys haha, yeah @Vasudev I miss the days you could overclock a 1070 mxm to perform like a desktop 1080 as it had more cuda cores than a 1070 lol. Safe to say Nvidia would NEVER do that again. No vbios locks, could mod the wattage with ease, ah those were simpler times, now you’ve got to deal with NVIDIA’s cancerous dynamic boost, ec limitations and more, that’s not even including the worst: everything being BGA…

 

Now that Clevo abandoned us I’m left looking at framework and those measly 8 lanes of pcie 4.0 the framework 16 offers for the gpu, oh well an upgradable gpu is still something I guess.

The P750FM needs some work, I think the 1080 started dying on me after too many experiments lmao

 

If an RTX 3080 somehow ends up in my orbit it may be time to look into how to get supplemental power in it

Hola brother. Long time no seen. Happy you found the right place with us older NBR gang. Hope all is well with you. As other pointed out. Laptops in all shapes and forms is now dead. For me… I went back to desktops. And same time using older laptops without the dreaded soldered mess. I hope I can find an used X170 or an P870 of the latest model. I won’t touch or buy the new modern trash. Happy to see you here old friend 🙂

Yes, I don't know what happened most taptop oems are using soldered DRAM/Wi-Fi/SSD even on thinkpads with Raptor lake or Zen 4. Its a mess.

Welcome back,  I have given up OC'ing. Just not into it anymore. Love reading about it all, but just want to sit at my pc's and work these days. Well that and shoot the poop here too!
