Disappointed in the forum

[MatticMass]

I am admittedly and obviously completely new to the depths of actual modification of computers. Upgrading sure put pin mods and using spi clip was a lot for someone like me that just doesn’t know. I was hoping to find advice, useful information and or links to downloads or tutorials. So far Maro97 has been the only person to try to offer help. I was really hoping this was a community that teaches others and could bounce ideas off of each other. Again thank you Maro97 for trying to go above and beyond with offering a download link for a bios that would read the rtx 3080. Unfortunately wrong model. But thank you for being the only person to not make me feel pathetic and stupid.

The main problem is, that this community has rather few members and not everyone left is tinkering around with their laptops anymore. Like me for example.

 

Normally, i only login once a week, because there is not much interesting activity. This is not, what NoteBookReview once was. Unfortunately.

 

In addition, there are not many models on the market available, that can be used for modding. Almost none with current hardware. Which makes such a forum really difficult to maintain.

yup, this forum has barely breached 2000 users, many of whom are just ghost / lurker accounts with no real activity. that and the fact that laptops nowadays are super locked down, both from a hardware (everything soldered), as well as firmware / software perspective. many of the former NBR players have since switched to desktops and only use laptops on the side as tools, but not really for tinkering anymore (i count myself among them).
