Hello

[cathoderayfish]

Hello, I picked up an old p775dm3 to be my daily-driver mobile workstation a while back. I have been doing some upgrades, maintenance, and mods and got to the point where I need to ask some questions about vbios power limits and things, seemed like this place is where discussions of that sort occur, so I made an account. Looking forward to being here and continuing my upgrade adventures.

Are you referring to the whole forum or just the discussion of Clevo modding and stuff? I know Clevo has stopped making the crazy dtr type laptops:(

Unfortunately I am referring to both 

 

The forum is not what it once was, modding cutting edge laptops is a dying hobby. As you are aware newer laptops are not so modular with upgradeable components. Although some of us are into retro 

 

No true DTR for some time now

That's sad, I would have thought people would still be interested in bios mods and stuff even for the newer less-upgradable laptops

 

I still find the p775dm3 to be pretty usable for modern stuff Mine now has a 9th gen CPU and 20 series GPU, sounds like it could be brought up so far as 40 series at least

 

Perhaps Framework and the open standard for their PCIe bay will bring back some kind of modding. Would be cool if Framework went about making a DTR
