I had similar “unexplainable “ experience with a relatively old Dell (4th gen -4800mq) , I couldn’t figure out the weird behavior, in my case the cpu was running at base clock by default, and would only boost to the max frequency after a “sleep , wake “ cycle , everytime I used that laptop I...

It would be better if suggestions were discussed in a different “new” thread , it archives better in a way . also your last explanation-from my experience indicates faulty vrams -especially on 10xx cards- , but it’s very hard to diagnose broad issues without any access to actual hardware...

Are there any markings on the package?

Depends on the symptoms

To save u some time , it’s the last one , aka config file .

Looks fine , just bad angles

Most likely: high side mosfets. How are you working on this board ? Any schematics or pictures to share . A The tip ? If you mean chip plz mention which chip isit . History of the motherboard helps a lot .

Exactly, my point is make sure what u fixed actually changes smth .

Only useful if he’s 100% sure the traces are connected to the die , either way that’s probably his best bet unless he somehow gets Lucky.

U probably know what ur doing , since it’s working u know the die itself (specifically mem controller is fine) my guess is the remaining pcie lanes aren’t detected by the mobo , fix up those corroded connections and check’m in continuity mode , better yet is post Homs reading after U replace...

You definitely know what’s up , I was about to comment how my laptop (same model , had it’s gpu fail and I had to bypass it ) . Build quality is meh at best , but hey if he enjoyes it , let it be . :) Nice one , I always enjoy seeing old hardware being somewhat useful 10+ years later , but u...

The variations is literally the best you can get under 1k , z1r would be next logical step but so damn rare and expensive, for me the list of iems from cheap to expensive: CHU—> er2se(but I hate the fit)—> 7hz timeless—> Variations—> z1r , I have not tried every single iem in between the price...

Well needed refresh , the 20$ CHU made this purchase unreasonable before, I hope the frequency response is better.

looking for clear pics from this highlight area. Working on this pcb with dead ram chips to be replaced but I need to fix this mess first.
