Hi! This may be a stupid question, but I hope you can point me in the right direction. I have a ThinkPad T15 laptop with a 10th gen i7 in it. It's great, compact, fast, I love it. It has no discrete graphics, however. I've been thinking of buying a thunderbolt EGPU case, and some low-power (for example GTX 1650) GPU, but I was shocked to find out, how much EGPU cases cost. More than a GPU, even in today's world! I really only need NVENC, or some other hardvare accelerated video encode/decode and processing power. I'm not planning on gaming (and certainly not AAA recent titles), but occasionally I need to edit video, or make a livestream of an event. This CPU alone can't handle that, as OBS uses 30-40% just for encode/decode. Does a device like this exist? Or can you recommend some extremely simple EGPU case/cable/anything, that doesn't cost a furtune?

Last desperate bump Sorry. If it's a problem, delete this thread, admins. Not gonna lose anything useful...

bump...

Sorry, I wasn't online for some time here. Unfortunately I have to keep it for the whole 2-year contract, but then I will have the second cable already installed, not sure if I can keep the speed without keeping the TV after 2 years. Will be long before than anyways.

Hello! I have an obscure router called ZTE H368N supplied to me by the hungarian Telekom. It has VDSL bonding and so 100/30 speeds, which is all very good, but I have a few very annoying problems. One thing is, that my Chromecast Audio says (or rather the Google Home app says) that it succesfully connected to my WiFi, but the phone can't connect to it. Then on the Help page it says that I need to turn AP Isolation off, and UPnP on. I've turned on UPnP, which wasn't on by default, but as far as I can see, there is no AP Isolation function on this router. Could it be that it can't be turned off? Shouldn't this be an _extra_ feature? The other thing, that might be related: I have a home server, which has a dynamic DNS (by No-IP) attached to it. When accessing it from anywhere else but my home network, it works fine (you can try it too: foxyn.ddns.net:8123) but when trying to open the same link at home, it doesn't do anything. Not even a rejected reply, nothing. What's even better? When I access 192.168.1.4:8123, the internal IP, somehow it works! :D I hope this is a common thing and I just need to tick or untick something in the admin panel of the router. Please reply and let me know, what do you need in order to help me with this, I know this isn't enough information. If you need it, I can even send a screenshot of every config page but I'd rather not do that unless necessary. For starters, I attached a user guide to this model. Unfortunaltely, no English one exists, just Dutch and Hungarian, because these are only used by two carriers in those countries. If you think I could get better help on another forum, please tell me as well. Thank you so much in advance! I can't seem to be able to solve this on my own, very little information exists. manual-2046.pdf zte-h368n-user-guide.pdf

It was worth it tho! Doubled our previous speed, despite being in an "unimportant" part of Hungary.

Hi! I have a ThinkPad T540P with an English, non-backlit keyboard. I'm Hungarian, so I plan to replace it with a Hungarian board. Which is all fine, except I would quite like it to be backlit now, and I could buy a board with backlight. However, I heard that not all T540Ps are equipped to support a board with lights. How can I find out if mine has it or not? What should I look for? Do I have to take it apart to look for a ribbon, or can I just like know it from the serial number? Thanks for any help! (If this is not the right topic, sorry, feel free to move it :) )

Cool idea, but what do you expect after writing this? Not to be rude, but they probably already have a plan and won't just do as a random post on the forums says. If they even see it.

Yes, I would've guessed that, but I'm stuck with this for now, and if the time comes to buy the Z97 board, it will be the one I can find used and in good condition. Thank you both for the quick help anyway!

Found it. I have an Asrock h97 performance, not buying another H97 MB, that's not interchangeable.

That's great to hear. Sorry, what are Maximus and Prime? Are these motherboard types or chipset codenames? I haven't heard of them yet...

Wait. On an H97? On a Z, sure.

I see. Thank you!

Hello! I currently have an Asrock H97 Performance, and an i5 4690. I would like to upgrade to an i7 4790K (used of course). (I know that Z97 is the chipset for overclocking, but the base speed and the automatic / factory turbo speed is also much better for the K CPU. I will eventually upgrade to a Z97 board, but not right now.) I'm just interested, can the CPU reach the factory turbo of 4,4 Ghz on a H97 chipset? Or even the base 4 Ghz?

Thanks a lot for the answers! As I said, the Windows boots normally if I remove the old 2TB. So I think it only points to \Boot\BCD because there are the files that handle the communications. I didn't install Windows now, I just copied it. With just the live-pendrive, the old system drive and the SSD connected. This motherboard doesn't support hot-swap SATA, and the original USB controller of the drive is not working anymore. Yes, a live Linux would be good, but I tried booting not just the Windows, and nothing boots if the drive is connected (EaseUS rescue disk, Ubuntu, etc.). So what I'm going to do, is plug the drive into my main PC (which has hot-swap SATA support) after it has booted up, and see if it responds. If not, data recovery service. Thanks again!
