As far as I know it's an android handheld with qualcom arm chips
I think OP is talking about the older edge handhelds, which used Intel Core 3rd Gen CPUs.
Considering that, I still think it's not a good idea for windows 11. Also looking at pre-10th gen graphics cards, so it's limited to older mobile versions instead of full-fledged GPUs

My older laptop had a "DDR3L" slot. I think that means LPDDR3 RAM it was?
DDR3L specifically was "low voltage" and it was a stepping stone between DDR3 and the newer, more efficient DDR4. DDR3 and DDR3L aren't interchangeable because the lower voltage means it operated a bit differently.
Likewise LP stands for "low power" and as mentioned before, it only comes in the soldered variety, unfortunately you can't get LPDDR4 in SODIMM format

Mileage may vary, I was only able to extend my turbo duration and slightly increase the turbo power limit. Although I miss the older days when on 7th Gen and older, you could directly control wattage and reduce the voltage, even if the CPU could not be overclocked directly. Had a crappy Acer laptop that became a lot less painful to game on that way.

RAM - Got 1x8 DDR4@2666 Mt/s. So I should be able to upgrade to 16 or even 32 but not that it would make sense for a machine this tier. But what I am curious about is, that my CPU's spec list show that it supports DDR4 2666 and also LPDDR4 2933. Can I put the LPDDR4 modules in my presumably DDR4 slots? 16 gigs of dual channel LPDDR4 at 2933 would honestly solve a lot of my depression. But I will slightly be upset if I can only use the 2666 ones. This way the total memory bandwidth will be 46 GB/s, which honestly is very decent for me.
The bandwidth difference may not be too large, the jump to dual channel will already be quite significant. You should check if this model of laptop was ever sold in a variant that included higher speed memory straight from the manufacturer, then you can at least know for sure if it's officially supported on this product.

A new monitor should be no issue, the HDMI that you've got will definitely support any modest 1080p display which would certainly be a big improvement.
37 minutes ago, Gat Pelsinger said:Cooling - Of course, all that power is literally useless if it thermal throttles. I could apply liquid metal (nahh) or a nice high quality thermal paste. But there is more to it. I found out that there is only 1 heat pipe. How hard is to solder like 2 more pipes? Upon that, can I replace the single fan I have with a more powerful fan?
Cooling is a lot more complicated when it comes to laptops. Adding additional heat pipes may not really be feasible.
On the other hand, you should consider a laptop holder with built in fans, kind of like this one. You can easily increase the airflow this way instead, which won't require modification to the laptop itself.

Having a Comet lake system today is very decent, but not when it is locked down to 15 watts. That is the PL1 and PL2 is 30. Even that 30 watts is not enough to run 4 cores at full 4GHz turbo, not mentioning the I-GPU takes 15-20 watts extra. But honestly, if I could get that 30 watts all the time, I would be living life
I have a fairly locked down laptop myself, but I was able to use Intel XTU to squeeze just a tiny bit of extra turbo out of my CPU. You should download it as well and see which options aren't greyed out

its a "good", "Better", "Best" chart while also not trashing on the intel inside chips for not being capable of modern gaming the same way you don't trash on an all season tire not being capable of racing well.
Kind of, but I think there's a much better way to convey this information. For example, nvidia has AI-centric products like the A100, and production-centric products like the A40. However, they don't compare their own products to others like the RTX 3090 with an ostensibly "% better/worse" chart, because this chart implies that these products aren't necessary purpose-built

Also if I make this upgrade would I need to upgrade the power supply aswell?
Your power supply is pretty suitable for your intended upgrade, no worries there.
49 minutes ago, Siamshot said:best bang for the buck upgrade would be to go up to a R 5 5600x
I would recommend the 5600 non-X because you still get the benefit of a large L3 cache and it's usually even cheaper.
49 minutes ago, Siamshot said:And lastly should I be looking through FB market place? Or is it better and more trustable brand-new because I don't know what I'm doing and I've never bought off FB before
If you're unfamiliar with the used market, there are a few things to look out for. Best practice is to meet somewhere public, if you can get a spot with a power outlet to bring your PC and test the graphics card yourself, that's the best case scenario.

Intel providing their own numbers should be as suspicious as any company providing their own numbers. You won't find any real use for this "data" and if you want some relevant info, look up a tech reviewer putting the product through its paces in the workload that's relevant to you.

guy at microcenter said it's probably not a bad pump if it's new
Sometimes these components are dead on arrival, not your fault and returning it and getting a new one might be a good option

The case comes with no fan. And at a time I am newbie for pc tech. I didn't know about the pc case fan and last three years I never check my pc, gpu, cpu temperature
Well, you could check them now and see if they're good. Although since your system is not broken, you might not have a problem.
Fans are important, but some components don't create a lot of heat, and it might not be absolutely necessary. Your i3-9100F is not going to need a lot of airflow to survive, and even if it's a little warm, you might only need one fan to make a difference. Also the Gtx 1650 that you have might be creating enough of an updraft to keep just enough air moving.

No, cuz Windows Also boots fine without any secondary HDD
I originally installed Windows without any secondary HDD
In your BIOS, enable sata hot plug (might be hard to find, you could refer to your manual or maybe a YouTube tutorial for your specific motherboard)
Then boot to windows with no secondary HDD, after it's booted plug in the SATA cable for the 1TB drive and see what happens

so i guess that one port supports 1920 by 1080 but the other one does not??
if this is the case, I would suspect that there's actually a problem with that HDMI port, if every monitor plugged into it has the same issue

It has worked for over 1.5 years with my main pc at 1080p perfectly and this never happened. Is there any way i can fix it?
I would guess that the monitor itself needs to be reconfigured. What buttons are on the monitor?

So basically, the b450 doesnt come with latest bios version preinstalled, and i gotta update the bios myself?
The version that is installed really depends on when the motherboard was manufactured. The manufacturer usually puts on whatever the latest non-Beta version is available.
If you want to be absolutely certain that any B450 motherboard will work with any AM4 CPU, a motherboard with BIOS flashback would be the ticket. The Asus Prime B450M-A II comes to mind as a cheaper option, with the ability to flash the BIOS no need for CPU ram or graphics card

why, exactly? unless OP needs the bandwidth, there's no reason to need both x16 slot to get x8 lanes from the CPU
Given that the rig is for video editing, I think PCIe bandwidth is going to make a bit more of a difference.

Anyways, some guy recommended a ryzen 5 5600 since he knows am4 is dead, but will it work with my b450m ds3h?
People use the word "dead" too much. You can get the 5600 if it's in your budget, it's definitely an improvement over the 3600, but both are a big jump from what you currently have. It should work but I would say you have a very low chance of getting a B450 motherboard that has the correct bios out of the box. If you have a CPU that a friend can let you borrow to update the BIOS it's a good pick, otherwise I wouldn't bother with 5000 series Ryzen until you choose to upgrade again in the future. Maybe a Ryzen 7 5800X3D instead.
Edit: the box of the motherboard itself will tell you what it's compatible with, i.e. "Ryzen 3000 series ready" in an orange sticker. But if you are ordering online and want guaranteed compatibility, the gigabyte V2 motherboards are new enough to have the right BIOS versions, the MSI max series are the same, as well as the Asus Mk. II boards

In the safe mode i can see the driver of the integrated graphics but it's not in the bios
Well, the BIOS won't show any drivers or Integrated video information. The drivers in Windows are what make the difference here.
Do you have a graphics card on hand that can be put in the system for testing?

Can you share a screenshot of device manager, to see if the integrated graphics are shown there?

more cores to never have problems with bottlenecking probably again?
A ryzen 5 3600 would be faster than a 1700

still doesn't have VRM heat sink so I would recommend putting a Ryzen 7 in this board

Windowed fullscreen and Fullscreen both lag
windowed fullscreen is functionally the same as windowed mode. I can't imagine how it would have different behavior with that, leading me to think it's the actual size or the position of the window that's the issue.
Does the problem persist in fullscreen at any different resolution?
i got an 8700k CPU from like pre pandemic which RTX card would be a good match for it without bottlenecking it?

I don't trust auto-overclock features, they tend to go a bit heavy on the core voltage. If you enable the auto OC of whatever variety you've got, I also recommend manually dropping the vcore a little. You should be able to get a decent overclock on that CPU under 1.4 volts.
I've got my own rig and the wattage listed below. Even with a titan and a coffee lake i7, I am still not making full use of the 650 watt PSU that I've got. You can reasonably pair an 8700k with any graphics card close to 250 watts.
