  1. I actually really love everything else about this model. Great battery life, i upgraded the screen, got 6TB of SSD, and 64GB of ram. The power limit on the GPU is really my only gripe..
  2. wow man. that is freaking awesome. forgive my attitude. I have been trying to dump the bios of my G7 7588 but i can't find a way! My 7588's vBIOS must be integrated into the BIOS as no utilities will read it. I've flashed cards before (my GTX 970) so im aware of the process. Just sucks as I wanted to be able to play overwatch on a 65w adapter. It can just hit 65FPS on battery and a 65w adapter but I'd like a little more and so that it doesn't dip to 45 under heavy battle. lol
  3. hold up. can you show me this actually works? show us on battery and HWInfo showing the GPU wattage. It's normally limited to 15w.
  4. I heard,unofficially, on Floatplane Chat that they might have something up at 2:30PM EST time or 11:30AM PDT.
  5. I tried this back in the mPCIe days ( you know the older PCIe slots on laptops) Basically got mixed results like Linus did. Each device needs a certain amount of reserved memory to run and laptop BIOS usually only accounts for wifi cards, which need a lot smaller caches then GPUs do, so they usually require DSDT overrides to get the space and chace they need. UEFI does a better job of this since it can allocate those resources on the fly. Fun experiment though, love the outside the box videos they have been doing lately!
  6. They will also need the logic board.
  7. That makes total sense to me. I have seen this on the PC side too. My Aienware just got replaced when the keyboard space bar was flaky a couple days after I bought it lol Alienware is cheap compared to an iMac Pro. If this is true, which is sounds very likely, I'm sure they could have said it in a better way. Or maybe the manager didn't want to grant him a replacement machine due to the user causing the problem. Apple probably took a risk and waiting for spare parts since the machine is so new they could save a few bucks.
  8. You're right about the 2 repairs, I figured the screen and motherboard were the 2 major repairs. You may be able to input a serial number with the same config maybe?
  9. Wow, that's crazy. Thanks for the insight.
  10. I really think it shouldn't matter. If that's the way of thinking, insurance companies shouldn't fix your car cause you crashed it....Who's fault is that... oh right YOURS.
  11. Wow, there are amazing people in this world!
  12. pretty sure the video stated he needed a whole new motherboard too, not just the screen. And because of that, that is probably why Apple denied their repair. They also justify their prices and buying all the parts like they just break even rather than making a profit. At that point, just buy a new machine they figure. Since it wasn't a defective machine, they don't want to replace it when it wasn't Apples fault. But if the whole machine failed due to design failture , they would give you a new one for customer retention.
  13. Bonding over WAN is not what you think it is. A router capable of routing 1gpbs fully is expensive, CPU wise and hardware wise let alone 3gbps.. Bonding 3 WAN connections does not work in the same was as a lan environment. Like someone else posted, both sides need to be "aware" of the bonding in order to achieve 3gpbs. What routers are doing when they bond multiple ISPs is route certain traffic through certain IPs. So VOIP traffic go through IP #1, Https through IP 2 and so on. What you are asking is impossible without the ISP helping out lol Sorry man
  14. Normally, you'd be fine. The apps might need to be reactivated since they are on a different set of hardware.
  15. Sure, finding a way to adapt it will be one question. Then how does the BIOS see that other card? I assume the BIOS enables SLI automatically when another 650m is attached but I wonder what will happen if it see a card of a different model? I'd be all for trying it lol but another question that I can't answer.
