ThinkPad X1C Gen 11 - Can I add a WWAN card later?
Selle replied to eskamobob1's topic in Laptops and Pre-Built Systems
The WWAN module needs to be supported by the bios to work, you can’t just by a random one and expect it to work. You also have to spec the laptop with WWAN support when you order it, if you don’t it won’t have have the required antennas installed -
Every Chromebook I have tested has auto displayed to external monitors, and every laptop I have tested have set the external display as main display when the built in display is not connected As you got the board for free, how do you know it is working at all? You only have one USB-C port, I guess you are using a dock to both supply power and get video. The dock might not be compatible I have seen Chromebooks that will not post without a battery You are also missing a daughter board. Some Chromebooks will not post without its daughter board

As a field service technician I love the fact that my Lenovo laptop has built in cellular. I open the lid and it is online instantly. All of our technicians have laptops with cellular, but we usually buy the cellular module separately and install it ourselves. I only have one phone plan, but two SIM cards. One normal and one data only.

Does my laptop supports type c charging?
Selle replied to CocoaBallz's topic in Laptops and Pre-Built Systems
No it will not. Your laptop doesn’t support USB-C alt mode, it is not capable of outputting a display signal to any USB-C dock -
If you have any distortion in your setup the distortion will be amplified in each step. If you have a conventional setup with analog audio from the PC/sound card to a set of powered speakers the most likely point for distortion to occur is in the analog step. If you set the windows volume to 100% and the powered speakers low you will amplify the distortion less than if you do it the other way around. If your powered speakers are connected digitally it will matter less, but if there is any distortion from the amplifier itself you will notice the same behavior

Lenovo M70q gen 3 cpu upgrade
Selle replied to CrystalDawnFog's topic in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory
The 12900T is a factory option for that model, but the 135w psu is required and for all I know they might use a different motherboard and/or cooling solution when it is configured with the higher end CPUs -
Its fast DDR3 (2133MT/s) vs slow DDR4, the performance is going to be very close The Lenovo is there top end product and the better option, that said they are both getting pretty old by now

I haven’t spent a lot of time with it yet, buzzy at work and traveling in the weekends, but this is my first impressions of it It feels cheap to me, but I am used to high end laptops with a price tag to match. I don’t think it’s too bad for its price. The screen is good and the touch works great. The touch pad is not amazing, but it isn’t bad either. Same with the keyboard. CPU performance is very good. I have no tested any GPU performance, I got it for photo editing, and GPU performance doesn’t matter for me. It works great with a Lenovo USB-C docking

I have already ordered Cherry MX Black Hyperglide, Cherry MX Red Hyperglide, Cherry MX Clear Hyperglide, Gateron Milky Yellow Pro, Gateron Silent Black INK v2 and Gateron Baby Kangaroo. Ordered 5x of each, it was the minimum quantity, so I can get a good feel of what I like. Thinking of putting stiffer switches in the windows keys

It is almost exactly 10 years since I got my first mechanical keyboard, a Qpad MK-85 with Cherry MX red. Apparently the first ever keyboard offering full n-key roll over on USB (no idea if that is true or not). It has held up pretty good, but I broke one of the feet e few months back and the soft touch coating is starting to deteriorate so I decided to treat myself to a new keyboard Ended up with a Ducky One 3 Daybreak with Cherry MX Browns I see a lot of hate for the MX Browns, I am going to stay with them for now, but I absolutely hate the way the space bar feels, I have to get a linear switch for it

Insert 1 ram stick into 8 slots
Selle replied to AmateurBuildr's topic in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory
Z440 and Z420 have the same slot loading order -
Insert 1 ram stick into 8 slots
Selle replied to AmateurBuildr's topic in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory
This looks like a board from a HP Z Workstation, they usually have a big sticker on the inside of the side panel with the DIMM loading order Edit It looks like a board from a HP Z440, if that is correct this is the loading order -
All Lenovo parts have the FRU number on them, you can’t tell from these pictures if this board is original or a replacement

Case recommendations? Cooler clearance concerns.

RTX 4080 is very underwhelming in my HP Z840 Workstation
Selle replied to jessquirl's topic in Graphics Cards
Is the fps locked at 60, never like 61 or 62? Try a older game, 1080p, low settings and vsync off, if the fps still never goes above 60 then there is definitely a setting somewhere that limits the fps to 60. I would start with using DislayDriverUninstaller, DDU, then reinstall the driver -
WILL 33MM FIT ON NOCTUA NH-D15S
Selle replied to COOLmonke14's topic in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory
That will depend on how long the cooler you get has been sitting in inventory. If it was produced after the launch of LGA1700 it will have a bracket included, if not Noctua will send you one for free -
DDR4 LPX 16GB (2x 8GB) 4000Mhz CL16
Selle replied to JeffJK's topic in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory
I’m in a similar situation, I have a set of 2x8GB ADATA Spectrix D60G 4133MHz cl19-19-19. I ordered a second set, but when it arrived I found out that they have changed it, it is now cl19-23-23. I returned it and ordered a set of 2x16GB G.Skill Trident Z 3600MHz cl14-14-14. I am planning to do some quick performance comparisons when it arrives, hopefully before next weekend I’m not too familiar with the newer AMD stuff, but getting DDR4 to run at 4000MHz with 4 sticks is not going to be easy and might not be possible at all -
WILL 33MM FIT ON NOCTUA NH-D15S
Selle replied to COOLmonke14's topic in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory
If you have taler ram you have to move the fan up a little bit. The ND-D15 in my picture has the outer fan moved high enough to fit ADATA Spectrix D60G ram that is 46mm tall, and it fits in a case with 170mm CPU cooler clearance no problem -
The adapters are perfectly safe as long as you plug it in all the way and don’t bend it too hard I have a 4070ti Suprim X, very happy with it, temps are good and it is extremely quiet, but it is BIG, make sure your case has enough room for the card you choose
