Upgraded the cooling today. (Noctua fans replacing them soon)

Still waiting on Nvidia to release a new card (thats not a titan) to buy.

PCB is black, you can only notice the brown lines when you take a picture w/ flash on.

Looks new, broadwell cpu.

Looks new, broadwell cpu.

Probably the new laptop he bought. Should have waited though because skylake just came out which gave a huge performance jump for laptops.

[Labogani]

@Sykotik

Nothing special, bare bones stock, slightly dated Model of Laptop. I personally would consider it is quite a decent rig considering I have never been a fan of Toshiba’s or Gateway’s at all. I am planning on doubling the Ram to see if I can get it to run a bit smoother.

I am sure it is locked at 8, or I would double down and run it on 16Gb Ram…still might if I can find anything on “UNLOCKING RAM LIMITS”

I wouldn’t get 16gb, get 8gb. Unless you’re doing rendering or stuff that will require 16gb.

[Chris]

@Sykotik

Yeah I was thinking 16Gb was overkill after I put that out there…
On that subject Labogini, Any ideas where else I could beef things up a bit, without a bunch of soldering or replacing it all together?
On a GTA V-PC compatibility test the only thing I seem to be flagged for is RAM/CPU speed

16gb really isn’t overkill. I actually would never go with anything less as I can easily hit 7gb while playing games like H1Z1. You are basically out of luck on upgrading anything besides your HDD. I would really consider buying a SSD.

BTW those test are stupid and you really can’t judge anything off of them. They just pull the minimum specs the developers suggest and compare it to what you have. More than likely you can still run it without everything passing.

Yeah, I’m on a Haswell laptop and I’m regretting not waiting for skylake.

@Sykotik

Not sure what “tests” you are referring to but the infor was pulled from “system info”
BTW I was chatting with some techies and apparently My Corei7 is massively underclocked? Having that said it being a Quad type with 8 virtual cores total, supposedly I can take the 1.73Ghz, to a full 2.0 maybe be able to overclock it out to 2.3 before it become unstable.

I am not sure exactly but I am looking into overclocking both the underpowered Nvidia Graphics chipset and i7-740QM both as we speak

[EDIT:] So I am not seeing a way to overclock My Core i7 Q740, but I was able to bump the Nvidia
output Power and ability sufficiently.
It may be just as well I don’t overclock the CPU it is a Toshiba Qosmio X505-887 Laptop, and I really don’t want to cook it.
I would need to pick up some thermal paste and redo it all (we all know M$ is sparing with it and don’t break out the highest quality goop)

On and upside to having a blown RAM board when I got it, it had the Hdd upgraded by 200GB

Out of curiosity would I want to take my Bios out of Legacy mode for a CPU overclock or No?

Honestly I would not overclock a laptop as that’s just gonna cause problems in the future. It may work at first but you’re gonna have lots of heat problems. Putting new thermal paste on the processor won’t do much considering you can’t put an aftermarket cooler on it. Best bet is to build a desktop.

Did you go from 970 > 980ti and was it worth it? I’m thinking about getting a 980ti and selling my 970 but it’s like a grand to buy a 980ti here…
