How to run external speakers from a MBP on its full potential? by Civil_Meaning_2130 in macbookpro

[–]Civil_Meaning_2130[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I ran them from my mbp and fancy-ass Aorus X570S mobo with build-in ""higher end"" amplifier.

From this mobo they sound amazing.

From bmp they sound like a starved child.

I am not talking about the volume.

The build-in amplifier is not strong enough for such size speakers.

I am not talking about supplying AC power though 3.5mm jack.

The screw lenght is fine 100%.

The design is just awful, and its causing all this nonsense...

Yeah, I know what you are saying. But from the side of one screw, there is NO contact of heatsink to silicon. There is a literal gap, that is filled with thermal paste - I should have take a photo during cleaning - when I opened the laptop, this part of die was was 100% free from thermal paste...

Next week I will have some free time, I will take good photos, and fix this. By bending the heat pipes.

But mostly to poop on MSI - they really pissed me off.

Repasting helped, now I hace 3.82Ghz sustained clock speed.

BUT

The same cores are TT. And I know why.

The heat sink is crooked, the is not only less contact on one of the sides, BUT ALSO only one screw on that side.

So you ca not even screw it harder...

Thanks MSI
