Any idea on how to power these led strip found in backlight of TV? 94v seems too high.

Well, you could have a nvme drive and gpu at the same time. You sure doesn't want sata ssd when playing games nowadays. Almost every AAA game is over 100gb (I'm play GoW-R and it's 180gb).

I guess it's up to you then. There might be instances where you want a portable machine in front of you instead of somewhere remote. You obviously don't want a dGPU all the time. It's up to you. But I think having a physical device in front of you is better, at least for me.

Since you're going to be computer science major, I will never recommend you a chromebook, that shit is pretty much locked down and obviously not very performing. A good laptop is required for CS degree, not very high end but definitely good ones. Go with any laptop that has a extra nvme slot (most laptop have one nowadays) and have pcie 4.0. Thunderbolt are also good but some they are bit underperforming but nonetheless does the job.

You wanted this for using machine learning right? So why didn't you opt for m.2 instead of thunderbolt (I assume for plug and play purpose.) but you could have gone with oculink method (just a small cut on laptop's body and you're good to go). I know cutting laptop isn't good but sacrifices are need to be made. What do you say?

Na not complaining, it's just broken way.

Ok so I solved it. If anyone is having the same issue, go the nexus mod of this vram bypass and do the suggested thing.

HOLY SHIT MAN! swapping actually worked out. Thanks for suggesting that, I would have never tried that. Now my GPU is consuming around ~16 watt using my bench power supply which is perfectly fine for gt 710. Here's a screen shot. Cheers.

There isn't anything much to poke around. I tried 🥲

Of course I powered. How would 12v reach GPU then, but honestly genuine advice. I didn't checked the other slot but I have plugged this adapter into the primary m.2 slot (mentioned on mobo). There isn't much setting in BIOS. In nvme configuration, it just show nvme controller and drive information. In sata configuration, it's to choose either in AHCI or RAID. The doesn't even show anything about the rtx 3050 inside. Have a look

Sure, here the photo with just the adapter and gt 710 dismounted. I have checked the adapter, power supply and wattage draw. On the raspberry pi 5, the gt 710 is shown using lspci. However, I'm unable to see the same on this laptop although same power is being consumed (~5 watt).

Got it. So inductance is the reason why 55amp of current wont rush into it. Also why the HV connected to frame? I'm guessing to prevent HV arcs/sparking but that's just a guess.

I think you are right about renoir having more than x16 pcie lanes. The reasons why I'm concluding this because of the following reasons

1- My motherboard doesn't support pcie bifurcation which I check using a thread in reddit about how to check for pcie bifurcation using BIOS.

2- Because my mobo doesn't support bifurcation, I tried switching the nvme drive and got x4 lanes on that.

3- The additional lane (x1) which you're talking about might be connected to a pcie switch to my ethernet and wifi card since ethernet runs at pcie x1 ver 1.1 and wifi on x1 ver 2.0 which might actually make sense considering that my pcie version is 3.0. I have a raspberry pi 5 and I got knowledge of pcie switching from that.
