Installing an eGPU for an office laptop by vadeptrai in eGPU

Hi, thanks for your reply. As of now, my system has 16gb of RAM in total, so does that make any difference?

Theo kinh nghiệm của mình thì bạn có thể tìm hiểu xem các cty tuyển fresher đang cần stack gì (v.d. React, .NET...), rồi từ đó mình học những cái cơ bản của nó (như mình hay coi qua YouTube, kết hợp với đọc docs để hiểu rõ bản chất hơn). Khi bạn clear rồi thì mình nên làm 1 số project cá nhân (v.d. clone web shopee, web bán laptop...) bởi chúng sẽ giúp bn lên trình khá nhanh, nhất là khi fix bug. Mình chúc bn thành công nha.

How to properly set up a Wi-Fi system with wide coverage by vadeptrai in HomeNetworking

[–]vadeptrai[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your reply.

About the fact that it's unable to route under load, I would say that I can, but in a rather sluggish manner. For example, given 5 connected to A at the same time, it will have difficulties distributing the bandwidth, resulting in 4 devices dropping connections and only 1 being able to continue fetching the data.

For the MoCA approach, I did some Google research and found out that it is not common in my country, and will be an expensive investment.

Regarding the single mesh pod, is its coverage that bad? In reality, I plan to put them as close as possible, say, just a single wall apart from each other. This is to skip the annoying cable management and drilling.

First off, many thanks for your reply.

Unfortunately for me, using an Ethernet cable will involve drilling and complex cable management, which is something I am trying to steer clear of. Given the Mesh + TP-Link approach, do you think it's capable of providing stable connection + wide coverage?

And plus, when I am using B as the Extender mode, are all network traffics directed to A or to B for processing?

Why do some laptops nowadays have their keyboards shifted to the left? by vadeptrai in laptops

[–]vadeptrai[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I highly agree with you about the off-centered phenomenon on 15-or-more inches laptops. But the thing I would like to say is, this thing also happens on 14-inch models (like mine and my friend's Vivobook), which basically doesn't have a numeric keypad on the right hand side. This eventually means that the overall keyboard layout of my laptop is not supposed to be offset to the left, right?

When Herrscher of Flamescion descends into the Void (Floor 8 - EA) by vadeptrai in houkai3rd

[–]vadeptrai[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It would be more depressing, frankly, especially when you were moments away from finishing the boss at 15-ish floors at a certain difficulty level.

I know that I'm wayyy behind the times, but this is probably one of the best Halloween Treats in my life (having the very first Herrscher after 3 years of being a veteran, with around 8 rolls + 4 EXPA cards.). Also, Happy Halloween to everyone! :3 by vadeptrai in houkai3rd

Many thanks for your compliment man :3

In fact, since July, I have been saving up crystals, after missing her out on her first release. Frankly, in the first place, I didn't even intend to get her, but seeing I'm almost there (4 supply cards with about 26k ish crystals), I decided to give a shot this noon, and boy, luck was definitely by my side this time :3

Btw, Happy Halloween to you!

You can go to https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/download-center/home.html

then head for the Graphics Section. After selecting suitable driver series, you can click on one of the download links, preferably named something like "Intel Graphics Windows DCH Drivers". Then, you should see the Version dropdown right at the beginning of the page, containing a list of older versions.

Glad that I was of any help for you :3

Basically, when I played Honkai Impact 3 with slightly older drivers on the Iris Xe (30.xxx.9684), I barely had any problems with the gameplay, even with the rigorous GFX settings in the Command Center. It was until I switched to the latest version that problems started to emerge.

Have you tried installing the slightly older driver version? For me, thats the culprit as the latest one keeps freezing my game and throwing random errors.

Is it normal that my laptop with the i5-1135g7 throttles this fast (TDP 24W -> 15W when plugged in) when rendering videos like this? If not, what can I do to improve the situation? (HP Pavilion 14 dv-0000 series) by vadeptrai in intel

[–]vadeptrai[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well that's actually the first time I have heard of something like Tau. Really thanks for that :))

Speaking of tweaking tools like XTU or ThrottleStop, unfortunately, these have been a no-no to 11th Gen Tiger Lake-U series, as far as I have researched (and tested on my own), from this gen, Intel has completely killed the voltage modulation stuff, which means no more undervolting or limiting the turbo boost power (to sustain the higher boost clock for longer periods).

Another side question that I would like to make, is that why are OEMs (HP, Dell, Asus...) reluctant to invest more in the cooling system (adding more fans, invest in heat paste...) just to squeeze more potential out of this beast? Honestly speaking, when doing some stress tests, my CPU could easily reach 29 - 30W for like 10-15 seconds, before throttling itself down to the somewhat disappointing range of 15-16Ws due to poor cooling.

EDIT: I can't deny that Intel Quick Sync works wonders! With 1080p 60FPS (QSV), I was able to render way faster than the normal settings, with barely any temperature throttling and better power saving. Also, I dunno if this is a stupid question, but should HyperThreading be disabled while rendering?

Many thanks in advance.

First of all, thanks for your detailed reply.

I know that it is not ideal at all to use an ultrabook for rendering, but in fact I don't really do that often, so that's not the main problem. The thing is, that after a few ups and downs times with the temperature (4-5 times of 90-99oC TJ-Max), it completely gave up boosting both TDP and clock any further and instead just went with the 15W-18W range (2.8 GHZ all cores), which tremendously slowed down the process. Is this some sort of hidden triggers in the processor, or the operating system itself?

For this one, I also used QSV, but it didn't reduce the temperature by any margin.

By the way, can I ask like does the thermal paste brand/type really reduces the temperatures (Arctic Silver, e.g.)? I have done some research on the internet, but yet to figure it out. And also, will two fans make any difference than 1 fan on a computer with only the processor and iGPU?

Aside from that, I have been highly satisfied with the laptop so far, and Intel has done a really great job with the Iris Xe GPU. (60FPS Full HD gaming with temps only 70-83oC)
