I ran evga precision on a couple laptop gpu's... didn't get much out of them. it may be possible to tweak with eleet, but I haven't tried..... bet it's fun though!
Gotcha... that was a thought but wasn't sure how it would work.

I would recommend if doing so and you are comfortable with it. completely dismantling the laptop though set it up on a desk and put some better cooling on the CPU and/or GPU so you can really take out the competition
Yeah, I might look into the software to do it.... Dismantle for better cooling for sure!


I was just thinking.... I have all this older HW and a couple of laptops lying around and thought it might be fun and good learning trying to do something with them. And maybe pick up a few bonus points while i'm at it. The day is finally drawing near yhat I should have some time to get back to thrashing hardware... And i'm trying to get really pumped and excited about it again.
