GPU-z monitors the performance of the chip. During benchmarks, it told me that the 980m was performance capped due to power, it's not getting enough. The max TDP at the time of this performance cap was only 57% and the temperature of the GPU was only 65c. This tells me I can push this chip quite...

And yes, what I need is the 5.5 x 2.5mm plug, preferably a right angle plug, that can handle this kind of current.

Thank you for the reply. I realize it's alot, but this laptop can handle more power no problem. I've used Gelid GC-Extreme paste with Gelid GP-extreme thermal pads on all the parts that needed it and temps are cool. The GPU only goes up to 60c under load, the CPU is fine too. In GPU-z it's...

Not sure if it matters to anyone, but this is for a Clevo p150sm-a. I don't understand why they used this unusual sized socket, but it's driving me nuts. I love Clevo, but this has caused a great deal of frustration.

I thought this would be the place to ask this... I just need a 5.5mm x 2.5mm plug that's rated for 20 volts at around 10 amps. I found the x75 adapter that converts a 7.4 x 5.0mm plug to a 5.5 x 2.5mm, but it's current rating seems too low for this use. I think it says no more than 120 watts...

The 180w plug for my laptop just isn't cutting it. I'm only at 56% TDP on my 980m and I don't know if my 4810mq is getting enough power either. I have 32GB RAM, often use at least two USB 3.0 plugs as well, though I'm not sure how much that matters. I need more power than 180w. My options are...

No replies? really? Well, I'm pretty sure it's either the motherboard, or CPU at this point. Looking at all the poor, cold soldering on this MB, I'm leaning toward it being the motherboard. Maybe a capacitor is loose, or maybe the CPU soldering is cracked. If I don't get any replies I'm going to...

My PC was running great, I've had it about a year and it just wouldn't start up one day. It sounds like it's starting up, fan runs, DVD runs, HDD LED lights up for a couple seconds - then goes off, and the screen never comes on. What I've tried: - I have shine a flashlight to see if it's the...
