Area 51 r2 - swap for a new motherboard, is this possible?

Hello

does anyone know if it is possible to change the motherboard to default to a 3rd party one?

I would like to have 64 GB of ram on the Area51 R2 but on the motherboard by default, there are only 4 slots DIMM... with another motherboard, I have 64 GB (8x8Go).

Hello

I can say that the answer is that you can.  I know, since I have done :-)

I think that Dell has done a really nice job with cases.  I've owned a Dell XPS 730 x who served me reliable for many years.  I upgraded the x 730 at Ivy bridge which has kept me for a few years.  When the area 51 is out - I knew it was a worthy successor.

My goal was to have the latest and best, which included the new m2 storage card mother Dell has not supported.  Given that the cards mothers desktop Dell are usually made by MSI - I bought a new motherboard, MSI, hoping that this would be an arrangement of type 'fall' (like the x 730).  Alas, this was not the case and needed some more cable internal USB and power so that all cables is hooked.

I installed the new card mother and then deferred to my CPU and the memory of the original motherboard and installed a new drive for Samsung SM951 based m2 brilliant.  Most of the time - everything works and it SCREAM.  The only nit is that I need to replace the chassis fans as new motherboards work generally fans of the system to 50%, which makes it quite the ruckus Dell fans (CPU fan and pump works fine however).  Even cool signature Alienware lights work (I even managed to get Alienware Command Center to run) - but the side panels are not left on for some reason any (I need to jump off a door and pop on the EEG is new).

Enjoy!

  • Tecra M3 or get overheated - need to wait for the new motherboard

    My Tecra M3 (serial number X5621357G) fan started working at maximum speed in November.
    Technical support Toshiba in Greece kept for repair of 26 November 2007 to 14 December 2007.

    They changed the motherboard and the fan. After this repair, the fan started working again at maximum speed and immediately after that the computer has been 'frozen getting' (has stopped working - had to pull the power cable to restart).

    Hello

    Really, I can understand your frustration and it s always a stupid situation if any equipment malfunctioning, and if certain parts need to be replaced.

    I guess you have to wait a little bit more because the motherboard seems to be on hand and must be provided of the warehouse of head of Toshiba.
    Extra, you should consider that you sent it to EPA on December 24, 2007 and as I m not wrong most companies and service points are closed for Christmas

    Good luck and please don t lose patience. Happy new year

    Hello

    I m looking for a new motherboard for my satellite M30X 134! I was offered one with K000019680 number with the advice that this one is for all laptop M30X Toshiba. I m a bit irritated, because my thoshiba operator told me, that I need one with the number K000019210. Could someone tell me, if the K000019680 also goes very well with my laptop?

    Best regards

    Looks like you can use both of them, it is perhaps better to use K000019210. on this way, you'll be on the safe side.

  • What are the best practices for a new employee to learn inside the instance of their business of Eloqua as efficiently as possible?

    We have companies everything changed at some point in our lives. And we all go through the process in the first weeks, where you feel new and are just trying to figure out how not to get lost on your way in the mornings.

    On top of that, trying to familiarize yourself with your new company Eloqua instance can be a daunting task, especially if it's a large organization.

    What are the best practices for new employees to learn as efficiently and effectively as possible?

    I am in this situation right now. Moved to a much larger organization. It is a huge task trying to understand all the ins and outs not only society, but also of the eloqua instance, especially when she is complex with many points of integration. I find that most of the learning happens when I really go do the work. I spent a ton of time going through the programs, documentation, integrations, etc., but after awhile, it's all just words on a page and not absorbed.

    The biggest thing that I recommend is to learn how and why things are made the way they are currently, ask lots of questions, don't assume not that things work the same as they did with your previous employer.

    Download some base in place level benchmarks to demonstrate additional improvement.

    Make a list of tasks in the long term. As a new pair of eyes, make a list of things you'd like to improve.

  • Creating a backup of the WIN7 OS only for new installation; is this possible? If yes tell me how please.

    Well, then I want to get a new drive hard but with a greater capacity. Mine is 320GB and I want to upgrade to 500 GB. I have two laptops and one I would like to back up the operating system for a new installation (for the other computer hp g56-130sa laptop) for the new drive HARD must be installed.
     
    Can it be done?

    Not for another laptop.  If they were the exact same books perhaps, but even in this case this is only a possibility.

    If you need to reinstall the operating system on your laptop, you have two choices.  The first and the best choice is to contact HP directly and try to get the recovery disc specific for this laptop.  The second choice is to buy a genuine Windows 7 installation disc.

    I suggest that you contact HP because it will be the best solution (and much cheaper).  If you are in the United States / Canada, give them a call at 1-800-474-6836 and talk to a representative for the recovery disc for this laptop.  If you are outside this area, you will need to go to www.hp.com/support to find contact information.

  • Qosmio F30-140 - looking for a new motherboard or 2nd hand

    I bought two Qosmio F30-140 and a half years.

    There are months that my screen begins to blink, poor quality image and other Visual problems. Am went to Toshiba Service - they said your video GPU is not ok, you must change your motherboard, because the video controller is not separated. The price is... 980 EUROS. This is RIDICULOUS.

    However, I would ask you - where can I buy new mb or 2nd hand? Is it compatible with my QOSMIO models? Please for your help, because I'll be forced to throw this laptop voucher. Thanks in advance

    Mladen

    Hey,.

    I think the cheapest solution would be if you buy a second hand motherboard. You should take a look on eBay. Here you can often get second hand spare parts. An alternative, you can also buy a second laptop Qosmio F30 which is defective (e.g. display). You can use the motherboard of your laptop.

    But don t forget that mainboard Exchange isn't easy and you need to remove a large number of screws. It s not as easy as on the desktop.

  • Array for quantity of images - is this possible?

    In my game, I have go the end of chassis only when he ran out levels. Currently, it checks with an if statement to check to what level I am on and if it's above a certain number, I put (in this case 4), he goes to the image of the end of the game. Instead, is it possible you could get the number of images in the game and store them in a table, then check if the current level is higher than the table and I have to then go to the end section.

    I don't know why you want a table for what you describe, but if it is you need to know the number of images, it is the property of totaslFrames which can be used for this... The currentFrame property might be useful for what you are after as well.

  • Need new motherboard for Satellite Pro C50-A-1E0

    C50-A-1E0 Satellite Pro to my son is gone completely t * ts up. I think it's a common fault and requires a reset of the bios, or something. I think in any case that a new motherboard will do the trick.

    No help on the motherboard to get which is compatible and it would actually help?

    Thank you.

    Hi nessie

    It is not easy to find the new motherboard and believe me it's quite expensive, you can buy the new notebook.

    What you can do is to contact the nearest Toshiba service provider first. Explain the situation and ask if they can help you with this. They are also able to get the new motherboard for you.

    Addresses and phone numbers, you can find on http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/generic/ASP_SUPPORT/
