Just Bought a W530!

#1 Post by KDM Mods » Sat Jun 30, 2018 6:45 pm

Just got it today! Got it on ebay for $399. It came with a dock, 2 power supplys, and a ssd/hhd caddy. W530 specs are I7 3740qm, 16gb ram, Quadro k2000m, and a 2tb hard drive. Upgrades id like to do are get two more sticks of ram to max it out at 32gb. Get a i7 3940xm and a 860 evo msata ssd. Only problem is, the cpu is so expensive in my opinion. Not sure how much money i should put into a 6 year old laptop. If anyone has one they are selling for a good deal let me know.

I just overclocked the quadro! Lol. I maxed the core clock and uped the memory clock +135. Here’s a picture

I believe max temp is around 80c? So I’m safe. I’m not going any higher. Making me nervous. I need to liquid metal this thing to get it a bit cooler.
