№1 Toxic Shitter Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 The GPU is soldered to the motherboard. You aren't going to be upgrading much more than RAM or storage on Yoga 500 I'm afraid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaw Posted December 11, 2016 Author Share Posted December 11, 2016 In that case what could i do to make it faster (More FPS) while playing games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
№1 Toxic Shitter Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 (edited) Disable Intel Speedstep in your BIOS. Download ThrottleStop(google it), tick set multiplier, set your multiplier to the desired value, untick BD prochot to prevent CPU throttling. Download MSI Afterburner, give your card a small overclock, prioritize core over memory clock. All of the above will raise your temps, if you throttle because of it, you can buy a cooling pad to keep the temps down. USB cooling pads are more portable, outlet pads require an outlet, but can have some really impressive fans at high RPM.

Solaire Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Hi, maybe you could buy an external box for desktop gpus, although it's a very expensive buy . Do you know if there are good universal egpu boxes at the moment? I heard of something limited at one brand only Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lazychris Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Laptop Gpus are soldered to the motherboard and can't be removed without recking the board. The only thing you can do is to get a better laptop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaw Posted December 29, 2016 Author Share Posted December 29, 2016 Great spent all my money on this i guess ill get a better one in about 3 years when i get the money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vassilis008 Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 The smart move it to buy a new laptop indeed if it's too old Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faldinv Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Well you should buy new laptop, with upgrade-able component Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LanceL Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 you can get Clevo laptops, but hard to tell if you can upgrade to the next gen gpu. 1050ti laptops are pretty much BGA, you can get 1060 clevo laptops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

senso Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Clevo made Alienware before it was bought by Dell, if that says something to you.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
online gravy Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 you could try looking for a motherboard that has a better gpu on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thelargechic Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Best bet is to get a used Clevo laptop, I recently spent $700 on my Clevo P570WM i7 4930k/32gbram/GTX 780m. Also a previous owner of a Clevo D900F. Probably the best all around company for being upgradeable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weztek Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 Yeah I'd also recommend a getting an used clevo, msi or alienware. Check for ones that can have their GPU's upgraded, as for CPU personally i feel that anything after 3rd gen Intel doesn't make much of a difference. I had a clevo P170EM with a Nvidia 675m and went to a 980m, but cheaper options are also possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
