What’s the ram and cpu?

#

Oh it’s an apu

lime vortex
#

Yeah, basically a defective PS5 APU

dusty arrow
#

Defective? Seems to be working fine

lime vortex
#

It is cut down significantly.
6 cores vs 8
24 CUs vs 36

dusty arrow
#

Oh I see

lime vortex
#

There are no Windows drivers for the GPU, at all

#

It performs decently, runs super quiet and is in general surprisingly capable

dusty arrow
#

I use it on my legion go which has similar specs

#

Can’t play anything without it

lime vortex
#

Not yet.
Wait, you also have a Legion Go?

dusty arrow
#

Yes

#

Legion go s

#

With the z2 go

lime vortex
#

Mine is the original

dusty arrow
#

Nice

#

I went for the cheap one

#

Still better than a steam deck

lime vortex
#

I actually had a Steam Deck, though I accidentally broke it during a case swap.
Something has shorted, so if I plug in the stick, the FFCs get so hot it starts glowing

#

The motherboard still works tho

#

And I have plans for it.

dusty arrow
#

What are the FFC’s made of to start glowing tech_jesus

#

Oh the ribbon cables

lime vortex
#

They got so hot, that the copper inside started to glow

#

Btw, the plan for the motherboard is building a bootleg Mac mini for my soldering station

#

It'll also handle UART and JTAG stuff for debugging the janky shit

dusty arrow
#

Nice

lime vortex
#

Improved the cooling considerably

lime vortex
dusty arrow
lime vortex
#

Build update, it now has fully functional fan control

lime vortex
dusty arrow
#

Looks more reliable

lime vortex
#

Oh it absolutely is.

#

It doesn't run much cooler, but now it can at least boost to it's full speed
