QNAP TVS-1282をCore i7-7700Tに換装

色々やらかしたcpu換装。結果的に「Booting the kernel.」が出た理由がBIOS書き換えが原因なのでは？ってことでcpuをCore i7-7700Tで起動してみたところ何のことなく無事に起動。

よくよく調べてみると

”QX”から始まるBIOSは第6世代(Skylake)に対応

”QZ”から始まるBIOSは第7世代(Kaby Lake)に対応

”QZ”から始まるBIOSは第6世代(Skylake)に非対応

ってことで、下位互換がないみたい。そうなるとBIOSを書き換えた直後にCore i7-7700Tに換装していれば普通に起動できていたのかもしれない。一度に色々やると原因の切り分けが難しくなるから段階的に進めてしまったことと、下位互換があるだろうと思い込みが今回の大変な作業の原因となった。

そもそもよく調べなかったのが原因なだ。大前提で換装するなって話だけど。

無事にBIOSが”QZ03AR11”となり、Core i7-7700Tを認識して稼働中。

今回のcpu換装で本来なら絶対やらないFWのリカバリを経験できたので使用開始から思い入れの強いNASとなった。

QNAP TVS-1282のCPU換装2

せっかく購入したCore i7-7700Tを何とか載せられないかとインターネッツを再度散策。そもそもCPU換装は保証対象外なので、新しいCPUを認識させるためのBIOSをメーカーもあえてアナウンスなんてしないよね。

しかしなぜかメーカーのホームページにはDLページが無いのに新しいBIOSが置いてあるらしい。

ちょっと意味わからないっす。そしてTVS-1282用の最新BIOSである”QZ03AR11”があることを確認。”QZ”！、”QZ”じゃないか！

これをうちの子に書き換えてあげれば第7世代(Kaby Lake)が使えるんじゃね？ってことで書き換え。

BIOS書き換えなんて枯れたモデルしか買ってこなかった人間からするとほぼ未経験なのと、BIOSがUEFI化された現在ではマウス操作で可能なんだよね。

で、無事に書き換え完了したっぽいのでNASを起動。しかし「Booting the kernel.」の表示が数時間経ってもそこから先に動かず起動しないのであった。

So here it is the Mi Gaming Laptop, a laptop that is very hard to get hold of a lot of stores have been asking ridiculous prices for this because it came out in limited quantity on eBay I saw a seller trying to sell one of these four can you believe it 1800 us now I didn't pay that this one I paid around about a thousand euros 1,050 it's not the highest spec that's why it's quite a bit cheaper I got it from geek buying calm now this one has the NVIDIA GTX 1060 there's also a model that has a much weaker GPU in there which has the Nvidia 1050 Ti that's not as powerful as this one mine's the i5 so the i5 7300 HQ is the CPU that's quad core it doesn't have the hyper threading that we'd see on the highest peak model so that one's got the i7 7700 HQ CPU now the SSD is 128 gigabytes which is not a lot eight gigabytes of RAM you can of course upgrade both of those components there and it has a one terabyte spindle hard drive all models have that so I'm not too happy about this I can see that they've already opened it perhaps they've gone in and installed English because this thing comes with Windows 10 in Chinese only so you're gonna either have to upgrade to Windows 10 Pro install a language pack or do a complete new fresh install alright so this box is massive it's double box but the box is about twice the size of the me notebook pros and there's some padding around it there it's a little hard to make out on camera but there box of it's quite nice you can see the fans here and the cooling the RAM slots the SSD it's like the internals a layout a diagram of everything there on the box which is a nice little touch okay so all nice packaging this is good really well packaged up just get that laptop out oh yeah that is heavy that is quite a heavy laptop so we have a little slip here this is probably gonna be the warranty card guarantee and things like that this will probably be all in Chinese and yes it is you can see right there so that's all in Chinese it's just going over the layout of the ports and everything like that and at the top here of course the power supply should I say power brick looks like it is rather large I'll weigh that in a second with the laptop so it does have that Mickey Mouse style connector and the output is nineteen point five volts at nine point two three amps and they plug on it I expected the two prong us-style one they've put in an Australian New Zealand style plug here two point seven five kilos you can't see it concurrently on the camera about that's heavy and then with the power brick wow that comes up to three point two five kilos so for thickness it's pretty much exactly twenty three millimeters so let's take a look at it okay so you can see fingerprints already on it so that's from the seller I'm not happy that they've already opened this okay so the top of it this is a alloy here feels nice but as you can see yet prone to fingerprints smudges about this little strip along the top that is very solid pressing down on that there's no real flex there just open this up take a look at that keyboard okay so very nice looking keyboard there and you can see that you haven't got a numerical keyboard on there which is a bit of a shame but I guess I can live without that so there are those four keys there so these ones are macro keys that you can customize for assigned different in-game buttons to this one at the top I think that as your fan booth so very similar to say the wind force fans from MSI laptops even lenovo's have that see just up the fan are pre rpm to cool it down really quickly super large very nice a feeling touchpad now this will be a Windows precision touchpad surely it has to be but you can see what is missing is there is no fingerprint reader up there so I guess they decided that gamers don't need to have fingerprint security so testing the flicks on that keyboard it's rather solo but it does flicks in a tiny little bit just a few millimeters and then after that it's very very firm those keys feel good nice size to them and they are shaped like the me notebook pros keys that they have a slight indentation to them so they go in a little bit and it just feels more comfortable so have a look at these hinges here they've done them slightly different but it does feel really firm so that's a positive day overall this build quality is excellent and you can see at the front here we do have the chamois logo the me logo right there but it's quite discreet because it's in black it doesn't really stand out or anything this is one thing so far they really love about this laptop there's no crazy looking logos there's no massive green or red colors on it so that bezel isn't too bad it's a matte 1080p display unfortunately no g-sync and it does have this rubber trim all around the edge here so that's another good thing a good sign to have so it's going to stop it from scratching up on the palm rest here and you can see we've got two jewelry microphones there the front-facing webcam with a status LED I just wanted to point out that the palm rest is actually made out of this hard ABS style plastic so maybe that's for temperatures so it doesn't get really hot so it stays cool why they've done this or just for wearing tear so it's gonna last a little bit longer this is a sticker of course this is just some propaganda there from Nvidia so you can remove that if you want to ah so this strip along here this is actually for our wireless AC and bluetooth reception that's why they've done this looking at the underside now so everything's screwed in place with screws there we've got this RGB lighting either side and that's to get that surround effect lighting that a lot of gamers like that sort of thing I'm not personally into that but it's so good to have that on here of course - three watt downwards firing speakers not too keen on that location down with firing normally doesn't sound that great but judging by the me notebook pros because those ones are quite good so they should be a little bit better to rubber feet here at the front they've got a nice bit of height to them this backing is plastic we've got a huge rubber foot at the top and rather high so that's going to give us a bit of height for the intake here and I really love what they've done with the back of this that's exposing you can see the two fans there for calling so one is for the GPU the other of course is for the CPU and this whole thing is basically one massive intake vent and it should make cleaning quite easy it is removable I can see we do have some screws on here I don't know if that's actually just to pull this off or the whole thing off but we'll take a look at the internals so there are a total of nine screws to undo there's one that's hidden under this little plastic tab here at the top and then we just have to literally rip out this plastic it's just clipped in place with those little clips so you use a pry tool and here we have the internals so here's the battery it's only 55 watt hours which is really small considering the kind of power that this packs in here so I don't imagine it's going to have very good battery life most gaming that tots don't so down below you can see the speakers with able to find around them to stop any vibrations which is good build quality so far is excellent it's top-notch inch hard drive but what is really interesting to note we do have a secondary nvme slot right there that that's good to see here but I don't see how this is going to fit with the hard drive in here so it looks like you have to remove the hard drive and then you can put a 22 by 80 SSD in this place now the SSD we've got in here is a PM 8 7 1b I have never seen this model before now the double data rate full Ram it's housed under this shielding here and you can see there's just allocated one lot of RAM there so you can upgrade and put an extra 8 2 gigabytes of RAM in here which is what I'm going to do and take a look at that calling it does look really really good so looking at the rear now we've got to exit vents exiting out the back and also the other exit vents are on the side of it and the ports here on the back so we've got type C this is a USB USB 3 port HDMI 2 and Gigabit LAN right-hand side another exhaust vent there USB and a SD card reader now hopefully this SD card reader is also wired up via a USB 3 hub and finally on the left-hand side exhaust vent 2 USB 3 ports when I made a headphone jack and the microphone jack as well there okay so it looks like it is in Chinese so I'm not too sure why the seller had to open the box up if it's in Chinese and they haven't installed English so first impressions of that screen it does look really good Mac coded 1080p IPS and those viewing angles they look decent I just wanted to also demonstrate this is the furthest back the screen will go so it's not amazing that angle there okay so this is where things are going to get difficult because it's all in Chinese this is their basic control center like you'll see on msi laptops the dragon control center and you can just get it a rough idea now of the GPU the cpu what's happening there the memory use that's all pretty straightforward this i don't know what that is oh this is setting up those macro key the shortcuts on the side there so you can assign five of them but of course it's all in chinese that's going to make things quite difficult I don't know what this is talking about alt f4 okay so they're just some shortcuts there and then our keyboard perhaps this is the keyboard okay now this is the side RGB lighting how to set this up so hopefully when I move the operating system over to English and this will then translate over to English but I'm not holding my breath for that to happen and the same goes for the keyboard as well so these are the controls for the four different zones that it has to set up the RGB lighting again you're gonna need to know Chinese I feel here it's got different modes it looks like you can do like a wave effect pulsing and I don't think it's going to take too long to actually learn how to adjust this is a quick demonstration of the RGB side lighting so you can just tweak the different colors I'm just cycling through now so you've got like 16 million colors I think it is it's not actually quite as bright as I thought and a quick peek at the backlit keyboard of course I've got to show you this after 13 seconds I think it is it times out you can see it turns off automatically and you can go through and adjust the different zones or you can set it all to the same exact color if you wanted to so the screen is looking excellent Mac coded I definitely think this is a better screen in the Meno Book Pro one especially when it comes to glares and things because of the anti clear coating that's on here it's gonna make it a bit better for gaming too but color reproduction and things are good I do have my spider Pro I will measure this later on not in this video in the fall of you I will give you the stats of the screen and what the color reproduction is like and the maximum brightness and everything like that but so far just with my first hands-on with it an excellent panel that Xiaomi has selected for this just a couple of here to point out with the hardware side benchmarking that SSD and it's only a set of three SSD unfortunately so if you want the faster drive in VM E which is very similar to a samsung 960 Evo that they're using it it is the PM 961 then you have to go for the more expensive model of course so this model that I have has the i-5 as I mentioned at the start the 7300 HQ so that's a quad-core and it doesn't have hyper threading so that's why it's not listed in there eight times now that Wireless is in terms wireless AC 80 to 65 this is the same chipset in the me notebook Pro this is a very good chipset but not of course as fast as the 9000 series those ones are way over a gigabit and speaking of gigabit there so we've got a real tick that's our Gigabit LAN and then the switchable graphics here so nvidia geforce gtx 1060 that's the reason to get this model and the Intel HD 630 now the easiest way to get yourself up and running in English the fastest way and it's not actually that expensive off eBay you can buy at Windows 10 Pro key for literally five US dollars or even less now they're crazy cheap all you need to do now is just to right-click the menu there at the bottom and then click on this here though so that to the thing this is why they're basically two Chinese symbols why and this will bring you into our Windows settings other windows information they need to click on this link right here you can see the key icon and this is where you add your Windows 10 key so you add that in and then you need to add your language pack which for me obviously is going to be English and then everything will be in English and you retain show me software and the recovery partition as well is still there so install Windows 10 Pro and then installed English and once you do that you need to do a reset so everything's now in English but one thing that didn't translate over at least they don't have an English option with the application is that me gaming Center so let's have a quick listen to those speakers just to preview here now we do have Dolby's at most sound tweaking software but the speakers are three watts but this time around they're not infinity Harman speakers so they do sound a little bit different to me and I've noticed that they don't seem to have the same level of base as the me notebook Pro which is a shame and they should actually be a little bit more punchy I feel button saying that the volume is really good I'll give you a sample of them right now so both have loud speakers good speakers on especially the me notebook Pro it's quite a bit slimmer that to me it actually sounds just a little bit better and side by side with a me notebook pro you can see how much slimmer that laptop is it's a fantastic laptop that one I really do love it now I've been typing on both of these keyboards and I happen to think that the minimum but pro keyboard is actually a little bit better to type on because it's got better spacing on those keys just to comment on that touchpad it's excellent Windows precision drivers the surface of it is nice and smooth and as you can see it's very large as well really nice to use and a gaming benchmark this one is rise of the Tomb Raider and you can see almost 70 frames per second on average on the very high preset so this is good this GPU can handle 1080p just fine and take a look at the RAM use with this game as well it neared at one point almost 10 gigabytes so now you understand why I decided to add eight gigabytes of RAM more so Cinebench r15 this is just finishing up so this the score 470 CB yes rather low that's because it's just the i5 7300 HQ if you want better performance get the i7 model of course so even though this is just my unboxing in hands on first impressions video will show you a couple of benchmarks so here is Geekbench 4 it's a little lower than I expected normally the score should be over 4000 in this around about 11,000 but overall not too bad I think Windows had some tasks going on in the background and that is probably why so here's the open CL school this is the GPU the Intel GPU integrated one and a 20,000 and here of course is the GTX 1060 with the six gigabytes of RAM so a few more details now on the GPU so obviously this is the more powerful model GPU wise it is it's got the GTX 1060 with the six gigabytes of RAM Samsung Ram and you can see these shaders so it's got the cuter cause 1280 of them and there's the memory bandwidth I'll boost clocks and in the background right here this is fire strike so it's the 3d mount fire strike benchmark to run this on your own PC and compare the scores so as I mentioned this button here at the top which I keep accidentally hitting and I want to hit escape as Al fan boost button so let's just check out and see how loud it really gets with this so get ready for takeoff so I will quickly show you the thermals here's the GPU so the gtx 1060 where the six gigabytes of ram has not gone over 66 degrees this is after two hours of pushing it hard and only about half an hour of that was gaming but I'll be testing this out thoroughly in my gaming review and the full review of course and let's have a look at these CPU cores so not one of them has gone over 70 degrees this is really good so that's part of the reason why it does weigh quite a bit kilos over other inch laptops because they've got little bit more copper in here but they've done their homework that cooling on this so far seems to be excellent alright so let me just quickly recap here so the Palmer is made out of plastic we've got a large touchpad really quite good to use now the keyboard it's taking me a while to get used to it I'm accidentally hitting the Escape key because of these configurable custom keys here so you can set that up like macros I think it is or assigned different set up to that whatever but the problem is it's all in Chinese so this to me of course is kind of useless I would have rather had the keyboard spaced out a little more just on my first hands on it just doesn't feel as comfortable to type on maybe it's because I'm so used to the me notebook Pro which has the individual keys spaced out a little bit more there but apart from that it really decent keyboard of course it's got the different RGB zones on here we've got those RGB strip lights down the side to that I'm not really too fast with that I don't care if it doesn't have it or not what it do like is the fact that the lid here doesn't have any logos on it whatsoever so it doesn't have a stupid dragon logo or some big flames or something like that which is great so you can actually use this I feel for business use or something a little bit more serious without attracting too much attention to it you just turn off if you can figure it out in the settings that is how to get rid of all the RGB and you turn it off and it looks then quite plain so the exit fence at the back I actually think they could actually it feels like when I put it in the fan mode this is the intake vents and the heat comes out of the side here so I'm not too fond of that because the heat coming out of the side it heats up your hand if you left or right-handed either way it's going to heat your hand up there so don't really like that also to mention the hinge very good so middle on the top and plastic on the bottom I do like the way they have done this though this is excellent so plenty of room there for cooling and cooling so far looks really really good temperatures have not actually gone over about 75 degrees so far my initial testing and when you use that cool the booster mode or aka liftoff turbo afterburner mode turn that on now so you can hear it again super loud and it's pumping out air either side really really loud just as valid as the msi gtx vo once owned that sounded like a jet engine and you about to go take off an aircraft carrier or something like that so it is looking good this screen very nice there's not really much in the area of complained about it but i can criticize show me for a couple of things that i feel this should have released this with an eighth-generation cpu so they should have had the 8750 h in here so with six cores but they probably going to revise and add that later on now the pricing of this it is very expensive so it's a risky buy really even though show meas build quality is top this is top build quality better than say MSI better than Acer and Dell some of the kind of build quality there to Adele but then you have to look at your local market something with the GT 1016 at GTX 960 and then the CPU as well the i-5 you'll find for so much less so it's you really have to take that into consideration so it's an expensive laptop it is also heavy it is kilos for a inch laptop so it's a trade-off they have made with the exterior calling pipes and here they're put in here so the thermals I think are going to be great now it will have a full gaming test review of this I'll go through a lot of titles we'll keep an eye on the thermals and the frame rate so keep an eye out for that hopefully coming out maybe within a week or so and then my full final review now if you haven't seen my reviews and my videos of the me notebook pro this one here I really like now this is about 800 us versus about a thousand us so this laptop to me is more for business people because got a fingerprint reader in here very good touchpad as well slightly better keyboard sound on this one as well from my tears I find the sound to be a little bit better but this has really good sound on this so this notebook is still one of my absolute favorites from Shami I think they really aced it with this one it is not really much I can complain about this apart from maybe the lack of Thunderbolt Thunderbolt 3 that this doesn't have so check out my reviews of that one they're up here in here and if you liked this video please give a like and subscribe to the channel for more up and coming with the me gaming laptop here bye for now
