HP Pavilion Wave 600-a010: Is M2 SSD Temperature normal?

Sat, 25 Feb 2023 12:22:28 -0700

After performing OS upgrade for this beauty i noticed some high Temps. Later i performed some general benchmarks to doublecheck and the SSD heat up to 77 degree. Is that normal due M2 slot location, since its near GPU and CPU? Both of it were even below 50 so im unsure why still newish SSD (original HP) runs that hot. I do use crystal disk info as tool.

Should i move over to classic Sata SSD?

HP Pavilion Wave 600-a010: Re-Use Speaker? Adapter needed

Mon, 24 Jul 2023 19:32:34 -0700

Hi,
myself disassembled some HP Wave, sadly, and I thought to re-use the speaker.
I mean, it offers some screws/mount and is pretty decent sound wise, so why not?
However, it has just some 2 pin cable/plug.
The potential candidates where it should get built in however do offer some 4 PIN speaker slot on board, where the plug even is little bigger.
Can i manually pin those into some 4pin connector? Is there even some adapter (cable)? Myself would need to extend length either way just a bit.
Sadly myself is just finding some stuff in regards to buzzers while googling, and this doesnt help.
Personally i do find it curious that this monster has just this 2 pin connector for Power AND audio....
Thanks

EDIT:
How the 2 cable/4pin adapter looks like:

How the speaker port looks like, another cable/speaker being connected.
Just from plug size its even around twice as big.

EDIT2:

HP Pavilion Wave 600-a010: Is GPU Upgrade possible?

Sat, 19 Nov 2022 07:39:20 -0700

Hi there,
normally this unit comes either with no GPU, the R9 M380 or R9 M470.
I know that last 2 are quite same and require like 45W.
However, those are from 2015/2016. As we know power usage/tdp, cooling, connection type and form factor, would there be any newer version, either by AMD or Nvidia? With similar or may more VRAM?
Would be great if there is any mobile gpu with less than 45w around from like 2020 or so which can get placed into this beauty, even its bit painful work due chassis design.
This is not about gaming, more about video editing and general compatibility.
Thanks.
