    Some people will swap the heatsink in the integrated GPU version with the one intended for the Nvidia version. It has a second heat pipe, so it should be a bit more efficient. The thermal pad that is supposed to connect to the GPU must be insulated to keep it from shorting out the motherboard though.

    I haven’t tried it yet. Some people say it helps, others say it doesn’t make much difference. It may be an issue of whether you get an OEM heatsink or a clone.













  • The reader may need a kernel module loaded. I have an old laptop with a built in Realtek PCIe card reader that requires the rtsx_pci_sdmmc module to be manually loaded.

    If it is a PCIe card reader, it should have shown up in lspci even without the module loaded though.

    Have you checked the BIOS settings to make sure it hasn’t been disabled there?
