    Well said. Thank you for helping build this place for us.

    By the way, I found a solution: I had to reset the BIOS settings by removing the CMOS battery. You need to ensure that the "Legacy USB Support" setting is enabled. This pertains to the connection of USB devices before and during the POST process, allowing them to be used outside of the operating system. It seems this setting was disabled on my end before the reset—that’s strange, but oh well.

    More bright minds = more interesting ideas. Thank you.

    Hello. This is the wrong thread. Your laptop is LVDS. This thread is for a product to allow eDP displays to work with the newest RTX MXM. Enduro is the Optimus of Intel. Try to get a Quadro Maxwell or a cheap Quadro P3000/P4000 and try. If it doesn't work, you could send the item back if the seller agrees. Did your laptop model came with an Nvidia MXM? I don't see why it wouldn't work but your CPU's single thread is very low.

    Posts like this make my day. I was never part of the NBR crowd myself, but when Reciever asked me to help NBR find a new home, I was happy to jump in. I’m honored you guys have kept NBT as your home all these years. Thanks for the kind words!

    I've often said, and ended posts here, with being thankful to even be in the position to have the ability to purchase and play with some of these toys and high tech items. I have a nice pile of hardware amassed. Only thing I'm on the lookout for atm is a decently priced set of the G.Skill 6000 CL26 1.40 sticks. I could use a few more NVME drives too but overall I'm good. After the shutdown and demise of NBR, @Reciever and @Hiew picking up the reins and running with it with NBT really let us carve out our corner again and just let it flow. I always like it when a long time member from yore discovers NBT and pokes their head in to say hi! And yeah, the WVPII is definitely a blessing on my 5090 which some say could rise to $10k in the new year as supply dries up. I have yet to have my cable deviate or yell at me yet (I'm running the MSI yellow cable included with the MEG 1600T), but I've got it locked down. 🙂

    hey guys, just wanted to say THANKS for all the years in this community, i know were living in our own small hardware nerd bubble here, but i also know that for most of us its a little release valve, a safe space to just drop out of the often exhausting real ilfe for a moment and be among likeminded absolutely over-the-top insane but in the end harmless and well-meaning peers. no worries, this is not a suicide note or goodbye or anything like that. just a bit of appreciation for y'all and a perspective check for me. dont be sad or angry or frustrated on what uve missed / dont have / uve lost / any pain youve went through. be thankful for what and especially who you have, cherish those little moments, stay curious, allow yourself the chance to just be wrong and learn something new, keep that basic childish wonder as long as you can. cheers guys! PS: and FFS take good care of your 5090s, now especially more than ever! WVPII FTW! 😄 PS2: lemme tag @Reciever and @Hiew to make sure our NBT stars also get this 😛

    This is a bit out of topic but, are there any options for GPU upgrade in MSI GX70 (AMD counterpart of the GT70) So far from what I've seen, it's got something called AMD Enduro which forces it to use iGPU for light tasks and then use the HD8970M for heavy tasks. No one has managed to disable iGPU through any means. The laptop uses an 17.3 inch LVDS panel and what I want to know is that if there is any possible GPU upgrade for it. (Picked it up at a local marketplace for 50$) Specs- AMD A10 5750M 8GB DDR3 1600 128GB SATA SSD HD 8970M 2GB Heard that NVIDIA graphics cards won't work in this model due to the Enduro thing. Please help.

    Interesting, I flashed my m18xR2 using Linux over 10 years ago (EDID flashing). Perahaps I will look into this to see if I can figure out how to fix the black screen issue with edid flashing on whole AW lineup

    Yes, go ahead! A perfect example.

    It's the only Coffe lake + MXM laptop that has a 2.5inch drive bay + Optical disc drive 🤪 I'll have to try an EDID mod, I will soon (1 month) get my hands on a zbook 15 g3 + T1000 MXM, since the zbook has eDP on DP_C and T1000 has it on DP_D, it will be useful to try this out.

    Oh, that’s fine. We’re human beings not programmed machines. Yeah it’s a G6. Very good guess, by the way.👍 Yes, demuxer is most suitable for example on a desktop graphics card where HDMI + DP are available. Thanks for the info.

    Grabbed an MSI GX70 off of FB Marketplace for 50 bucks. Has a bad battery and keyboard and has some white lines in the corners of the display panel. Specs-AMD A10-5750M with Radeon HD 8650G iGPU 8GB DDR3L AMD Radeon HD 8970M/R9 M290x 2GB 128GB SSD After digging up some old posts in Reddit and MSI forums, I found that the CPU cannot be upgraded any further. The RAM can be upgraded up to 2x8GB 1866, has some sort of super RAID card to run 2 MSATA SSD's in RAID configurations. Anyways, regarding the GPU I found nothing. It has an MXM-B slot and I was wondering what GPU's it can take. PS-This laptop uses some weird "AMD Enduro technology" which I think is like SG but only for AMD GPU's. Anyone knows what GPU's my laptop could take?

    I'm back again after some time. I recently ordered an A4000 through eBay. I don't believe it comes with any of the connectors, so I wanted to know if I could use the connectors that I currently have installed with my T1200? Thanks.

    Oh there is another idea...did you plug the new battery in? remove it and try again if you did.

    Pink Floyd - Learning to Fly My Dad was a rock'n'roll head...Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Kiss, Jimmy Hendrix etc....I seemed to gravitate toward Pink Floyd. Learning to fly was the very first song of theirs I ever heard and I always loved it. I never liked getting stoned, alcohol was my drug of choice but even without it I could listen to this for hours.

    Update: RTX 3000 repaired! Good news! I got my M17x R4 back from the repair shop, and the Quadro RTX 3000 is working again. If I remember correctly, the fault was caused by a bad capacitor on the GPU. The charging issue is still present, though. The charger works normally if I connect it before turning on the laptop, but if I plug it in while the laptop is already running on battery, the charger LED fades out and the adapter shuts off. I tested another known good 240W adapter before, and it behaved the same way. The repair guy believes the battery may be responsible and says the motherboard is fine. My battery health is only around 13% and it’s the original battery 14 years old, so I’m not sure whether that is related or whether there’s another issue with the charging circuit. For now, I’m happy that the RTX 3000 is back to life! I’ll test it further to see whether it remains stable under load. Thanks to everyone who helped me troubleshoot this and offered suggestions!

    F***ing ay, been playing electric guitar for xx years, parts of this is (again scaringly) from another dimension or planet. Maybe it is, planet AI :O) & no doubt, they are feeding LSD to the AI.

    I installed the i5-4210m. When I boot the laptop it beeps 4 times. 4 beeps usually means RAM, so I removed the two easily accessible sticks, while still keeping the two other sticks on the other side of mobo. But it still beeped 4 times, so not sure what's wrong. I can't be stuffed disassembly right now but I probably have to take the CMOS battery out for the bios to reset and recognise the i5-4210m. I will continue tomorrow by putting the AMD gpu back in and seeing what happens. Should bring me one step closer to determining why the laptop won't detect the NVIDIA gpu.

    Hi Eban, Thanks for replying so quickly. I really appreciate that. My BIOS is in EUFI mode. I ran msinfo32 and it's definitely UEFI. How do I check if it's peg or sg? I have the 60hz LVDS display, so I guess it's forced to sg mode? I didn't get beeps at any stage. I do have another CPU the shitty i5-4210m hahaha. So if I put that in, will it reset the CMOS? I will try that. By the way I had the AMD 8970m/m290x, not the GTX 880m.

    It’s FURY IMPACT 3200mhz ddr4 1.2v he OC’d to 3600mhz CL18 without increasing the RAM voltage How ????????????????
  29. Maro97
    What type of RAM can reach a frequency of 3600 MHz 1.2v CL18 on a DDR4 laptop motherboard?
