    Hello. Tested a Xeon E5-1660 v2 (just a 4960X with 100MHz more base clock). Same issue... Voltage stuck at 1.231V on this one. All 3 CPUs I tested, have the same issue. I do use a 660W PSU combination so power and current aren't limiting me. At 4.1GHz I crash on timespy CPU test at 00:08 and 00:10. Any help please? I just want to get higher clocks to remove the little bottleneck. Can you help @Mr. Foxplease

    x870e Hero shipped off for RMA finally to get a model with a non defective LCD ROG display... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A bit disingenuous in comparison, but Nova looks to potentially be a monster gaming chip with up to 33% gains over Arrow Lake and works at 8000 right out of the box but comparing it to a 285k capped at 250w and 6400 memory vs a 270k running 8000+ knocks a little of the glow off this comparison.... https://videocardz.com/newz/intel-nova-lake-s-28c-with-ddr5-8000-projected-to-deliver-16-to-33-higher-gaming-performance-than-core-ultra-9-285k-with-ddr5-6400 Can't wait to see @Talon's Day 1 impressions! 🤣 Did you hold onto any of your 5090s? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5080 pricing is getting slap happy as supply dries up as Nvidia is rumored to be gearing up the 5080 24GB (in theory)..... GB SFF 5080, which was a $999 MSRP model (and myself and @Mr. Fox snagged at great pricing) is now $1979.99 "on sale" at Microcenter rapidly going out of stock and not available elsewhere. Normal price is $2379.99. Cheapest 5080 overall actually available is the PNY 5080 is $2199.99 (IE PCPP, click through on available model and it is actually available) from BH.... Nvidia delists the 5080 from their own marketplace (following the previous 5090 delisting) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The bubble is real.....the seams are bursting.... When this adjusts down, it is going to be brutal.... Jensen's current model is unsustainable and instead of balancing and feeding both spectrums properly, he has pushed for maximum output, FOMO and channel stuffing to where companies are sitting on billions of dollars of unrealized hardware deployment, circular financing and this WILL pop..... Is AI here to stay? Absolutely and I am a proponent of it but this sell through model does not have long term viability.

    Can't afford the 4070 or any right now SuperMG, and as I said I need 16GB vram when I can (it's not all about processing power - multiple video FX I use need that ram - that's why the P5200 works if a little slowly right now) so it's a no go anyway. Thanks. Paypal via PM for the cable?
  5. SuperMG
    On ebay or PayPal as family to avoid fees. Can do 469€ for the 4070

    Sadly I can't spare that right now, I finally realised - just repaired a blown Lenovo laptop and only yesterday after getting it working I ended ordering more parts; only thing original now on this Trigger's Broom is literally the outer shell - and when I can again I really want to hold out for 16GB, for my needs - but what's the best way to get hold of your cable? Paypal again? Appreciate your quick responses and all the info SuperMG.

    Hi mattalienware, Here's a video I found on Youtube that takes you through the steps of modding the Dell Alienware NVidia drivers and set up a non Dell GTX980 GPU in an Alienware 17. I need to do this as well to add an MSI gtx980m to my Alienware 17R1 that has a broken GTX780m. Let me know how you went. Regards, Speakeasy

    Shouldn't they push more of the production back to the US to avoid the tarrifs? Does this mean we will see even higher prices years forwards for US consumers ? It seems so. Because this ain't normal. HP and Asus are moving PC production back to China as soaring component costs force a rethink Dell is also weighing a return According to Nikkei Asia, American PC giant HP and Taiwanese consumer electronics firm Asus have already moved some of their manufacturing operations back to China. Another leading PC OEM, Dell, is also said to be evaluating whether to follow suit and shift some of its PC production back to the Asian nation to offset rising component costs. Quite disturbing... Even 5060 class cards ain't holy..

    Welcome. Your board is the same N960Kx platform discussed here, and BIOS 1.07.09 already ships Clevo's own switches — no IFR patching needed. FPTW64 -bios -d bios.bin (dumps just the 16 MB BIOS region). Open it in H2OUVE → Setup → set Advanced Chipset Control and Setup Menu Insyde Full Show to Show → export → import → save as .fd. FPTW64 -bios -f mod.fd, then FPTW64 -greset, boot into setup and press F9. Afterwards: Memory profile = XMP profile 1, with Realtime Memory Timing and Realtime Memory OverClock set to Enabled. For the power limits: Platform PL1/PL2 Enable = Enabled, PL1/PL2 Power in mW (e.g. 125000 / 150000), plus a suitable Time Window. Two things worth knowing: your 2667 is just the JEDEC fallback of a 3200 XMP kit, not a hard lock — but memory OC needs H570/B560; HM470 can't do it, so check your PCH. And the i9-10900 is non-K, so ratio OC is off the table.

    Yes you can drill and put the slider in a spot you can use. I can do 479€ for the whole
  16. Mercer
    Ok thanks, let me have a think about it. I might definitely buy just your cable mod for reserve though. The backlight control, can that be mounted in a drilled hole? I'm thinking of running it out the dummy ODD front, with a spare I've got.
  17. SuperMG
    The 4080/4090/5080 vBIOSes have the eDP on B and this makes the Nvidia drivers go nuts (since the laptop's display is at D)... The PDF instructions show a workaround on how to get them to work by using the GPU's D port. I can do 489€ with Paypal as friends so no marketplace fees. For the shipping you can pay later as I don't know how much I'll pay for UK shipping at the end. The card has a warranty till May of 2027. I can include the digital invoice of it later.
  18. Mercer
    Yes, they all will be a significant upgrade I think: that A5500 has over 3 x the Cuda cores, than my P5200, for example. Are there modded bios's for all the cards you list? I read some X-Vision ones as problematic. As I said I want 16GB vram but what are you charging for that modded 4070, if I may ask? Thanks again.
  19. SuperMG
    There's a PSU mod but you need someone to do it. You also need better thermal room after. So definitely stick with 115W. The fastest 115W RTX is the RTX 4070 MXM. There's the 4090 MXM 115W too, I have its vBIOS (to go from 150W to 115W). You can do that: - Buy the A5000/A5500/3080/4090 from X-VSION/ZRT - Buy my 4070 MXM with backlight mod, can ship now Try which one has better RT and CUDAs performance and sell the one you don't want. That's what I did with the 3080 and 4080. I kept the 4080.
  20. Mercer
    Yes I don't think you can get any other higher PSU to work with these workstation laptops. I'll stick to looking at the 115w cards then. Understood.
  21. SuperMG
    As said you need a new heatsink and you need a better PSU mod. 300W Omen ones won't work out of the box.
  22. Mercer
    Kind of partly answered my own question I guess, re-heatshield and what you said: I see the difference in layout of chip, memory and VRMs.
  23. Mercer
    Thanks, really appreciated. Is that because of the edge to edge VRMs? Looking at the cards and comparing to the P5200 I would have assumed my existing heatsink is OK? I'm aware the G6 Turing cards are a different wider form with staggered screw mount holes but I thought maybe these more standard 3.0B MXMs would be OK? I even thought of scouting for a G6 MB, as it's the same case as the G6 but those HP MXMs were only around in that laptop as far as I am aware, and Turing is only a little better in performance. Yes I'd prefer 115w - I'm almost permanently on a 280w G4 TB dock, but it still only supplies 230w to the actual laptop. That's tempting but I want this for Davinci Resolve Studio that recommends a minimum of 16GB vram for advanced AI tools - the P5200 is fine just a little slow with those things. Did that RTX 4090 work with the standard heatshield? And is discrete not possible with any of these cards? Not necessarily a deal breaker but I'd have to re-think a little, if the case. Definitely want the laptop screen to work too, whatever, since I use 2 screens + an Ultrastudio driven video monitor and no desk space for 2 external pc screens - the 2nd monitor HDMI out. I really like this laptop and it still kicks OK, but maybe I should be looking at 2nd hand G8-10s, but times are hard for everyone right now. Thanks for all your info, I've been reading your posts carefully, since you obviously really know your stuff.

    I just wanted to keep the group together, I enjoy the chats and even sometimes (though I'll never admit it) the arguments that take place. Sometimes they get heated and require a timeout to let people cool off but otherwise I despise the heavy handedness / on the nose bias some other forums or reddit have in terms of moderation. Also have to thank @Aaron44126 for leading the charge on archiving the posts from NBR. It may come time to have that information internet facing into the Forum. I am a heavy proponent of "The more authority you exert, the less you have" and I try to keep that in the back pocket for moderating here also and in leading my teams at work. You are henceforth BANNED FOR LIFE. No good deed and all that lol Honestly ALL infrastructure, planning, software deployment was all built by @Hiew. I may handle how we moderate and deal with escalations but without Hiew this forum would not exist. He's FINALLY starting to get motivated to build donations and/or subs to assist with forum expenses also so we just have to figure out a good time for both of us to pull away from work. Im hoping we get something locked in this year maybe around the holidays. In other news, a friend of a friend got a miship from Amazon for some 9070 XT's, I bought 3 for 575/each and sold one to a colleague. Also ordered another 64GB of sRAM and 512GB of Persistent Memory for my server totalling 1.1TB of useable RAM. Going to try my hand at some larger local models with the 2-3 9070 XT's Same colleague is trading his R5 3600 + 6700 XT for my 5800X3D that I no longer use so that makes it 3x 9070 XT's for the local AI server. I hate what AI has done to my hobby but I still want to get a working understanding of how to use it. Adapt or Die and all that

    I can understand it. This is what they are doing to all of us. Financial rape. Simple as that. They should watch out though. You know what they say about pay-back. (It starts with a "b" and ends with "itch" if you were not sure.) Companies that lie together die together. First EVGA. Now Galax. Wonder who comes next? Who will be left and who dumb enough to sell NVIDIA chips after the AI bubble breaks?

    Okay so I might found something promising. The service manual mentions a 3G/LTE port that also carries one usb 2.0 port. The pads of the slot seem to be present, but just left unused as this laptop never had an option for using WWAN network cards. To reach the usb pins I have to fully disassemble the laptop. I will give it a try the next days and report back whether those pins are actually working or not. If successful, I also gonna write a follow up regarding the keyboard ARGB mod as it might be quite useful for lots of people here, especially for those with dead keyboard backlights

    NVIDIA RTX 5080 is now selling for nearly $2,000 at US retailers, $800 higher in just two months 5080 is now the new flagship. And priced equal. RTX 5080 starts 98.2% above NVIDIA’s $999 MSRP. I can't understand these new prices for 5080's. Because there is no "shortages" for 5080's. The retail shops here home is flooded with them. And this isn't region specific. It's a widespread disease. Some out there take the chance to milk every drop from the gamers/creators. Are gamers now the new stupids?🙄 In a way, I can somewhat understand the higher prices for Nvidia’s 32GB flagship cards—they are actually cheap AI cards. But this is out of hands.

    @ElLoco93 I will still send you those drivers! I have been very busy lately that's why I haven't had a chance to send them to you!

    Hello. Yes any cards that have UEFI VBIOS and DP_D signal as DP/eDP will work in your laptop. Someone tested with the RTX 4090 (X-VSION vbios chip) withOUT the backlight mod and it worked with his external DP output and also in Switchable Graphics mode. People tested the RTX 3000/5000 (HP vbios chip) and they worked in the Zbook G5 17. G5 17 and G6 17 share the same MXM pinouts so no worries. You need to find a custom heatsink for the RTX Ada cards. I wouldn't recommend 150W+ cards because of the thermal room and of the limit of the official 230W PSU. On my tests, the A5500 was slower than the RTX 3080M and the A5500 was a little bit faster than the RTX 5000. I also sell an RTX 4070 115W but it's a 8GB card. Has the backlight mod already installed on the card. It beats the 3080M. Without the backlight mod, you'll have a black screen in your main eDP screen.
