Hi everyone, I have some great news for the Desktop-GFX project! This graphics card from MSI is the perfect fit for the P870xx. The card is called MSI GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Ventus 3X PZ! Other cards also work very well, but this one is a perfect fit.

This is the result of the CPU performance test.

Thanks for the response, Hoping for a speedy recovery for you. Think i found Boardview you describe. HP EliteBook 8560W VANHALEN HR HPB MV MB1 V2 Boardview File - Lab-One Forum i'll take a look. ive got a JST 4 pin splitter set to get wires across the Mobo from JST CPU source. One question i do have is, as you describe wiring the "before coil" doesnt that just equate to post the JST plug / wire as it hits the fan circuit board (not challenging the process, just trying to look at it modularly. I ask as i can pop the little JST wires out to "remove" +5v etc wires from the circuit to add them from DVD edge. so its just the PWM sense that comes across via JST cable solution. also the JST is 4 wire from CPU fan, am i missing something? On the fan PCB its 1,2,3,5 with pad 4 vacant on sunon PCB (hence my confusion) EDIT: also not sure why but im getting some of the pictures not viewable in you region (which is a PITA)

Maxwell GPUs don’t require any vBIOS work. Note that Tesla M6 doesn’t support direct display output and can only work through the Intel iGPU via Optimus. Also, you do have to do a little mod to the GPU heatsink to get these cards to fit.

To answer the question we need an extensive test or at lest collections of users tests data and compare it with newer latest DTR'ish laptops cpu/gpus the main obvious change it's the weight

ok, next step done: found n took a 4x4GB set of kingston 2133MHz mem, now just waiting for the parcel from aliexpress n the P5200 from poland from @colohgc. 😄 new palrest ordered too, the old one looks good but its sticky(really dont know why in the 2000s everyone putted those shitty coat on everything what get sticky after couple of yrs, even ferrari did on their knobs in 400k+ cars 😵‍💫), backlit keyboard to find with CH layout is nearly impossible, so maybe will take a look for a german one. n seen those samsung v-nand SATA SSDs have a really tiny circuit boards, will try to fit it in secondary bay without case while the "tuning" fan is in, when it fits will use raid0 with a second one... bcs whats better then speed? more speed!! 🤪 n still thinking about hailo-8 in the WWAN slot 🫠

Hi there, sorry for such long time to notice, hand is still recovering and in few days I will have other hand "not usable" for some time 😞 So let me help as much I can now, About looking for 5V points, use pins from under DVD slot. To find which one, type "8560w boardview" in search engine, use OpenBoardviewer from github. With such tool you can also understand fan connector pins role. You need only one wire across board, if I remember, connect PWM pin from "slave fan" to PWM pin from "main fan". REMEMBER to solder it BEFORE that little coil. If you solder it AFTER coil (directly to 5 legged IC) you will damage it! 1- 5V 2- PWM 3- GND 4- Tacho 5- Coild for PWM signal Like I wrote, remember to solder in between that coil (5) and pin (2). For DVD port you can even use electronic side cutter. I did so, of course being careful and gently. After plastic "deletion" metal wires left I just desoldered with soldering iron and pinched them with pliers. Good luck Nice one ! Sure! No problem, I even found another DC board, so I have 3 in total - one from Zbook (using it in my laptop) and two from 8560W (one is green, other blue). I will upload them all after I will be able to work! BTW, PC industry situation nowadays makes my inside very sad, I think we will have to get through that Shawkshank Redemption pipe of (...) with what we have.. I had plans to build myself a nice PC, but after PC parts price rising I decided to stay with my trusty old notebook even longer. Untill he will come of age to drink beer with me ^_^ See you all later !

Can someone guide me regarding vBIOS? Is it required for GPUs like the GTX 970M, GTX 980M, Tesla M6, etc.? Where can it be downloaded?

As the title says, looking for a vBIOS dump of one of these GPUs. Thank you very much!

That's my development, and there's more! 🙂 Maro gave you tips... Greetz..

What is the cpu frequency ?

Good on you brother! Nothing is as frustrating as "comfortably getting by." Just enough where life is comfortable, but not enough if something were to go sideways or you suddenly wanted to take a break or do something else but can't really afford to do that....cruise control has its pros and cons. Almost 2 out of every 3 people live paycheck to paycheck in America now. It's a somber reality. Here's wishing you all the luck and success in the world man....now go get it. 🙂 My dad used to tell us all the time, "You know the people who both lose and win the most at life still equally die right? Immortality is not in the prize pool."

Hey fellas. Yeah I’m just burned out on just barely gett’n by is all. I’m 35 years old now been contemplating life a lot lately, me and my wife both work full time from home, life is good in the new house. Bills are paid, but that’s it lol. Things are getting really expensive lately like (Daughters new braces 😬) kids will need cars in a 2-3 years (I’m broke). I need to do something on the side and make some major moves. About ten years ago I use to buy and sale junk cars, this was extremely lucrative. There were times when making $2,500 on a good day wasn’t impossible. I have been complacent and living on auto pilot for several years now doing the minimum.. The 5090 had to go though, I needed the funds to help fund a truck+car trailer+winch. In this case, not a truck but close, I bought a clean and well kept used Tahoe Z71 4x4. Lately I learned that we got to step outside of that comfort zone and take some risks in order to gain something or see change. If nothing changes, nothing changes. Life is hard, none of us make it out alive. 😂

a good reason why you should clean that fan & HS once a year

my brother's HP Spectre x360 - 15-df1033dx laptop got automatically upgraded from Win10 22H2 to Win11 24H2 (home edition) several months ago (likely thru windows update). so far, no serious problems running Win11

BIOS & driver downloads are available for most Framework laptops from this page

nice. why not update the Nahimic APO4 driver to either 4.15.3.0 or 4.15.4.0, FrancoTecno? or at least the 4.11.6.2 version of the APO4 driver {this one is specifically available from the MSI web site, which seems to be a "hotfix" version of 4.11.6.0} the 4.15.3.0 & higher versions of the APO4 driver no longer include the somewhat annoying "Nahimic companion" app, which was dropped starting from the 4.15.3.0 release.

You also asked on Reddit. Answer is the same: I can't tell anything about the battery. I always use it with the AC power supply and only use the battery in case of power emergencies.

Murphy's Law. More dead RAM kits when RAM prices are at their worst. This seems to be happening freakishly often.

Thank you

'AI should be a choice. Here's where you stand': 90% of DuckDuckGo users vote no to AI in poll DuckDuckGo has two different versions of its search engine: one with AI, and one without - and the latter is overwhelmingly the most popular flavor. Nine out of ten DuckDuckGo users don't want AI anywhere near their search OpenAI admits that the AI bubble will burst in the coming years and only the best companies in the sector will survive. Artificial intelligence has been around for decades, but the current concept differs from previous ones. AI has always required significant computing power, and since hardware was much less powerful back then, it was severely limited.

Having rich people pay the way of the poor is always a stupid idea and a plan destined for failure. AI is a stupid "investment" because consumers do not need it or want it bad enough to pay for it. The crazy people sinking billions into it are going to lose their butts and it will bring a smile to my face when they begin to collapse like the Hindenburg and fall from the sky in flames. I use AI, but I won't pay for it. If it is not free then I will not use it. That is the majority sentiment and there is not enough need for it in business for them to be able to charge enough to make a profit. It is causing first-world problems for consumers, system builders and consumer-focused hardware manufacturers with limited supply and stupid GPU, RAM and NVMe prices, but this will pass and all of the money spent to ramp up production to feed the AI pig that collapses will leave those companies in the same dire straits. We will just have to wait for stupidity to runs its course. How long it will take remains to be seen. It will happen when they run out of other people's money.

With water cooling on the Clevo P775. Performance test results: 100% CPU usage on the 9900K with a maximum temperature of 70°C. Very impressive.

i wonder if this explains why I couldn't upgrade from 591.59 to .74 or .86 without my 5090 thinking it was in a thin and light laptop. Turning off Hardware acceleration which I didn't even know was on or an item since it was buried in settings fixed the problem, at least for now.
