Are you on the latest BIOS? I updated last week and got around to tuning it a bit more. I've found on the latest BIOS, I can now tune VNNAON manually without issue, maybe I always could and never tried. I thought I remember it causing instability when touched around launch and I never tried again. Now latest BIOS, I can push D2D up to max 40x without issue, stable. I just can't use the Asus auto voltage for VNNAON. This sample needs 1.12v instead of auto 1.012v. I had a 285K that could do 40x auto voltage, but P cores were just ever so slightly worse so I kept this 38x-39x auto chip. Now I've been testing and using 40x for a couple days and it's having zero issues. Sure it doesn't amount to much, but more mental wanting to max it out lol. It's honestly a shame Intel has killed off 1851 entirely and 270K Plus will be all they release. My guess with same crap 40x limitations in place. Panther Lake has a very high D2D apparently and they've fixed the latency issues.

That was one of the main reasons I stopped surfing there. Idiots can run their mouths but if you engage you were treated the as committing the same crime. It was even worse with their vendor reps at the time. I hope it has improved over the years but with that site having sold it's IP several times over now the sense of identity it had is likely fizzled even moreso.

I normally do not because people like that are not worth the effort. Nothing said can address their mental illness. I started/stopped more than once before replying, but when I noticed him being an ass to multiple people I decided it was worth the risk. The response I posted was much kinder and more humorous that the few I started to post and did not. I also pinged the moderators to draw their attention to the butthead.

@Will, it indeed appears that you are missing a capacitor (compairing to pictures on the internet). I wouldn't worry about it too much, it's just a decoupling capacitor that is there to make sure that the voltage drop that appears on the VRM input when the cpu suddenly turbos (= current spike), isn't too important. You still have another capacitor in // to the one you are missing : see the schematic : If you want to replace it, you'd want to get a "100 micro Farads 25v SMD capacitor". I recommend salvaging one from a dead/spare motherboard, from another laptop, not worth it to buy a new one just for that. Make sure it is 25v and you will be fine, these are quite big and are can be desoldered without problems, just make sure to not touch the dome with you soldering irong, just desolder at the legs.

@Annihilator You can try this tool to edit memory profiles from the hidden bios "memory overclocking", you can select 2 XMP profile or even create a custom profile from the menu directly. GitHub - DavidS95/Smokeless_UMAF It should work as in this discussion, this user said it worked on his i5-8300H latitude 5591 Any way this could work on Intel-based models? · DavidS95/Smokeless_UMAF · Discussion #6 · GitHub And I checked, precision 7720 and Latitude 5591 share the exact same hidden memory overclocking menu (looking at the IFR of both laptop's bios dumps). I think what should work best (and for a lesser cost) is buying standard 3200Mhz ram (nothing fancy) and then uses this hidden menu to push the integrated memory controller of the CPU to it's limits by creating custom memory profile @ 2933Mhz and even 3200Mhz if it's possible. more info here, as this tool was used for preecision 7780 -> I'll try myself in a few days when I have access to my 7720

What grade are you in? Are your classmates really mean to you, or is it a parenting issue? lol i wouldnt even bother replying to such comments 😄 huh, nice lil side bonus if the WVPII decreases coil whine on the gpu 😄 u planning to test any of the 800+W vbios versions? or sticking to gigachad?

Installed the WV2Pro while testing on the Ultra for setup, taking the Corsair SFX SL1000 for a real run and some basic looking around. SFX 1000w has held up nicely.... Testing with the MSI Yellow tip of death adapter during Steel Nomad runs before I get around to the big transplant. Still collecting some Ultra WoW data for my archives. Verdict with MSI's yellow tipped 4 headed octopus? Not doing backflips.... Saw pin 2 dip as low as 6.8 and Pin 6 as high as 9.4... Interesting coil whine test. Connected directly to the Corsair SFX SL1000 and the Vanguard was definitely noisier than in my main case (inversely, the 9070xt is quieter in my main rig case with the P2 than with the Corsair), but when I hooked up the WV2Pro, that extra coil whine went away. That bodes very well.

The MSI Yellow tip keep up the race. 9 out of 10 is the cute adapter from MSI. And how many MSI graphics cards suffer from bad soldering of the tiny trash?

Many thanks for the reply. When I initially fitted it, it did seem to slot in as normal and screw down with no problems. I did however notice what appeared to be a slight bulge in the case where the heatsink seemed more raised than with my previous card. It certainly wasn't immediately obvious how the plate would have been causing this though being on the other side, where there seemed to be plenty of room for it. Although, maybe I'm mistaken. Is it perfectly safe to remove this plate? There appears to be thermal pads between it and the card - will it not make it run too hot if I remove it?

He said it has better resistance and slightly better performance but mine had very bad heatpipes, they were in a rough shape. I found locally an i7 4900MQ I'll get that (100Mhz slower than the 4910MQ)

MX-4 is really bad at direct-die i noticed(used too all the time before i got the MX-7), works better on CPUs with heatspreader, MX-7 is a whole new lvl, was really suprised by it. n i really dont get it, why 3x 6mm heatpipes instead of 2x flattened 8mm, thermal conductivity is the same possible slightly better with the 2x8mm bcs of bigger contact area on the base plate.

atm i have the 7820HQ, but when i able to run the P5200 finally in my M6800 i will do bi upgrade to the XEON + RTX 3080(maybe 4090, we will see what im willing to spend on it 😄 ) n atm i found a kingston 2933 2x8 kit, when working will take a 2x16 kit, n even seen gskill has a 2800 n a 3000 kit, maybe worth da try too... n when upgrading to RTX will take a 4k display, bcs otherwise the CPU would be a massive bottleneck n at 4k not really matters the CPU only has 3.9GHz

Thanks for posting an update. Good information.

Thanks! I was looking at the verified ones and they were all DELL. How do you look at unverified vBIOSes?

There is this other temperature in my HWINFO named "Hot Spot", I wanted to know if that one is the temperature of the hottest chip of my GTX980M right? Either RAM, VRAM or VRM right? If so, I guess I put the thermal pads correctly because my Hot Spot has good temps? Thx

Finally got around to the ole switcheroo for some FO76 and WoW testing.... Welp, my 265k adventures have come to an end for potential on my main rig methinks. 9800X3D is just too beastly in Fallout 76 9070xt is just too weak on top of that but that was to be expected against a card that costs 3-6x more and is really a 5070ti/5080 contender depending on games played. Good news is for WoW at 4k? 265k tuned is a legit contender. It also was holding its own in Hogwarts too. For raids, I found it had almost that same smoothness and control of the lows like the SP109 14900KS in the wife's system. If all I played was WoW, I'd recommend a nice, tuned, cheap 265k on the cheapest board you could find. Problem of course is securing 8000+ DDR5 in the current market. Unfortunately I play equal parts Fallout76 and WoW both at 4k these days as my two main games and have for the last 3+ years and the X3D just massacres All of Intel's offerings in that game as it always has since I started testing with the 7800X3D several years ago vs the 12900k, 13900KS and eventually the 14900KS. I did manage to eeek out a little bit more performance on the Strix and 8600 tuned vs 8000 tuned with the better 265k being able to tune up quite nicely but it still couldn't hang but that's about right considering it couldn't hang even with the 14900k still churning along at 59/45/50 atm. Red Devil 9070xt was clocking over 3300 at stock in Fallout76. Much better than my Gigabyte 9070xt in the wife's system. 265k vs 9800X3D with MSI Vanguard 5090: 9070xt vs 5090 on 9800X3D: 9070xt vs 5090 on 265k: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Up next is a break down and cleaning of my main rig and install the MSI AI1600T PSU along with the WV2Pro and DDR5 cooling mod. I plan on holding onto my Vengeance 9200 sticks in anticipation for Nova.....

@Will Hello, I've been following your 7720 adventure and I think I will soon start mine, upgrading to a 7920HQ motherboard. Do you have the turbo bins overclock number for the xeon CPU you have ? It can be found here in throttlestop -> FIVR windows I would like to know what the value is for your xeon CPU. I know for a fact that the 7920HQ allows up to +6 turbo bins meaning max 1 core speed of 4.1Ghz -> 4.7Ghz possible. This is quite rare, usually i7s have +4 bins, and for XEONS cpus data is basically unavailable. Thanks ! have a good one

Do you thing it will work to use 3200Mhz ram (I have a few kits) and then via the programs linked here : create an XMP profile for 2933Mhz and possibly 3200mz ? Since the chips on the 3200mhz jedec stick will support up to 3200mhz ? I already used these programs to OC some DDR3L, there are options for DDR4 too. We just need to hope that the 7720 allows writing to ram spd

VGA Bios Collection: Nvidia Quadro FX3800m 1024 MB | TechPowerUp did some quick search and got FX3800M one for you

PEG RTX 4080, 150W, Arctic MX-4 The heatsink performance: 83C max, throttles at second 25th out of 60 seconds. The main problem comes from the badly curved heatpipes, mostly the third heatpipe which probably cuts 50% of its performance easily. It's like a loss of 15-20W easily. Memory temps: 80C max Hotspot temps: 100C max No thermal throttles in heaven benchmark 4.0, lower FPS than the Clevo P570WM3 due to the CPU I guess, I use an i7 4700MQ and not the best i7 4940MX. No thermal throttles in userbenchmark GPU suite benchmarks, very good score. I think having better heatpipes without any big tends + PTM7950 could maybe handle 150W

Over 80% of companies report no productivity gains from AI so far despite billions in investment, survey suggests

I thought he was trying to get a quick buck from me... I hope it has express shipping:)

look, so no scam n 100% service, custom stuff sometimes not fit 100% like original parts, but most of those lil custom factories always try to fix it 🙂

Yeah and I give up, I always get scammed man, CPU not work, heatsink doesn't fit with palmrest. The heatpipes look in bad shape EDIT: SELLER WILL GIVE ME A FREE NEW HEATPIPE V2!!!! But I need to wait like 3 weeks ... Yes, he said FREE
