    Hello. I do have a few Maxwell MXM if you want. GTX 970M and 980M. Compatible with LVDS and eDP. One is a Clevo and one is a Dell.

    cool, was considering M5000M vs 980M upgrade for my machine hence the ask as i have LVDS. i mean id love a 10 series, but without DC (or equivalent) i'm stuck.
  5. Today
  6. loopster
    Both are LVDS and on 460.89.

    Hi everyone, thanks very much for the replies so far - really appreciate the help. I’m actually away for a couple of weeks at the moment, so I won’t be able to test anything until I’m back, but I wanted to clarify a few things in the meantime so I know what to try first. Just to recap: the system boots fine on Intel integrated graphics if I remove the MXM card completely, but with the 980M installed I get immediate 8 beeps and no display. A few questions I was hoping you could help with: Is a Clevo GTX 980M known to cause 8 beeps on a stock M17x R4 BIOS if the system is set to PEG? Which BIOS version is generally recommended for the 980M upgrade on the M17x R4 — stock A11/A12, or unlocked BIOS? Does the 980M need a Dell-specific VBIOS to work properly in this machine, or should a Clevo VBIOS work as long as the system is in SG mode? If the laptop boots on Intel graphics with no MXM card installed, does that confirm it’s the 60Hz Optimus board (not the 120Hz/PEG-only version)? Has anyone successfully run a Clevo 980M with the copper backplate still installed in an M17x R4, or is removing it generally required? When I get back, I plan to check BIOS version and graphics settings properly and try the suggested steps. Thanks again for the guidance -just trying to understand the correct direction before I start flashing anything.

    were both yours in LVDS screens? not that DC screens should behave any different.

    Maybe someday I can be bothered with Memory tuning, but its not going to be today, or tomorrow, or the day after :) I enjoy overclocking to yield tangible gains in gaming. Looks like PCIe Bifurcation works on my Aorus ITX x570. That being said I had to scrunch up the ribbon cables so much for the test that I think it was rendered non-functional. The 7900 XTX wouldnt show up at all and the 3090Ti was misbehaving quite severely reporting the link at PCIE 2.0 But it POSTed! so thats progress of a sorts. Got a shorter ribbon (60mm) so hopefully that works i'll test this weekend.

    If I hadn't just bought a M17x with the 3D screen I would have probably taken you up on this.

    LOL. Surprised @Mr. Fox🙄 Microsoft disappoints again: the Windows 11 speed test arrives with KB5077241, but it's not an app, it's just a link that takes you to Bing. Microsoft launched Windows 11 in 2021, and it wasn't the success they had hoped for. The operating system was in poor condition, riddled with bugs and problems.

    You get what people Microsoft want😀 Microsoft disappoints again: the Windows 11 speed test arrives with KB5077241, but it's not an app, it's just a link that takes you to Bing.

    Heyo everyone. I was sent a laptop by a miniPC OEM named GEEKOM for review, and I've published that said review tonight. Here it is in case anyone is interested. I quite liked the unit myself, all things considered. https://www.reddit.com/r/SuggestALaptop/comments/1rfpgqf/d2ultimas_review_of_geekoms_geekbook_x14_pro/ They requested a reddit post for it, so there is where it was published.

    Hello. I got the i7 7820HQ Precision 7720 FHD version (same as 7710 but 7th gen core I) and I managed to use an RTX 4070 MXM-A with the backlight mod cable. No problem, drivers are plug and play with nvcleanstall. No ACPI problems, No thermal problems, just needed to modify the heatsink. You need to get a better heatsink for your eDP 7510 because it'll be weak for any RTX 4060/4070. These cards are compatible with 1440p displays and 4k too as long as they are eDP and compatible with your laptop. Yes I run the RTX MXM in discrete mode, on eDP. You can ask cicichen on ebay for a custom one.

    ok, just noticed even USB ports doesnt work anymore, so think board is broken, just ordered new one... this means a bit of time for the 7720 and my old imac 12.2(27" mid 2011) want try a 3770 will work in it n putting the GTX 880M in it(3 heatpipe heatsink i have here since yrs)😇

    Hey everyone, I just picked up a Dell Precision 7510, upgrading from my Precision M4600 (great machine, but getting harder to work with). Current specs: • Xeon E3-1535M v5 • 32GB DDR4 • Quadro M2200 • Linux Mint primary / Windows 11 secondary I plan to swap in an E3-1575M v5 board. That CPU includes 128MB eDRAM (Crystalwell) and the Intel P580 iGPU. I prefer running Optimus for battery life, so that makes more sense to me than moving to a 1535M v6 board from a 7520 (assuming interchangeability holds). I’ve seen people upgrade these to 1440p 240Hz panels and even RTX-era MXM GPUs. I’m curious about the process and any complications you ran into. Specifically: • How did the MXM GPU behave? • Any POST errors or BIOS limitations? • Does discrete mode work properly? • Do you need an external display for initial setup? Your Windows experience is useful to me as well — I’ll be running Linux primarily, but I want to understand platform limitations. My goal is to modify and upgrade this machine as far as it reasonably goes. I’ll be using it for college and as a mobile gaming system.

    Are you using the latest driver? And what about the brightness adjustment, is it stuck to the max or can you adjust it normally?
  23. loopster
    I found that versions somewhere later than Dec. 2020 seem to break brightness control on my 8570w with M1000M and 8760w with M4000M. In each case I simply took the latest version from https://www.nv-drivers.eu/ for the respective cards listed and brightness control works flawlessly with those versions. I believe they are both on 460.89 (can't check right now to be sure). Never bothered to check what the latest functional one actually is. For the M2200 it would be the same version.

    The 16inch is really cheap Vs other countries in Europe however, 1130 euros new, but of course only 16/512. Not even 16/1TB. Edit wrong, that's not the pro. I wouldn't want the non pro anymore. Pro is much more sturdy feeling. (How that translates in real durability is of course not known).

    hi, emergency bios recovery does not work well on aw 17r1. Use a ch341a instead and flash the eeprom directly with a clean bios.

    I do memtest, OCCT, TM5 and that locks it in for me so I get it. That is standard across the board. DDR5 Ultra testing has really locked in temps being so finicky way more than any other memory I used before though >=8400. I can definitely see water cooling letting memory rip properly. I've never been one to say, "hey it booted and gave me an Aida score.....I'M STABLE BRUH!" 😅 But yeah, for some it has gotten to that point where they will just keep moving the goal posts instead of just saying, "Nice OC bro!" No I don't need to run my CPU, GPU or memory into the ground to make you feel better or less salty about my OC thank you very much....😉
  27. Daedalus
    Isnt the screen brightness adjustment (or lack thereof) a downside of the more powerful cards? Just LVDS screen on mine, although still hunting for a DC (or equivalent) screen. There was a chap on here (built ultimate 8770w thread) where he got a equivalent screen and the mythical 40/50pin cable too.

    We can only hope. Microslop et. Al are screwing everything up.

    Will do, once I put it in a laptop format, so everything is fair and square. I’m estimating 20 to 30*C difference so far. Exact measurements would be next month.
