Hello, good news for M6800 users, a new heatsink has been made that is 2 in 1! Triple heatpipes for the GPU and full copper plate. Can support standard NVIDIA MXM and the offset center ones! https://ebay.us/m/oFTxSC Edit: a more expensive option would be out... 4 heatpipes version, extended fins. CPU heatsink would still have 2 short heatpipes going to the right side and it'll be also full copper with "C-Shells spikes". Would probably cost 50-60USD more... There is also one for M6700 but the RTX Ampère and Ada won't work in PEG eDP...

Hi, as I said, the RTX 5070Ti Ventus is on its way to you. I believe this will accelerate your wonderful project and extend the life of the P870 for many more years! I heartily encourage you to support the Developer79 project! It's doing something laptop manufacturers don't want and probably never will do with laptops. Best regards. Dariusz

I was going to post this video. I'm glad I saved money going with the Zotac 5090.

They are all part of the same circle jerk and worshipping at the same Satanic throne of AI filth.

It's literally a 4-cell battery; why does Dell state it comes with a 6-cell battery option?🤣

im glad to hear that 👍 credit where credit is due, at the end of the day no vendors comes close to Dell's customer service standing behind their hardware.

Intel put the money into AI focused GPUs. They want their share of the cake before the bubble pops. But max profit from the more expensive workstation cards is also very welcome. If you are in hope for intel consumer graphics cards meant for gaming, then you can buy Intel CPUs. iGPU will come with Multi-Frame Generation feature, same as from Nvidia. Nice. Intel confirms its fight in GPUs against NVIDIA and AMD by hiring Eric Demers to lead the design of its graphics architecture. Intel has faced uncertainty in the AI sector for the past two years, but yesterday, at Cisco's AI Summit, it sought to dispel any doubts about its continued presence in the GPU market. Intel Arc B770, aka Big Battlemage, has reportedly been canceled due to AI A new report citing sources at Intel is saying that the company has canceled the Intel Arc B770 in favor of the workstation, AI-focused Arc Pro B70. According to a report on XDA, Intel has canceled its plans for a second Battlemage gaming GPU due to a "lack of financial viability." Edit.

Yeah, that should be fine. They also constantly change under load to a small degree. That is also normal. If you start seeing 2.0 to 3.0 amps variance under load where one pin is always that much lower than the rest of the pins then you should start investigating what the deal is because something is wrong. You got a lot of stuff done. I look forward to hearing how all the other things worked out once you have more time for testing. If you had a poor mount that would certainly diminish your memory overclock. You do not need to have the high performance IHS super tight. Only tight enough that it fully presses the CPU into the socket pins and the screws are not loose.

soooooo i used my last three days of sick leave to get some shit done at home, including computer stuff 🙂 > applied full backplate coverage TG Putty Pro - check! if anyone is interested, you need about 250-300 grams worth of putty to cover the whole backside of an air cooled 5090. > while the gpu was out, i used the opportunity to also install the wireview pro II and replace the gpu power cable (angled back to straight, both seasonic) > good news: both cable and socket were still pristine, not even a whiff of discoloration or burn marks. > good news 2: did a quick max OC test in alan wake at max. settings with the gigachad vbios, max. variance i saw between pins was 1.1 amps (7.5 vs. 8.6) under load, that i can totally live with! > also finally came around to delid my second 9950X3D and put it under the TG high performance heat spreader with LM > while i was at it, did some dusting and cleaned the tempered glass windows, clear views to the RGB rainbow puke once more 😄 still need to do testing with regards to gpu / cpu temps after the changes, as well as check how the RAM OC was impacted. you might remember that i suspected a suboptimal cpu mount for not being able to reach my previously stable 8000 setting. fingers crossed!

Looking closely it seems that the cables are from 13’, the shell is from 14’ and the antennas are from 15’!

For anyone curious since it seems to be very rare, here’s the nos rgb replacement top lid.

Hello. There's a thread called Clevo P570WM Upgrading thread, that's where the benchmarks are.

Yes that's a common issue with optimus laptops, reinstalling the current dispay output drivers (in your case dGPU drivers) should do the trick

Hi everyone, I’m going to keep this short and sweet but the Janktop will be coming back with a second prototype sometime in the next month! This design is far more polished and versatile as well as aesthetic, and is modeled in FreeCad. It will feature solutions for every design flaw I’ve encountered in my 4 years with the prototype (which is still running by the way) and should be viable enough for public release! In other good news, manufacturing prices seem to have gone down and the sheet cutting can now be done for as little as 120 dollars or less through Xometry! I will attach a sneak peek of new parts I have coming and I’ll post a much bigger update (and maybe a video) when I have a finished second prototype. It’s been a long journey but hopefully it will be time for the Janktop to take its place as a viable DTR option in the near future.

Follow up: After some mails were exchanged, I was offered a full refund from Dell. I am probably going this way, the machine was frustrating enough.

Finally I did manage a higher clock, 5.0GHZ clock ratio in all core but it wasn’t steady, was gradually dropping speed, going down to 4.9ghz. Temps max were around 94c drawing 230w~250w, PL1 & PL2 Max. V offset: -80mv Cinebench score: 15,783pts I did try as well at 4.9GHZ clocks ratio, that was handling well and steady. V offset: -80mv Max pl1 pl2 Temps 80~90c Power consumption: about 230w Cinebench Score: 15,698pts Tweaked a bit more with voltage V offset: -83mv clock ratio: 5.0GHz Last score: 15,851 Max pl1 pl2 Max power consumption: 250w (relatively) No tweaking this laptop anymore, I think this is the max it can perform, this DIY water-cooler needs further improvement. I think is good as an experience.

Hello I have both 17.3" FHD Dreamcolor 60Hz display and eDP to LVDS cable. I'm selling them if you want as backup. Interposer also. I also have a Dell precision m6700 with i7 3940XM, eDP 120Hz 3D vibrant screen and 16GB of RAM, trying to get rid of it too.

Yes, the 50 pin Lvds screen you linked before is 1080p, IPS, 60hz, 10 but color depth, nice display.

Well I guess identical to your 5050. On the 5050 model the 5050 can push 40w continuously I think according to reviews. That way the CPU can still add over 25w. According to that review the fans were first used already on the 5050 version - but not the Aerominum case. It does make sense IMHO. On my old 2022 it throttles to around 27-28w on continuous load with single fan that is smaller. I think even with single heat pipe but two fans that push a bit more air 50-55w should actually be possible in thermal envelope. Lunar lake LG gram are not thermally throttled but because LG set very small tdp limits (well easy to see in throttlestop why it throttles). And yeah in summer over 30° that may be different vs the typical 21-22° of normal tests.

Hey Guys! On the z490-h for now until the replacement motherboard arrives. I have also acquired the GPU risers to split the x16 lane into x8 so I can do 2 GPU's off the single lane via bifurcation. 3090Ti will be coming out of retirement to some degree for Lossless Scaling but in the interim I did test it conceptually with the 3090Ti as raster and the 1080Ti as Frame Gen. Seems to work pretty well in the couple of titles that I have tested. Allegedly you dont want the Raster GPU to be fully saturated as it increases the time it takes to send the frames to the secondary GPU. Honestly I am pretty surprised how well it worked given the software's price point. Main game I have tested were Monster Hunter Wilds and Borderlands 4 both games have piss poor engines. I was able to hit 120 FPS in both, B4 did crash a couple of times but I was mucking with the settings as that game cant run without some Scaling or FG. I did also try Horizon: Forbidden West but I should have to the DLC area as its more GPU intensive. For people that dont want to pony up the cash for new GPU's I think this may be a viable option on the table much in the way SLI/Xfire used to be for me in the old days. Nvidia still pisses me off though. If I install 591 driver, 1080Ti doesnt work, If I install latest driver for 1080Ti (581) then the 3090Ti doesnt work. I have to let windows install 560 in order for both to work until I figure out another way to go about it.

Thank you for some clarification, I don’t necessarily need 120 but is there an ips full rgb screen I can get with 120? I mostly just want a very vibrant screen similar to my plasma tvs, I’ve been spoiled by them so tn doesn’t cut it anymore. Also, are there any other options for the rgb cable I have since I already have it? I think Dell sold it as a replacement part because it’s complete and completely new in box, interestingly it has a manufacture date of 2014!

Is very interesting information.It is a reason to buy p5200.I saw it for a 100 usd (used,fully working).

Hello. M6700 doesn't work with the RTX Ampère and Ada cards... With the 120Hz eDP screen of course. M6800 eDP (without IGPU) works with the RTX Ampère and Ada cards. Installed the drivers and did the "EDID manipulation because of the bad X-VSION VBIOS". The card pulled instantly 150W when I launched Furmark, I had to stop at second 3 because of my temporary heatsink test. It throttled so fast when the core reached 100C. I didn't test the HDMI out and DP out, it should work with X-VSION VBIOS. HDMI is DP_C and DP is DP_A. I'll sell the eDP M6700 120Hz 3D with Core I7 3940XM and 16GB RAM, if someone is interested... This project was expensive.

Polished the heatsink and applied PTM7950. Some good results. I got about -10C for doing that. i am not good at Overclocking, this is how far I could go. PTM7950 Temps are hovering around 70c to 80c with OC (before it used to be around 90c~95c with OC) very stable, not crashing. Cinebench: 15,476pts, clocks are stuck at 4.8ghz. Draws about 196w. If “Ring Bin Down and V-Max Stress” is unchecked draws about 260w but clocks fall down and many limits warning appears. I think I could score higher, still working on it.

Hi there is already a FORUM specially for that laptop, it has all the necessary Answers and Question you are looking for. I can give you some advice. 1- Proper thermal Pad size and well clean polished heatsink. (You can use PTM7950 for GPU and CPU only, very efficient) 2- Use a copper shim of 0.5mm under the GPU die, it has a kind of a small gap that thermal paste cannot properly cover. Use thermal paste on both side to the copper shim Or PTM7950 thermal pad. 3- BUY a Water-cooler or make your own (eBay or Aliexpress) for overclocking is necessary. 4- last, you can delid your CPU with better Copper die or use the same DIE change the internal thermalpaste from factory, Intel thermal paste is not that good, use Liquid Metal from thermal grizzly. (WARNING: Very dangerous to do, can break your CPU) For more question please follow the official Forum.
