This is an ADTLINK PCle 5.0 Oculink to PCle X16 Extension Cable EGPU Adapter For NUC / ITX / STX / Notebook PC Mini-PC M.2 NVMe Slot . I just found this on AliExpress: https://a.aliexpress.com/_mMYzyFv working with this MXM Adapter

I didn’t expect this. I saw this video a few hours ago and replayed it several times to make sure that it was actually possible to run a desktop GPU externally on MXM-based laptops using this adapter. The adapter has an internal NVMe connection and a DP port that connects to the graphics card to output the image on the laptop’s internal display. And as you can see, it actually works successfully. https://b23.tv/ENKfQ4S

Hello, I am interested in buying out broken MXM laptops. I have good knowledge of motherboard repairs so I can attempt repairs. Either in complete or incomplete state Price to be discussed based on the system + the state + the components Currently I am interested in Dell precision M4800 and M6800 Also interested in precision 7520/7720, zbook 17 G4 zbook 17 g5 and zbook 17 g6. I am in France/EU so EU shipping is the most worth while. Also any other broken workstation/powerfull laptops without an MXM slot I am interested in buying. Thanks, have a good one.

You can send me an PM. But which cards will work with DSanke mod Orr out of the stock?

I saw it featured in a video on Bilibili.

Hi Eban, thanks for your feedback. Yes, I have read quite a few longevity issues about the 880m and 980m. Now I am considering to spend a bit more to buy either a GTX 1060 6GB or Quadro P4000 8GB. Link to P4000 AliExpress listing where i would be buying it from: https://a.aliexpress.com/_mK6J6AX Link to GTX 1060 AliExpress listing where I would be buying it from: https://a.aliexpress.com/_msOiDhZ I am based in Australia so buying from AliExpress seems like the most economical choice. Shipping and taxes from buying parts from USA or Europe is usually very expensive. Does anyone know if I need to get a modded heatsink to install either of these cards? And will they work with my 60hz display? I've seen conflicting information in forums about Ranger compatibility with pascal and 60hz matte display.

Where did you get this?

This tested with clevo barebone P751DM2, using an MXM to PCle adapter to externally connect a desktop graphics card, and connecting the graphics card's video cable back to the MXM card, finally managed to light up the internal screen.

Has anyone tried this adapter to run an external desktop GPU?

We can go to DMs if you're interested to get one of the RTX 4070 card

Do you have pics and price?

I dont really like this guy but here is a quick and dirty how to find different SMD components that are cactus. Start here and then ask for further information as required.

With any BIOS the RTX 40XX work as long as your BIOS is in UEFI, your screen is eDP and the DP_D port of your MXM is DP/eDP. A must: I used my backlight mod v2 to power on the display and to modify the brightness. I also contacted someone for a custom heatsink. I have a RTX 4070 with the backlight mod already installed onto it.

Ok, which one is the correct Bios? For the P775dm there are two. Old Graphics or standard. And how do the 40xx get working?

Upgrading to the RTX 4070 MXM or 4080 MXM. I sell one. Upgrading the heatsink, upgrading the fans to the strongest ones. Upgrading to an i7 8700K with the Dsanke BIOS mod + you need to cover some of your LGA pads to make this upgrade successful. Upgrading to 64GB DDR4 RAM. Upgrading the screen to a 4K 120Hz with the correct 40 pins eDP cable

So, I bought a cheap XMG U716 with I7-6700 and Clevo GTX 980 180w GPU. What is possible in this Device? And with or without DSanke Mod-BIOS?

Hi everyone, I'm tuning my MSI Katana 15 HX (Core i9-14900HX, RTX 5060 Laptop). Despite having solid thermal headroom and an undervolted profile, the system is strictly hitting an EC (Embedded Controller) / hardware power limit around ~85W to 93W sustained under Cinebench R23 / CPU-Z stress tests. ### Current Tuning & Thermal Setup: - Undervolt: -129.9 mV Core / Cache offset via ThrottleStop FIVR. - AC Loadline tuned to 90 in BIOS. - Thermal Mod: Conductonaut Extreme Liquid Metal on the CPU die, and Upsiren UX PRO Ultra thermal putty on the VRMs / VRAM with the stock aluminum plate heatsink. - Thermals: Extremely cool. Full load package power peaks at ~93.7W at only 73°C (with fan running moderately; if fans are maxed out, it drops into the low 50s°C). VRM temps stay around 70–80°C. - Cinebench R23 score: ~28,185 pts at ~93W. - CPU-Z Multi-Thread: ~12,100 pts. ### The Issue: 1. In ThrottleStop TPL, Long Power PL1 and Short Power PL2 are set higher (115W/135W+), Sync MMIO unchecked, Disable Controls unchecked. MSI Center is set to Extreme Performance Mode. 2. In the Advanced BIOS (Power & Performance / Config TDP), PL1/PL2 are also configured higher (115W-150W). 3. However, whenever the CPU package power attempts to breach ~85W–93W, the system immediately cuts clock ratios back down to lock the package power around 82W–85W. 4. I want to keep IMON settings strictly at stock/untouched to maintain system stability and SVID accuracy. ### Questions for the community: 1. Is there any known software, MSR flag, or BIOS setting to bypass this EC-enforced ~85W/93W limit without physical motherboard modifications? 2. Has anyone found custom EC firmware or specific register offsets in the AMI Aptio V BIOS that grant control over this chassis' power limits? 3. Could secondary power limiters (such as Platform PL4, VR current limits, or Tau window) be triggering this throttle? Attached are my ThrottleStop screens, TPL, FIVR, and benchmark results. Any advice or technical insight from experienced tuners would be greatly appreciated!

Wow my ancient write up is still helping someone today! Nice!

is there a reasonably prices workstation that doesnt have bad thermals and power management?

That's in line with what I got on 7770 (see the very second post in this thread). If you're getting that on 7670, I guess that's even better, because that system is a bit more thermally constrained. Some people have put in work to get better scores. But unfortunately, these aren't the best systems when it comes to thermals and power management, which is a big part of the reason why I ditched it as my daily driver after less than a year.

And for me, the fun is in the journey of learning and gaining experience.

I bought a GPU, but it turned out to have a problem, and I don’t know what caused it. So I decided to return it and save myself the headache. Now I’m trying to repair the damaged GPU that was working perfectly and was known to be reliable.

They do not, that was the case on 8570 and 8770 G5 and G6 (probably G4 too) have eDP on DP_D position of MXM slot, G1, G2 and G3 have eDP on DP_C so either a custom vbios is required to get picture on screen or a backlight cable mod. All zbooks have only eDP display connections. 17 g1 and 17 g2 have an eDP to LVDS converter on the display cable because they used LVDS displays, the GPU will read the display as eDP however.
