Hello. You need the eDP 3D cable for that. LVDS one won't work for eDP because different lines. The eDP only works in dGPU. RTX Turing on M17X R4 in eDP doesn't work for me so I don't think you can go that far... 😕

When I had mine, Yes I had thermal pads on them.

Yes, it's the 60hz screen currently I have a new panel but haven't fitted it yet it's a 2k 165hz panel with the 40 pin connector for the edp connector 17.3 inch, I just haven't felt brave enough to get the glass off the original LCD panel yet. If I run throttle stop and a custom fan curve it's not running bad to be fair, I believe the bigger culprit causing issues in games is asynchronous on dx12 causing the system to crash on games such as dying light 2

The most logical path considering they want that memory for AI which is much more lucrative but they can't just flat out put a full on "pause" on their consumer section but they sure can clamp it to a trickle... If there was ever a time for the 5070ti on down crowd to switch to AMD, it is now..... It is brutally cold (relatively speaking) for us right now coming off of that snow storm which just left everything frozen over. Right now it is a balmy 4f (~ -16c) here.... When I was younger, I loved the cold and looked forward to it. Now? I can see why people move to warmer, more even tempered states. Stock has either dried up and/or baseline prices are getting a bit slap happy. Lowest prices on part picker: PNY 5070ti = 969.35 Asus Prime 5080 = $1364.99 Gigabyte Aorus Stealth Ice 5090 = $3579.98 Gigabyte Gaming 9070xt = $719.99 So glad I snagged that Red Devil earlier this month for $683 ($879.98 on PPC) and Vanguard 5090 $1971 (Basically Unobtanium status) back in August from Microcenter. That Vengeance 2x24GB 9200 kit I managed to snag in December for $389 is now $969.99 I picked up a couple of Samsung 9100 Pro 1TB drives w/ heatsinks when I saw the writing on the wall for ~$149.99. They are now $229.99 Luckily, CPUs, Motherboards, cases, PSUs are suffering the most in the pricing downturn and their prices have stayed the same or fallen a tad. Anyone looking to build out in the US, Microcenter bundle deals are just crazy good value atm. CPU, Motherboard and DDR5 memory in many configs and priced fairly even before the Ramapocalypse.... I'm set for hardware now till Nova and even then I will just need a MB and CPU..... Good call not waffling..... Unfortunately the big players will take the hit on the books and pass it along to us in the long run. The Googles and Microsofts will just keep it moving. AMD will take a minor chip on the chin. Hardest hit will be AI focused entities and Nvidia. I look to the day Nvidia has to come to us on bent knee, hat in hand, tail firmly tucked between their legs asking for our forgiveness.... I will never use any Micron consumer products again even if they fire back up the Crucial brand post AIB (AI Bust).

Do the ones highlighted in yellow require thermal pads? Thanks

Bow before my monstrosity For I have done it https://www.3dmark.com/3dm/151229648

Record setting Precision 7550 with a 7750's 110W Quadro rtx 5000 shoved into it https://www.3dmark.com/3dm/151229648

have similar with my 1866 sticks(2x8GB, 2x4GB) in my M6800, 2x8GB runs at 1866 C10, 2x4GB even at 1866 C10, but put i all 4 in, has fall back to 1600 C11 😒 maybe different ICs, not checked yet but i dont care anyway, got 16GB of 2133 for "cheap"(120 bucks). 😄

an angry thunderstorm now and then. @Papusan -21c is not too terrible. We will get that here in Idaho from time time. 60mph on a snowmobile is not as much fun when its that cold though!

It will take a big upset and collapse of the irrational AI grab-ass nonsense for this to correct itself. Hopefully the crash will be extremely hard, cost all of the bigshots hundreds of billions in losses and come sooner than later. I'd love to see them totally wipe out and burst into flames in time for Christmas sales in 2026. Would be awesome to see a massive dump of hardware surplus that bankrupt AI companies no longer want or need. I'm sure they already have stockpiles of GPUs, storage and RAM that are not even being used that they will need to dump.

I put 3 copper shims in however I think only one would've worked. Each one of them is .2mm so it's roughly .6mm right now however I was seeing much better results with just one .2mm shim thanks to the losses due to stacking thermal paste->shim->thermal paste too many times. In any case I'm glad that it's working properly and not throttling anymore even with the 105W bios. 3Dmark tests below. Please also note you will have to remove this post in order for the gpu to fit.

Yes …. It’s a great news my friend

Hello everyone i have rtx 3080 and gtx 1070 and i pay a greatest ( 7 USD ) for Lossless scaling and i bought the slave GPU pwr cable too . So what is the method to make my laptop works at SLI

What is that broooo i thought you OC the cpu to 5.1 or 5.2 ghz on all cores with your water cooling system

Hello, the only laptop from the same era which is compatible with the RTX HP Turing: the Dell Precision M6700 with the same 120Hz 3d screen as the M17X R4 eDP. I didn't try the pny variant, I tried the RTX 4070 and it did 8 beeps, the same as the HP RTX 3000... I also found for 540€ a whole HP ZBOOK 17 G6 with 64gb of RAM + RTX 5000 MXM!! Ollie, is your 60hz screen a LVDS one? Because I see Intel HD in your 3DMark tests

Hello. Since I already have a M6800 eDP (works with RTX Ampere and Ada on Bios and on OS without testing the drivers yet), I'm selling this M6700 with a 1080p eDP 120Hz 3D display installed because I don't need it anymore. Specs: CPU: Core i7 3940XM RAM: 16GB DDR3 Storage: 256GB SSD or none Screen: eDP 3D 1080p 120Hz, no dead pixels Body: Magnesium and plastic GPU: Quadro M5000M 8GB MXM (400€) or Quadro RTX 3000 6GB (520€) (Could be upgraded to an Quadro RTX 5000 HP in PEG). The current RTX Ampere and Ada only works in iGPU SG. Cleaned the inside of the fans and heatsinks. Good hinges, laptop has a finger print scanner, DVD driver, webcam and microphone. Everything works. Battery works with 10% wear and tear level. No AC included. Recommended AC 240W or 330W for 150W GPUs Good state, top part of the palmrest is a little sticky. Shipping to EU thru UPS or Colissimo and worldwide thru FEDEX Here are the pictures of the computer I own: https://www.leboncoin.fr/ad/ordinateurs/3136714524

I was watching my local microcenter when the news first broke about the 5070 Ti. At first there were still plenty available around MSRP, about 5 days ago there were some MSI models for $834 and $840 and the rest were $1K+. Looked today and the MSI model they have ~25+ of is $990 and the rest are $1K+. I fully expect within a few weeks you won't be able to get one at all. The DDR5 kit I bought in august is 4x the price.. thankfully I decided it pull the trigger on an upgrade at that point (got the 5070Ti at MSRP) .. i was waffling on waiting. At this point I don't think things are going to be a sane upgrade path until well into 2028.

SOLD FOR 550€!!

When I set the BIOS settings of my Thinkpad P16 Gen 3 to use my dedicated nVidia graphics card ONLY, my monitor switches to full brightness and the brightness controls of my laptop and Windows do not work anymore. Does anyone know how I can fix this?

I've now fitted a complete copper heatsink temps are all good no more overheating, throttle stop is a must I'm definitely getting power issues to the card though I'm trying to find out information relating to the shunt mod now 😂 I think I'd of rather left the Rtx 3000 in it.

it works but I need to add a copper shim to better the contact between the heatsink and the GPU die. thankfully based on the thermal paste pattern it looks to be about the sise of the Copper film I already purchased. will update with further developments.

So uhhh, developments This card runs too damn hot and i think there is less than a MM gap between the heatsink and the GPU die. However!!!, I can fix this using the copper foil I was using for the mosfets. Even with the MaxQ Vbios flashed onto the card and limited to 85W it was unable to keep the hotspot from creeping past 90 degrees. After that point it throttles down to 300-700Mhz, and makes certain games unplayable.

Seems Intel has really hit it out of the park with Panther lake X7 - it's like 20-70% faster than last years arrow lake, while neeeding less power than last years Lunar lake - or is the new OLED screen so efficient? The quoted battey life went up to 27 hours (Intel Oled X7 or AMD 2026 with inbuilt graphics ) vs last years 25.5 for the IPS or I think 18.5 hours for the Oled Arrow lake. The 2026 Ultra 5 IPS is even quoted at 29.5 hours of battery life but no price known yet. He quotes that the new case is 35% stiffer. Well any reviews say that the new case really feels premium unlike the plasticky feel of the old magnesium ones. Comparing it with the AMD numbers - Panther lake really seems like the much better choice. AMD seemingly is only slightly better than last year Lunar lake, but actually uses less power than Lunar lake so gets a little better battery life too. I do feel this one is the biggest update since 2021. Well last year Lunar lake/arrow lake was a big update over the rather unsuccesful 12-14.th gen Intel, but this time changes are even bigger if going for Intel. AMD likely 10-20% cheaper however - the basic Ultra 5 IPS pricing isn't announced yet - but the cheapest OLED Ultra 5 Intel vs cheapest AMD with IPS is 20% cheaper (or pay up 25%) But yeah so far I haven't really seen a test of the Ultra 5 anywhere - maybe it's rather Lunar lake performance - seing the architecture is quite similar. Seems like 16Z90U-KU7BK is the best deal right now... X7 with 32GB RAM, and not much more money than the cheapest Ultra 5. There will not be an X7 IPS model in 16". (and Ultra 7 over Ultra 5 won't be any advantage as usual). So if you want the highest performance by a good stretch with great battery life - it's OLED only.
