@Maro97 Most likely all chips that report errors (6/8). Start with the 2 that appear to be physically damaged and report most errors then retest.

back from vacation gaiz! and damn... who wouldve thought that my hardware setup actually generates more returns than my actual stock portfolio?! LULZ but even at an average selling price of 6080€ (bought my Suprim at 3300€ incl. tax and shipping, so +84% markup now) theres literally zero incentive for me to sell. just goes to show that when it comes to my PC hardware hobby, the passion and fun i get out of it far outweighs any monetary benefit it might generate. since basically all our everyday expenses are pretty much on the frugal side (aside from travels), i guess u can call that my one splurgeful vice 😄 btw if anyone is looking for a game to max out the power envelope, im currently playing Resident Evil 2 Remake and it basically pegs the GPU at 700-800W, waas surprised to see that! was also pleasantly surprised to see Control Resonant getting released, got it right away 🙂 games backlog is filling up very nicely with lots of awesome games im looking forward to! same way im looking forward to the AI bubble popping.... 😛

Thanks BIOS works fine, I tried BCLCK but my R3 hangs whenever I press ENTER key. There's no multiplier option in overclocking menu with i7 2760qm. Must be available only for XM cpu. Will try 970m & m3000m soon & let you know how it works (SG & PEG). It did not work with A12 stock bios btw, but IIRC that was a known caveat on the R3. I got 120GB SSD & WD black 750Go, both work fine in SATA3 mode.

My friend, the repair process has already been completed, and I have the MATS test report as the result. The card had a short circuit, and I already explained everything about it. My question is: based on the MATS report, how many VRAM chips need to be replaced?

I have news, very good ones, the P5000 arrived, i filed the radiator a bit more after i dremeled it yesterday, i put it in, and half-assembled the upper half of laptop. I got into Linux Mint 18.3 and it saw the gpu, with ./nvflash --list then i flashed the vbios just like DynamiteZerg did in 2018 and after the reboot it went straight into Windows10. After some fighting with NVCleaninstall i present you another example of P5000 working in Dell Precision M6800 I want to thank everyone for the provided help, will post some updates later after i reassemble the laptop fully and test it in some benchmarks.

Yes, you can use linux to flash the stock ES vbios. Overclocked ES vbios requires a hardware flasher. External keyboard is recommended yes.

from the second picture, looks like some trace is broken. always use ipa to make the pcb and trace more visible. if u can make a better picture with ipa on it...

The short circuit that happened on the MXM card has been fixed. But a short occurred on the 1.3-volt rail that powers the VRAM, which caused some of the VRAM modules to malfunction. I tested it using MATS. This is the result I got. Can someone tell me how many VRAM chips need to be replaced?

Another issue with rtx 3080 The screw connecting the modded vapor chamber heatsink to the adapter was installed without the size-reducing nut, which caused the screw to be the wrong size. Of course, the screw scratched the PCB and caused a short circuit on the GPU. Therefore, I strongly recommend always installing the nut and making sure it is properly in place before tightening the screw.

What is the termal pads layout to support your vapour chamber heatsink ? You can put numbers only on the vrams , mosfets and coils ?

All p870 laptops support 0.3b MXM gpu but with clevo subveyndor Vbios

Hi, this is my first post here. I have an Alienware 17 R1 (Ranger) laptop. It currently has the AMD R9 m290x / 8970m graphics card and the 1080p 60hz matte screen. I want to upgrade the graphics card to a NVIDIA GTX 980m 8GB. 1st question - Is buying from AliExpress okay? Have people had good or bad experiences buying MXM GPUs from there? Should I get it from somewhere else? 2nd question - Is there a particular variant of the 980m that is known to work with the 17 R1 laptop? Or is any fine. 3rd question - Should I just spend a bit more to get the GTX 1060 6GB? I don't really wanna spend more than $200 AUD on the card. There is a good AliExpress sale coming up in a few days that I want to take advantage of. Thank you!

to flash the ES bios for P5000? doesnt linux mint 18.3 with nvflash work? or for the overclocking? Thank you i will definietly do that, i do need to connect external keyboard for that correct?

Johnny Cash - Hurt Because - Best cover ever. Trent Reznor even said the song no longer belonged to him.

I'm planning to get a higher CFM one. Will be done in 2 weeks.

https://github.com/JadeRover/Nvidia-vBIOS-Clock-Power-Tweaker/releases It is pretty self explanatory, if you have any questions don't hesitate. you need CH341a bios programmer with 1.8v add-on module ! Also I recommend you half assemble the laptop (leave the keyboard + keyboard deck removed) to have easy access to the MXM gpu during flashing and testing, making sure the custom vbios works before assembling the laptop entirely.

Modifying the standard fan for the P570WM is a hassle. It would be a great help if you could sell me one. Of course, I will pay.

Sounds like a track pad issue

De8auer going over data from problems detected with the WVP2.... ~9 months in production data sample window compared against WVP1 dataset Sold 5x as many WVP2 as WVP1 WVP1 reports of melting/issues ZERO reports of melting WVP2 units 98% of the cases are cable issues 2% were WVP2 replacements for various reasons up to and including a faulty connector 0% were the GPU connector itself... Noctua edition has beautiful refinements and obviously runs quieter. Noctua uses a different heatsink and PCB for full PWM control vs just DC control on the original. Original WVP2 price on TG website is $140.28 Noctua Edition is $222.18 So Noctua is ~58% more Extrapolating on Amazon, the current WVP2 is 169.99 so expect potentially to pay ~268 on Amazon when it finally arrives.

Precision 7670 RTX 3080TI does it really work with TDP of 102 max and there is no normal resolution to fix it?

Hey man, I recently found your Captain’s Workspace videos again and I seriously miss them 😭 Your April Fools GPU videos were some of the most creative PC videos on YouTube. Have you ever thought about coming back? Even one new video with the insane hardware we have now would be amazing. There are definitely still people who remember the channel and would love to see you return. Hope you’re doing well!

Hey everyone, Hope you have been well. I hope someone can help me figure out what is going on with my Alienware 18 that I recently got. It is a Chinese port and I installed English Win 10 and a US keyboard onto it. Its specs are the following: Intel i7-4940MX @3.10ghz 32gb DDr3 ram 699gb HDD and 500gb 879 EVO SSD and 75gb SSD mSATA. NVIDIA Quadro P4000. Unlocked A12 bios Recently, the mouse constantly shifts to the left when in use or not in use. It also happens when I use my external Razer Naga Chroma Epic gaming mouse. I've tried reinstalling the mouse driver from Dell. The problem also occurs in Safe mode. The problem also occurs when touch pad is disabled and the external mouse is connected. The problem also occurs when the external mouse is disconnected. The battery is not connected, so I dont think its an electrical issue and I really hope its not a hardware issue. I would really appreciate the help in fixing this issue. Thanks!

I almost wanna do something maybe very stupid and put a P5200 in a ZBook 17 G6. I would prefer having a Pascal card than a later Turing card for experiments and I don't need RTX and whatever. Should I just commit and try it or should I have pause? I would prefer G6 over G5 for 8c16t as an upgrade over my M4800.
