I have a 17" dreamcolor display, no red tint from a Dell M6700 with interposer

@JadeRover I’ve decided to make a custom (yet universal) cable rather than hunting down a DreamColor (DC) kit. The reason is clear to me: these DC displays (LP173WF3-SLBx, x=1...4, for 8770w x=4, for 8760w x=3) haven’t been manufactured for about 14 years, and - worst of all - their aging backlights tend to shift toward a red tint over time. Furthermore, these panels are limited to a 60Hz refresh rate, and I’d prefer something higher, if possible. I don’t want to be tied to an old, rare display that could start turning reddish at any moment. I have other arguments as well: - Our respected guru GuitarG wrote on another forum: "...unfortunately DreamColor is power hog, takes at least 15W." - I suspect that the additional signal conversion that occurs when changing interface from eDP to LVDS might slightly degrade image quality. By the way, I did find on our local marketplace OLX an entire display assembly from a DC-equipped 8760w. The seller claims the screen isn’t showing any red tint yet. It uses a different stock video cable (his p/n ...801), but the seller insists it will work on an 8770w. I think I’ll pass, even though it’s a tempting offer. 🤭

this will end very badly - don't do it Jensen!

Her is my best score. Idk why but the VBIOS edit dident work on my RTX 3070 (ZRT Standart MXM), it applie the edit and detecd it but, tdp woudent go over 110W regartless of what i edited it.

In that case, best to get DC screen + cables, that way the sky is the limit in terms of GPU upgrade and you still get a nive 1080p IPS display with great colors. Quadro P5200 or RTX5000 from HP or even RTX4090 with backlight mod to get picture on the internal DC screen. We would only need to map the Primary (motherboard -> interposer) cable pinout + find the model of the connector used by this primary cable. That way, one would only have to make a diy interposer board, simple PCB trace routing to a 40 pin eDP connector + use an off the shelf cable to connect to the lcd. I don't think so, Dell uses the same system + the same number of parts but the pinouts are surely different and the connectors aren't even the same. Here are pictures of the dell m6700 parts : MOTHERBOARD TO INTERPOSER CABLE : INTERPOSER : INTERPOSER TO LCD CABLE :

For which GPU? RTX 4070? Is it v1 or v2

I bought two already but have not had the chance to use yet.

It is phucked up! A few years ago I never saw homelessness in Japan...ESPECIALY not women....Now I am seeing it without trying I also seen on the news the tent cities back home in Australia...WTF

No, just a cooling pad and there are like 40 backlight mod v2 cables available!

The issue is, what controlls the CPU power Rail, is a decompiled EC which cannot be found unless you have some engineer who gives it and even then it would need to be programmed or flashed, not the EC dump file itself that contains only a small amount of registers you can change.So your not going to find a solution to it apart from the IMON slope itself or getting a Desktop where that is not the issue, Laptops have low combined laptop power limits unless it's watercooled ones like Elekutronics (USA) or XMG (EU) or PCS (UK) The way to bypass the EC limit, is using IMON slope at around a value of 75 not 50, this underreports the CPU power to trick the EC. For example 75W = 100W and for example 90W = 120W For context I used i7-14650HX ( MSI KATANA 15 HX with 5060 laptop ) with -170mV and E cores disabled 8c16t the E cores disabled Increases Clock Speed! ( Max fans + IETS GT600V2 Max ) I used it to bypass the EC limit, Ill shall show you what I did below you cannot totally bypass however the total power limit of the laptop itself which is around 160W combined GPU+CPU power 115+55W With Imon Slope, I roughly get somewhere around 175W 115+65W sometimes 170W combined, but that's all you will be getting with this EC Look at some videos on how to bypass IMON slope on msi laptop! it's pretty much the same, you just have to make sure it's at 75 not 50 50 makes the voltages go higher and it's important you have a laptop cooler like llano V12 or IETS GT600, because this will mean more stress on the CPU VRM phases, which is outside the CPU die.

The future? Not sure but s¨¨this is so sad. Not many places I have seen is like this... I have never seen such poverty, except when I was in Africa. Let the AI bubble burst---- This is nice...

It looks like you got your water cooling solution installed in your Clevo ?

That is fantastic!!!

See the last minutes. He see it in my eyes. Yup! Ok. So they all can't do their job. Maybe sign off? Joke-heads! This is disturbing. And this is only the beginning... Let the heads start to roll. One by one. Maybe +100 years prison is sufficient? Sad seeing what all go into...😒 U.S. Treasury Secretary questions whether Nvidia knowingly sold AI GPUs to shell companies, says company itself is responsible — ‘I think it is important that anyone at the company there be held accountable for that’ Scott Bessent, U.S. Treasury Secretary, admitted that the U.S. export controls cannot prevent all the restricted hardware from reaching China or other adversaries, which is why the country allegedly obtained millions of restricted AI GPUs from Nvidia.

Another one from the world of non-existing digital guitar-ghosts.

im just blown away by these tiktok and youtube goodie two shoes kiddies thinking this will bring back their gpu's back, they think this world is really youtube and tiktok make believe bs, people out there circulating a petition to reinstate that clown! they are out of their firggin minds.

It really seems the new Interim CEO, former CFO Colette Kress, was desperately trying to limit or dissuade Jensen and Co from vastly over committing or being reasonable in balancing chip sales and financing for a more rationale long term outlook and approach and Jensen basically told her to kick rocks. I do think we are seeing the slow demise of current boss mode Nvidia with Jensen being the tip of the iceberg. I do think if Colette stays on as CEO, we will slowly, but surely, get a more rationale, long term balanced Nvidia. In hindsight, Jensen felt like a "Wall Street" caricature pushing all engines at full while running rampant through the worst choice in women while doing blow off his desk and going full Steve Ballmer: https://videocardz.com/newz/nvidia-reportedly-financed-ai-companies-unable-to-afford-its-gpus-huang-feared-a-supply-avalanche -------- If....IF you want to sell your 5090 for top dollar, it feels the next 4-6 weeks is prime time and after that prices may adjust down as the true extent of the over financing, channel stuffing and glut are felt. I said it before this rate was highly unsustainable. For example, do I think Newegg suddenly got a massive shipment of 5090s in from AIBs and are selling them for those outlandish prices? No, I DO think they held onto plenty of stock while prices continued to climb and they realize we've hit a tipping point so while perceived demand is still high, sell for these crazy prices. Me? After much thought, it was never about top dollar but enjoying my 5090 for the entire run as much as possible as cheap as possible. Bought that Astral in April 2025, returned it in June. Repurchased in August 2025, haven't looked back. I'll ride this Vanguard till right up to the 6000 series as always and go from there. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ As much as we sometimes dump on Asus, they do have the superior BIOS post EVGA days. I find myself returning to them over and over again. That Unify-X is a nice board but yeah..... How high does it top out with your CUDIMMS? That balanced core voltage is definitely nice and once you heal up and lop off its head, hopefully it will soar. Yikes, that is pretty involved and digits are purposely sensitive to touch and movement so I can see that being crazy annoying and painful. Any chance of that condition forming on your other digits or is it thumb exclusive?

NVIDIA are under federal investigation, trying to pin how billions of dollars worth of NVIDIA hardware ended up in china on the CEO (one of) multiple girlfriends is a smokescreen and big money tactical coverup BS.

Holy cow, nice display too? Did you use a flex cable mod?

I also have A4000 and use 180W charger. I turned off CPU’s Turbo Boost in BIOS and ran 3DMark benchmark but the score was very low. The CPU clock was limited to 2.5GHz, but the GPU clock dropped to around 500MHz in the last 3 minutes of the test although the GPU load showed 100%. GPU temp was capped at 80C degree while the hot spot temp reach 104C degree. The total system power was max at about 130W so I’m not sure if the charger was a limit factor. I guessed the GPU was throttled, wasn’t it?

What modem do you use? I'm currently using the Quectel EP06-E.
