The only problem is that there isn't a correct pinout for this cable yet. If you really want to use the new EDP display, I think it's perfectly possible to use an adapter board from the T430.

I double checked again on the boardview of the 8570w motherboard and this is not the case The motherboard never converts LVDS to eDP, not possible, same for the cable or interposer board, the technology to convert LVDS to eDP came after these laptops were built. Famously the thinkpad T430 'IPS' mod uses a third party LVDS -> eDP converter. On the screenshot I showed just above, the motherboard LCD connector has both eDP and LVDS on the same connector, both coming from the GPU in the MXM slot, in a direct line, no conversion going on in the motherboard. The eDP cable you are talking about doesn't convert any signal, it just connects the eDP found on the motherboard screen connector to the eDP display. A LVDS cable that frequently came with these models connects the LVDS found in the motherboard screen connector to the LVDS of the screen. I talked about how zbooks do this. All zbooks, (starting g1, 15/17 models) have only eDP on the motherboard screen connector. After that, the cable carries the eDP signal to an interposer board -> see my post at the top of the page showing pictures of such interposer that converts eDP to LVDS. The problem is that the 8570w never shipped with a standard eDP cable that could connect into a modern eDP display. It was made to connect to the 40 pin eDP interposer board used to communicate to the Dream Color LVDS LCD. On the pictures of such interposer board, the connector that get's data from the motherboard is non standard to eDP display. Good news is that, unlike thinkpad T430 that needs an added converter board to get modern eDP displays working, 8570w just needs a modded cable that has it's end modified so that it can connect to a standard eDP display connector.

Some 15.6 and 17.3 inch laptops of that era (ivy bridge + Haswell) used eDP to LVDS converters so that they could connect to LVDS displays that were more common at the time. You are in luck as your model came with a 3K option, what you have to do is hunt down that 3K eDP cable as it can only connect to a 3K eDP display (LVDS tops out at 1080p). Then, you'll have to check if the connector is 40 pins 0.5mm pitch or 40 pins 0.4mm pitch, after that you can buy a 40 pin display of your liking (making sure the pin pitch + connector position will work with the 3K cable). You can chose 1440p 144Hz for example I would not go up to 4K resolution as older systems can't deal with the bandwidth if the internal eDP connection is limited to DP1.1 (not always the case : happens if there is mux switch in the way, example precision M6700 has no mux switch = DP version limited by MXM gpu installed). If you really want 144Hz, the safest way is getting 1080p 144Hz as even if it is DP1.1 limited because of mux switch, you can still get 154Hz max

There is some (understandable) confusion regarding that. M4800 has 3 different motherboards with 2 different QHD capable cables (giving 4 lanes of eDP required for running a QHD/4K display): MOTHERBOARDS : -one "early" one (2013) with LVDS connector (JLVDS1) for the standard display - LA-9771p - WITH JEPWR1 connector SOLDERED motherboard ! has option for a QHD eDP display using the appropriate LVDS QHD cable. See following picture : - one "early" one (2013) with LVDS connector (JLVDS1) for the standard display - LA-9771p - WITH JEPWR1 connector NOT PUPULATED on motherboard ! has no option for a QHD eDP display UNLESS you modify this motherbard by adding the missing JEDP connector and 2x100nf capacitors. Then you can use the appropriate LVDS QHD cable. See following picture : - one "later" motherboard (2014) with eDP connector (JEDP1) for the standard display - LA-9772p - has option for a QHD eDP display using the appropriate eDP UHD cable. See following picture : CABLES : - "LVDS QHD" cable -> it has extra wires going to JEPWR1 next to the motherboard LVDS connector. See picture below : - "eDP UHD" cable -> it does not has extra wires going to JEPWR1 next to the motherboard LVDS connector. See picture below : Schematic extract showing the wiring of jEPWR1 that brings aux edp signales requires for eDP display. The 4 lanes of eDP are merged on the JLVDS1 connector. TLDR : - If you have the LVDS "not QHD capable" motherboard : you can't upgrade to QHD/4K unless you soldered the following to the missing spot on the motherboard : connector + 2x100nf capacitors. Then you can upgrade your standard LVDS display to eDP with the "LVDS QHD" cable - If you have the LVDS "QHD capable" motherboard, you only need the 'LVDS QHD" cable, however I believe that all the QHD capable LVDS motherboards had a QHD screen out of the factory - If you have the eDP motherboard, you only need the "eDP UHD" cable. I think this one is harder to find than the LVDS QHD cable unfortunately. Hope this clears things up !

Not that I condone reviving threads, just saw you mention the result in another thread and thought it should be shared here for any passerby. @Scourge ended up replacing the motherboard and also confirmed that all the original parts save for the motherboard all functioned as expected. Something on the board had failed, though quite irritating (something I tend to experience with my experiments in the past) I am happy to hear that you were able to get it running again after replacing the motherboard.

I am still using my old WD19DC which is enough for my iGPU only config. We have colleagues with the new SD25TB5, I'll ask if I can test one and check. But, if I don't have any TB5 hardware (displays still HDMI and DP attached) would that help to check your issue on my side?

Sad but true.

Which size?

Much better than mine. I had 2 switches running for a while but the problem seems to come down to heat. My 10G SFP to RJ45 adapters overheat and shutdown. For the moment I have it running 2.5GbE and it seems to be tolerating it but this weekend I plan to take a closer look and see what I can do to increase dissipation. That being said I do appreciate having 2.5GbE but I just recently installed an NVME to 10Gbps Ethernet adapter for my CrossHair VIII so I can take advantage of my server.

the best sweet spot for me its an IPS panel with 144hz.

i have a question about upgrade in GT60/GT70 (are the same), both models uses an internal eDP to LVDS converter (ANX1122), what its the range of display upgrade? about the 3K edition of this models, uses eDP instead of LVDS? i never saw a eDP connector on this motherboards. actually i have the stock FHD TN display.

I had a similar issue with my P870DM-G here: Same behavior. But there was no sign of any damage anywhere on the board or with any of the components. I never got it to boot back to any display screen (internal screen or external HDMI), but I since got a another one off ebay and I tested my defective original laptop's CPU, GPU, RAM and SSD in the working one and all of the components work fine (using them right now in fact). Even tried re-flashing the stock BIOS chip on it with a programmer clip-on, but nothing worked. Something happened on the motherboard, but no idea what or where. I'm just happy I was able to find a replacement on ebay. I really like these Clevos!

Hi! I wanna buy/trade for a Clevo D900F I have a red or black M18X R2 (i7 3940XM) or Clevo X7200 (i7 990X) to offer, if youre interested in those. If not, cash works too. I'd love a brandnew one of course but I'm willing to take a look at one in any condition, so don't be shy to reach out 😄

Hi, I got one in black, perfectly clean (sold my red one unfortunately) I still have use for it, but what would you be willing to pay?

Got second place for 5080 leaderboard... MrFox's 3DMark - Fire Strike Score 68585 marks with GeForce RTX 5080 @ 3187.00/2250 MHz hwbot.org http://www.3dmark.com/proxycon/images/futuremark-fb-mini.jpg I scored 68 585 in Fire Strike AMD EPYC 4585PX, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 x 1, 49152 MB, 64-bit Windows 11} www.3dmark.com

Definite improvement in temps over the AIO for the CPU and (no surprise at all) the memory max temp is a lot less. Not bad for a board with limited VRM headroom. About 1,000 point less and 100W less than the X870E-E Strix and X870E Apex with roughly half as many stages to work with.

No, not necessarily - there was also a model with an FHD EDP panel. To be sure, you need to check what kind of display is installed in the laptop.

Those YouTube videos are mostly garbage claiming more FPS. You aren't generating frames via raster and if you set the multiplier too high you get visual distortions or worse, input lag. When set up correctly with the appropriate hardware it can be really good, I'll test some multi-player fps tonight though as those titles are more sensitive to latency. Having a 6C delta for gaming gives me the warm and fuzzies though The sapphire Pulse, seems to work pretty well. I may be looking to get a block for it so that the radiator and it aren't pulling air from each other. Would also free up the space needed to plug in the thermal sensor too. If I do I may as well just block the cpu too. Truthfully just wanted to play Monster Hunter Wilds @4k120 Next on to do list is figuring how to cool my network switch a bit more. My eth to sfp adapters overheating preventing me from being able to use 10Gbps :( Last night was able to hit 260MB/s on the network. I put an sata ssd in the server and some iso's so I can run a VM to house all of my steam library, future downloads will come from it instead of the internet.

I agree, they let me know my old PSU was indeed failing when I asked and an RMA exchange was authorized and on the way. Didn't expect to open the box and find a Titanium. I only sent the PSU back, so now I have a massive swath of P2 1600w cables. I'll have to check to see if they're compatible with the T6. I know they're compatible with my EVGA P2 850. Sounds about right for EK.... I am genuinely curious to see what the 9950X3D2 can do but the fact they're not really touting it has faster than the 9850X3D is pretty telling. That was a good pick up I saw over there. Hope you had a good Easter brother @Mr. Fox! Love seeing the 12 core monster get slowly unraveled and working on real Z790 boards....hopefully you get over that cold on your YT video sooner than later bro. Probably a bit of fear of voltage issues again if left to run on consumer boards that allow it to overclock and push more voltage. The 13th/14th overvolting issues really did some damage to their name brand and consumer confidence. As @Talon showed, that industry level board he tested the Bartlett on initially was locked down like crazy. They need these P core chips to slot in and run locked in. On the other hand, Intel is boasting that Raptor Lake is alive and well and more boards both DDR4/5 are on the way.... https://videocardz.com/newz/intel-says-raptor-lake-is-not-going-anywhere-hints-at-more-ddr4-ddr5-hybrid-boards Now they need to officially support Bartlett Lake-S on current and future boards and open the floodgates. Depending on where it eventually lands, I wouldn't be adverse to picking one up. A 12 P-Core only chip is just yummy. What a cool rabbit hole you've gone down @Reciever on many fronts from the AC ducting to using a 9070xt for FG support. Which model did you swap the 3090ti for? Nice! All that's left is to block the GPU..... Industrial white with all black is always the slickest look IMHO. ------------------------------------------

as far as i know all non 4K display models are LVDS correct? in that case it would probably be LVDS.

There hasn't been any major news since then. The latest confirmed working upgrade is the HP T2000 MXM. I didn't risk using the 4060 from x-vsion - it runs too hot and has too much power. A 3050 6GB option from X-Vision has recently become available in MXM-A form, but I haven’t ordered it yet, although it will most likely work. As for displays, it depends on the connector on your motherboard - LVDS or EDP?

Hello everyone, i have been eyeing a Dell Precision M4800 on Facebook Marketplace for quite some time, before i pull the trigger i would like to know what is the hardest this machine can be pushed? AFAIK when i last looked into it the best GPU someone managed to put in this was a T2000, has this changed? Besides that if anyone could enlighten me on display options i would be very happy. Thanks!

I know Brother @Clamibot swears by it and it has gotten more traction lately in some YouTube videos. I need to order some new fittings to replace the XSPC fittings I am using on this now. (The outside collars are too tight for this tubing.) But, the little monster is now a custom loop with the IceMan bare die block and the Supercool direct touch memory blocks. When the new fittings arrive I will see if I can figure out a better place for the in-line trash filter.

Well this weekend I installed the Crosshair VIII Dark Hero, AM4. Luckily it had flashback as the firmware did not support the 5800X3D when I got it, one flash later and it POSTed. Though the extra memory modules I purchased were no good, seller is attempting to replace but we'll see on that front. I also traded the 3090Ti for a 9070 XT. I just didnt have a use for it and my server needs dont justify it at all. Also added an NVME to 10Gbps Eth adapter. With the 9070 XT sitting in slot 3 under pcie 4 x8, acting as the Frame Gen mule. I am able to sustain 60 FPS at 4K with Monster Hunter Wilds, with Frame Gen via Lossless Scaling carrying it to 120 "fps". I have to say, this method is quite viable. At 2x Fixed with both GPU's I am using less power than when using the 7900 XTX alone. I'll try out some FPS titles eventually to see if the latency is perceivable. Under Monster Hunter Wilds and GoW: Ragnarok I cant perceive the latency. Ideally I would like to use Adaptive so that if the FPS drops under a threshold the Frame Gen could fill the gap but I could feel the delay on the mouse hand. Under this scenario and the "improved" ducting from the A/C, the GPU was running at 22C, with the Ambient temperature being around 16C from the A/C unit. There is still gaps in the ducting but it would make the system less accessible as well. Pretty happy with the results glad I kept chasing down this experiment. Hate that its needed for certain titles to play well but I do appreciate that its there.

hi, there's a BIOS crisis recovery method that works well on m17x r3 / r4 or m18x r1 / r2. It only requires USB thumbdrive. CH341a also works, but requires disassembly of the laptop.
