I am using driver 426.5 the brightness control works even with the shortcut keys fn+f9,fn+f10

the RTX cards don't work in PEG in LVDS and not even in eDP on the M17X because of the MUX switches... Your RTX 3000 was a HP variant? They work very well on motherboard that supports both LVDS (Optimus) and eDP for some reasons. But outside HP Turing, I know that some other brands such as Aetina, PNY, ADLINK cards are having issues with LVDS based systems.

Hello everyone, I just registered and I hope I'm posting in the right section. I'm having an issue with my notebook and I'm hoping someone more experienced can point me in the right direction. The Problem: When I press the power button, the notebook turns on. The fans start spinning slowly for a few seconds, then suddenly ramp up to maximum speed and keep running at full throttle. The screen stays black (no image, not even the boot logo) and it never reaches the BIOS. I've also noticed that both the CPU and the RTX GPU remain cold, as if they aren't receiving power or the system isn't actually starting the Power-On Self-Test (POST). It gives the impression that the system "starts" but gets stuck immediately after. System Details: · Model: Clevo P775TM1-G (or P775TM1) · Serial Number (S/N): 1 TP775TM9440274 TPM · Part Number (P/N): 6-77-P775TM1A-NO2#20 · Processor: Intel Core i9 (9900K) · RAM: 64 GB · Graphics Card: NVIDIA RTX 2060 · MAC Address: 80FA5B765D7D What I've already considered: From the research I've done, I've seen that these chassis often require updated or modified BIOS versions (like the "dsanke mods" mentioned on some forums) to ensure full compatibility with i9 CPUs and RTX graphics cards. I've read that without proper BIOS support, the motherboard might not correctly recognize the hardware, leading to symptoms similar to mine (fans at max speed and black screen). My Request: Does anyone have a valid link for the BIOS (and maybe also the EC firmware) for this model? Possibly an unlocked or modified version that supports the i9-9900K and RTX 2060? Unfortunately, many links I've found in old discussions are dead. If anyone has experienced the same problem and solved it, any guidance on how to proceed (flashing procedure, stable version, etc.) would be incredibly valuable. I know that flashing is a delicate operation, but at the moment the notebook is unusable, and I need to try this path. Thank you very much in advance for any help!

I have checked all of my video options in the A15 unlocked bios regarding muxless fixed and full dynamic, full dgp fixed and full dynamic, none of the options allow in full screen mode to achieve above 60 FPS, before I had installed the Rtx 5000, the Rtx 3000 was ok in full screen under test achieving around 90 - 100 FPS, I can only seem to achieve this now running graphics tests on widowed mode, sadly I don't have another laptop to test this on, my bios is currently set too SG mode full and fixed dgpu dynamic power, I will try and get some photos of my bios set up. When testing the GPU I noticed the core MHz fluctuates between 1400mhz to 1550mhz rapidly, I've now set the target in poweshell to 1250 MHz and is still stable no crash. I will try and ramp it up till it crashes again. Forgot to mention when it crashed on hw info it showed a error on power limitation under the GPU - 60% where it had greyed out. Thanks for some input SuperMg

I have two versions. One drives the Acer fans, the other drives the ZBook fans. Both are wired the same - Juice, Ground and PWM come from the same source, while Tach is only linked to one fan and everything is fine. For the ZBook fans (5V) everything comes from the stock connector and it’s been like that for quite some time with no issues. Acer fans (12V) require some extra circuitry since there’s no direct 12V output. BTW they (Acer’s fans) consume about 15W alone at full tilt. EDIT: Here’s the wiring of the ZBook fans: https://imgur.com/gallery/8L0QhNk

Cool will reach out to you via PM. has anyone found any links/suppliers for the cable to allow the Dreamcolour IPS screens to work with the mobo? I know guitarg was working on one.

Nice work. Doing similar fan work on my 8570w. How does the mod see both fans? I see some (pavilion units) just split the fan feed on all wires and it seems fine.

I would say I'm taking it step by step! Right now, I'm developing the cables with Flex-PCB!

I have a complete set of screws for the X170 series (I bought it from the manufacturer)

My system specs : Ryzen 9 9955HX 32GB DDR5-5600 Kingston Fury Geforce RTX 5070Ti 2560x1600 - 300Hz - 500Nits IPS display 2x2TB Samsung 970 Evo Plus 330W power adapter Impressions : Positive Excellent build quality. Coming from a daily user of Dell Precision laptop (7550 at home and 7680 at work), the chassis feels very sturdy and even more "premium" than these workstation : All aluminium chassis, no flex on keyboard deck, no flex on the screen. Even compared to some recent gaming laptop i test (Lenovo Legion 7i for example) i find the XMG more polished (no pun intended). The display (eventhough i chose the IPS version) is miles away from the one i'm used to on the Dell lineup (FHD IPS) or even my desktop one (AOC 27 G2 - FHD IPS 144Hz). The brightness is way better, the color accuracy is excellent with pre-install color profiles, and i did not expect a high refresh (300Hz in dGPU only mode, 240Hz in optimus mode) rate panel to be this good even when not gaming. The performance uplift from my previous Dell Precision 7550 is, as expected, huge with almost double the performance. The most striking thing to me is the cooling solution and associated thermal performance. While playing Metro exodus, in optimus mode, at native resolution, all settings in ultra, i can pull 140W on the GPU and up to 90W on the CPU and yet, the remperature stays below 80°C with the fan at around 60%. Comparing this to my Dell Precision 7550 in wich i had to cripple my CPU when gaming to obtain the same thermal (i7-10850h limited to 2,7GHz still at 75°C) i am genuinely impressed. 3x USB type A, 2 on the right side, one on the left side. This allow me to connect my wireless mouse, my cooling pad and my external drive for backup. That's a huge plus from my previous laptop. The keyboard layout is great with a better typing experience than on my Dell Precisions and no useless copilot key. The 330W power brick is smaller and ligher than the 240W one used in the Dell Precision and older Alienware system. The control center is so far stable and responsive, while allowing me to modify anything i deem necessary (fan table, power limits, ligthing, battery mode, etc...) The bios allow for CPU undervolting via PBO curve optimizer, ram tweaking with frequency and timing control. This reminds the good old day of the Alienware M17x R4! Sound quality is good and better than expected. Fan noise is really less annoying than on my Dell Precision. I did a test and force full blast fan on the XMG and the Dell Precision 7680 side by side, and the XMG fan noise does not have the same high pitch annoying sound. Negative The motherboard modular design gave me some trouble when intalling my SSDs. The daughterboard where mounted a bit close to the motherbaord and i had to unscrew all the left daughterboard to regain the millimeter needed to install my SSD. Issues with my bluetooth earbuds (JBL Wave Flex). Some time i have lags in the sound and it take few seconds to come back. I tried multiple drivers and couldn't resolve the issue. More annoying than really a problem since i can also plug my headphone in the 3.5mm jack. Here is a TimeSpy benchmark (stock CPU, +350MHz GPU core, +350MHz GPU memory, optimus mode on, Overboost mode) : Timespy

bcs im waiting for my replacement mainboard for the M6800 i started to shop some stuff for the 7720 to make it comparable to actual notebooks(except the number of threads the CPU can work with 😄) Service Tag: C9GP6H2 so u can see original configuration. Original Configuration --> planed - ordered - already done/delivered: Intel i7-7820HQ --> Intel Xeon E3-1575M v5 2x 8GB DDR4 2400 CL17 --> 2x 16GB Kingston HyperX DDR4 2666 CL15 nVidia Quadro P3000 6GB --> nVidia Quadro P5200 16GB 1x 512GB Toshiba XG3 NVMe --> 1x 512GB Samsung 860 Pro NVMe + 1x 1TB WD SN730 NVMe WIFI AC --> WIFI 6E DVD Drive --> UHD BD Drive Windows 10 Pro --> Windows 11 Pro upgrades for later: 1080p Screen --> 4K Screen nVidia Quadro P5200 --> RTX 5000 / 3080 / 4080 Stock Heatsink --> Cicichen RTX Heatsink

im happy when he only put a RTX heatsink on the original heatpipes from the 7720, 120W n still far away(always below 60°c.) from throttling, but the CPU part isnt the best, but its ok bcs still below 80°c. at full load

Hello. I think your GPU is faulty, faulty IC? Faulty coils? To confirm that further, please try this GPU on another laptop, like a dell Precision m6700 (I have one for cheap) or the Precision 7710 and see if the results are the same as the R4 laptop. I could do 115W on the M18X R2 with an RTX 3080 no problem, the limit to performance was the Intel Optimus and the old MUX Switch... Was stuck at 60fps on some benchmarks...

About 12-13A per pin.

Same can be said about MSI. What are MSI affraid of? Nvidia? Or to try to prevent increased RMA requests? MSI is actively taking down leaked 2500W Extreme OC BIOS files for GeForce RTX 5090 Lightning MSI reportedly asked for the removal of a leaked 2500 W “XOC” BIOS file for the GeForce RTX 5090 Lightning Z, and the file no longer appears in TechPowerUp’s BIOS collection. That said, MSI taking down these BIOSes is unusual, because almost every XOC BIOS that I can think of has eventually been leaked, and no one has had an issue with it. So far, MSI has not published a public statement detailing its takedown requests. Same can be said about Asus. The FE clone from Asus will probably cost nearer $4000 Spot on. All to much trash being made nowadays. And not only hardware/electronics. Consumer rights are highly valued here in Norway, so.... Etc 5 years free warranty is the norm for goods meant to last more than two years. Yet, Dell try to push consumers to buy their overpriced premium warranty. Greedy stupids. Complaint Deadline (Reklamasjon): Generally 2 years, but extends to 5 years for products intended to last significantly longer, such as furniture, electronic devices, and household appliances.

Another reason why I want to live part time in Norway @Papusan besides the Snow and Cold. When a government agency can produce an entertaining video that also points out a serious consumer issue, you got to give it to them. "The memories may be yours, but the photos are mine" WOW. The Norwegian gov took shots at all companies.

I seemed to have successfully used power shell Nvidia command to reduce the core MHz on the GPU down to 1000 MHz from 1500 -1600mhz, this in turn has lowered the power usage managed around 6 games on war thunder on max settings dx 12, i did try the command to set a max wattage of 90 or 100 but the power shell sent back a answer stating it could not change the power. At least to some degree the card is usable not ideal at least untill I can work out where this shunt mod is actually placed.

EVGA always made sure their top tier chips hit certain boost goals and would hand number their chips and clocks for verification. The 3090ti, like the 3090, came in different classifications with different certified boost clocks certified. Anything more than that was up to the silicon lottery. I loved how the EVGA KPE 3090ti was built along with the FTW 3090ti Ultra which I had picked up May 2022 and returned to Amazon because it was $2199 on launch and not worth it in any way, shape or form but it was a beautifully built card and solid as a tank and ran very cool. Crazy so see even 3090/3090ti prices are some crazy upswings. Bodes well for 4090 owners and 5090 owners for resell value even more but sheesh. lol, what were the pin out readings on the WVP2 when it was >1500w?

Yes that's the cheapest price you can find. I hope he adds some extra heatpipes

will cost 100 bucks.

Quake II RTX - silky smooth on Linux at 5120x2160. Had to lower my power limit with LACT to 500W because the shunted 5090 with the 800W Matrix vBIOS was making the WireView Pro II scream like a stuck pig. My UPS also started squealing because it exceeds its 1500W capacity.

UFS 5 storage will be arriving to Android https://www.gsmarena.com/ufs_50_announced_with_double_the_performance_over_the_previous_generation-news-69827.php

That level of caring died when EVGA left the building. Their competitors never gave a damn, and now there is no reason for them to even pretend they do.

New update, I have since bought a new 330watt power supply, this has not resolved the issue with the adlink Rtx 5000 card, under heavy load it must be power spiking and shutting itself down, card reaches around 68c using duronaut paste and a full copper cooler. Other options I currently have is to see if I can manually set a lower power target through shell commands or see if I can fit a shunt mod just not sure what I'm looking at as the information on this is sketchy at best and don't want to fry the card. Any help would be great.
