If I hadn't just bought a M17x with the 3D screen I would have probably taken you up on this.

LOL. Surprised @Mr. Fox🙄 Microsoft disappoints again: the Windows 11 speed test arrives with KB5077241, but it's not an app, it's just a link that takes you to Bing. Microsoft launched Windows 11 in 2021, and it wasn't the success they had hoped for. The operating system was in poor condition, riddled with bugs and problems.

You get what people Microsoft want😀 Microsoft disappoints again: the Windows 11 speed test arrives with KB5077241, but it's not an app, it's just a link that takes you to Bing.

Heyo everyone. I was sent a laptop by a miniPC OEM named GEEKOM for review, and I've published that said review tonight. Here it is in case anyone is interested. I quite liked the unit myself, all things considered. https://www.reddit.com/r/SuggestALaptop/comments/1rfpgqf/d2ultimas_review_of_geekoms_geekbook_x14_pro/ They requested a reddit post for it, so there is where it was published.

Hello. I got the i7 7820HQ Precision 7720 FHD version (same as 7710 but 7th gen core I) and I managed to use an RTX 4070 MXM-A with the backlight mod cable. No problem, drivers are plug and play with nvcleanstall. No ACPI problems, No thermal problems, just needed to modify the heatsink. You need to get a better heatsink for your eDP 7510 because it'll be weak for any RTX 4060/4070. These cards are compatible with 1440p displays and 4k too as long as they are eDP and compatible with your laptop. Yes I run the RTX MXM in discrete mode, on eDP. You can ask cicichen on ebay for a custom one.

ok, just noticed even USB ports doesnt work anymore, so think board is broken, just ordered new one... this means a bit of time for the 7720 and my old imac 12.2(27" mid 2011) want try a 3770 will work in it n putting the GTX 880M in it(3 heatpipe heatsink i have here since yrs)😇

Hey everyone, I just picked up a Dell Precision 7510, upgrading from my Precision M4600 (great machine, but getting harder to work with). Current specs: • Xeon E3-1535M v5 • 32GB DDR4 • Quadro M2200 • Linux Mint primary / Windows 11 secondary I plan to swap in an E3-1575M v5 board. That CPU includes 128MB eDRAM (Crystalwell) and the Intel P580 iGPU. I prefer running Optimus for battery life, so that makes more sense to me than moving to a 1535M v6 board from a 7520 (assuming interchangeability holds). I’ve seen people upgrade these to 1440p 240Hz panels and even RTX-era MXM GPUs. I’m curious about the process and any complications you ran into. Specifically: • How did the MXM GPU behave? • Any POST errors or BIOS limitations? • Does discrete mode work properly? • Do you need an external display for initial setup? Your Windows experience is useful to me as well — I’ll be running Linux primarily, but I want to understand platform limitations. My goal is to modify and upgrade this machine as far as it reasonably goes. I’ll be using it for college and as a mobile gaming system.

Are you using the latest driver? And what about the brightness adjustment, is it stuck to the max or can you adjust it normally?

I found that versions somewhere later than Dec. 2020 seem to break brightness control on my 8570w with M1000M and 8760w with M4000M. In each case I simply took the latest version from https://www.nv-drivers.eu/ for the respective cards listed and brightness control works flawlessly with those versions. I believe they are both on 460.89 (can't check right now to be sure). Never bothered to check what the latest functional one actually is. For the M2200 it would be the same version.

The 16inch is really cheap Vs other countries in Europe however, 1130 euros new, but of course only 16/512. Not even 16/1TB. Edit wrong, that's not the pro. I wouldn't want the non pro anymore. Pro is much more sturdy feeling. (How that translates in real durability is of course not known).

hi, emergency bios recovery does not work well on aw 17r1. Use a ch341a instead and flash the eeprom directly with a clean bios.

I do memtest, OCCT, TM5 and that locks it in for me so I get it. That is standard across the board. DDR5 Ultra testing has really locked in temps being so finicky way more than any other memory I used before though >=8400. I can definitely see water cooling letting memory rip properly. I've never been one to say, "hey it booted and gave me an Aida score.....I'M STABLE BRUH!" 😅 But yeah, for some it has gotten to that point where they will just keep moving the goal posts instead of just saying, "Nice OC bro!" No I don't need to run my CPU, GPU or memory into the ground to make you feel better or less salty about my OC thank you very much....😉

Isnt the screen brightness adjustment (or lack thereof) a downside of the more powerful cards? Just LVDS screen on mine, although still hunting for a DC (or equivalent) screen. There was a chap on here (built ultimate 8770w thread) where he got a equivalent screen and the mythical 40/50pin cable too.

We can only hope. Microslop et. Al are screwing everything up.

Will do, once I put it in a laptop format, so everything is fair and square. I’m estimating 20 to 30*C difference so far. Exact measurements would be next month.

Interesing job ! Any benchmarks pre-mod and after ?

I really would love some better LCD in laptop. My dreamcolor screen at lowest brightness lights up whole room at night 😅 Anybody with DC can confirm same "problem" with minimal brightness ?

Take a look at the pictures to see what the RTX5070Ti desktop looks like in the P870xx. Then you'll know that my solution of using two different graphics cards, MXM and a normal desktop card, won't work!!!! It's either one or the other!!!

LOL stability e-peen, has it really gotten to that?! 😄 i can only speak for myself, especially for RAM tuning, stability is key in all the apps you are personnally using on a regular basis. i have found for my usage profiles 3x runs of anta777 absolut via tm5 ensures 100% stability for all my use cases, including transcoding, gaming and work related stuff 🙂 but then again, im a 24/7 stable settings kinda guy, havent done any bleeding edge benchmark stability runs in ages 😄

Yeah I do not think I have ever made money on a computer part like that. When I eventually get around to selling the 4x16GB RDIMMs for the Xeon I will probably make some good money on those too. I cannot remember if I tried G4 but I doubt it. The sticks do not have any extra fans over them although the Apex was supposed to have some kind of ram fan kit that I never installed. I guess with the GPU removed then case temps are probably much better under load now. What I really want to do is get the RAM tuned in the Hydroc G2 so its sub-80ns but that has been hard as its hit a wall around 84ns regardless of bumping NGU / D2D / Ring. 7200 is the limit when using MsHybrid as the iGPU has glitches above those speeds for some reason. tREFI also has to be at 24k as the memory modules get up to 87C under OCCT combined load stress tests. CL34 works in Windows when adjusted but does not give any noticable improvement in latency when tested. I have not ordered the epic edition but thought about it. I will miss when the midnight pre-patch event ends as its been a good testing ground to jump into for a raid-like load any time of day. I guess there will always be world bosses and I have far too many alts now after running Legion Remix.

Western firms aren't just in China to make things; they are there to sell them. The World's Largest Consumer Market: China is the second-largest retail market and is expected to become the first soon. Then you have the tech CEO's. Many of them have their family background from Asia and surrounding areas. They won't forget their roots. Born in etc US and or educated there doesn't mean much. They can't forget their past. Just look at Jensen Huang.... Fighting for China to get needed chips. And for Germany... They've always been big on technology. They know how to do procurement and deal with Asia.

I flashed numerous P870s from DM up to TM with Dsanke some time back and it was hit or miss. Never hurts to give it a try, but make sure you have a programmer in case it is a miss. You were lucky @Scruffy to have one that worked with the software based flashing, nice.

He does not seem to be into that nonsense. Cherry-picked CPUs, GPUs and RAM seem to be more plentiful in China and neighboring Far East nations and Germany for some reason. The crappier stuff seems to get shipped out to the rest of the world.

He runs a pretty beefy MO-RA setup and bins the snot out of his gear each and every cycle and tunes it up pretty good but I don't remember Sugi being into all the Y-cruncher / OCCT/ Karhu e-peen swinging contests so I'm not sure.... Clearly stable enough to game tho! 🤣 Nice! Got to play around with it for almost a year and a bit of pocket change for more toys. Can't ask for more than that. Did you try G4 just to rule out the CPU and focus on the memory and to a degree MB? I did that just to make sure I could lock down the memory as far as the Strix would let me go and it topped out at 9066 G4 but that is what the Strix is rated, so there's that. That was with Memtest, TM5 and OCCT. I know at first glance those Corsair sticks wouldn't even boot and when I finally got them to boot they were problematic at 8200-8400 till I did what always ends up happening and just meticulously hand tuning them. How were the temps over 8400? That might be entering the land of needing a dedicated RAM cooler or janky 120mm/140mm fan over it to keep temps at bay. Did you order the epic edition of WoW? I usually pick it up so I can get 2-3 days of play before the unwashed masses come rushing in and gunk things up. 1984 was a reflection on humans and control. For some reason, we end up with those in power that want to control everything, take everything and overstay their welcome.... What I notice about the 5080 being the most popular on that chart for Nvidia cards is the absolute DOMINATION of AMD 9070xt (#1) and 9060xt (#2) which is nice to see. If they got a bit more realistic with their prices (which they are, as prices are trending back down), they could dominate even more in that segment.
