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. 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.

now everything arrived, today the last 2 of the 2x 2x4GB kits arrived... time to bring the MXM slot back to life 😄 when will work out, will start the 7720 upgrade thread.... bcs the 2666MHz C15 mem arrived too, n watching a 2933 kit, maybe will take it n give a try, would be fab when it works.

i like ur frankenstein elitebook 😄

Okay guys today i received the ch341A programmer and flashed the quadro m2200m with dell vbios 84.06.76...... and the laptop booted to windows but black screen on laptop and external so i tried the vbios 84.06.75.00.01 and it works perfectly, drivers install normally unlike the k2200m and the external display also works SO IF YOU HAVE AN 8570W WITH LVDS this is the vbios FOR YOU. picture as proof

New winner? Honor MagicPad 4 https://technewscentury.co.uk/2026/02/25/first-look-at-the-honor-magicpad-4-ultra-slim-flagship-tablet/ Things that made me notice it: 12.3" but only 450g weight - My Xiaomi 12.4 is 590g

back in time i flashed my p870km at least 4 times with fpt and had 0 problem 🙂 PS: with programmer he can use the 8 pin clip, or he has to desolder the bios chip ?

Stop flashing with FTP, programmer is the only way to do it.

For the M18x R2 I could remove the plate, because the fan was underneath and kept cool those memory chips. I believe the M17x has the same design. The fan is below the GPU and has a hole to blow through. For the 8 Beeps, there is a custom Bios for the M17x R4 that also unlocks the advanced menu. If you don't want to mess with this, you must set your laptop to full UEFI mode in Bios. First set UEFI boot and then install the GPU. If it boots, just install OS again and custom drivers. If it still gives you 8 Beeps, then probably you have the g-sync model. VBios is not to important. I had success with dell, clevo and HP Vbios and GPU booted just fine.

hi were u able to flash the bios? a dude has a p870 dm2/dm3 and tryed flashing p870dmx.bin bios with fpt , but now he is getting black screen and notebook reboot after 2 mins. what can be the cause ?

Ive only tried this with bios ver A16 (these values could be different on different BIOS versions), but boot into RU.efi, select setup, change the value of 0x24 from 00 to 28, 0x25 from 00 to 28, 0x26 from 00 to 28, and 0x27 from 00 to 28, that would set it to 4Ghz All Core, you should also disable the overclocking locks and stuff too, guide for that here ( https://www.nbrchive.net/forum.notebookreview.com/threads/guide-dell-precision-m6800-m4800-sbios-mod.788481/index.html ). I should note that i was not able to get my i7-4930MX to actually boost past 3.9Ghz, but this guy might have solved that problem ( https://forum.level1techs.com/t/solved-cpu-scaling-governors-dont-work-my-computer-wont-obey-my-command/202241/18 ), I havent tried it yet. I am currently working on a actual BIOS mod to unlock hidden menus, but so far dell has made that impossible due to the way the bios is configured.

However, the standard MXM specification is acceptable, but the Clevo format is not compatible. Only other manufacturers are compatible, but the question then arises as to how compatible the pins are with the motherboard.

I've just pressed the buy button on a returned Gram 17 Pro at Amazon UK which was almost 25% off the current inflated price and slightly below the brand new price of two months ago. There was an even cheaper returned model a few weeks ago but I was away on holiday. I will be checking if this two fan gram 17 can match the performance and quietness of my gram 14 with the same 255H CPU. The single fan gram 17 failed this test and was returned to LG (a slow process but I got my money back).

Harve Presnell - They call the wind Maria I still maintain that the ONLY musical Men are allowed to kinda like is Paint your Wagon : Lee Marvin, Clint Eastwood 1969 film.

Quite right, the fans location prevents MXM 3.1b cards from being able to fit traditionally. I may have to go the MXM to PCIe route or something more extreme if I want to keep using the platform. Finding a decent 1:1 component transplant doesnt seem to exist though :(
