    Glad to know the GPU side is very well designed, but.... Ugh, skimping on the PSU side on a $50 cable.... As we move on, unless something changes I can see OCP PSUs being the future across the board as a standard feature on all high tier PSUs. Now we have this to bounce off of @de8auer's incoming break down and analysis of the cable too.... ----------------- Sugi finally went full chiller hybrid setup. I like how the rad / chiller are in their own separate place aka balcony.....

    @Vladka76 seen some apparently genuine 1866 hyperx sticks, never tracked down 2133 ones, not seen one in the wild (yet). Did you OC your 1866 ones to hit 2133?

    Hello, nice to meet you. Have you received your ZRT 4090 card? Actually, I was planning to buy one from Taobao as well, but I canceled the purchase due to moving and other circumstances. It seems that Taobao sometimes sells products with ZRT photos but the actual card inside is an X-Vision. This happens frequently with online shopping. There have even been cases where RTX 5090 cards had their internal components replaced with pebbles.

    Hmm, I'm not entirely sure, but I suspect ENBIK's MXM cards use the same VBIOS as X-vision. The price isn't listed on ENBIK's website, so I'm not sure if I can buy it, but I'll try to purchase it using an import agent.

    Another DDOS @Reciever? Horribly sluggish forum.

    They all can be used but you need to do some EDID override. I'm still waiting for @DynamiteZerganswer on that with the proper ZRT drivers. To see if he's getting the same issue or not

    I remember the day that I believed that people who said Linux was the future were nuts. Little did I know their statements were a prophecy. The only thing nice I can say about Micro$lop is that I am glad it is "not my circus, not my monkey" LOL. Quite the circle jerk the Redmond Reprobates have become. It used to make me feel sad that they have become such a sucky outfit. I can honestly now say that I really don't give a rat's butt and hope that crApple and Micro$lop both end up going drowning in the cesspool they have created and choking to death aspirating their own feces. Both companies are producers of digital rubbish.

    So, does that mean the only RTX card that could potentially be used is the ENBIK?
  14. Tetsu
    That's right. Was the VBIOS for the ZRT RTX4090 the same as X-vision? Does this mean that ZRT cards cannot be used with the P570WM? Unfortunately, we do not have any surplus stock of the P570WM.

    And it continue @Mr. Fox Microsoft need hire new engineers. AI can't fix it. Only stupid think so. Windows 11's April update is now breaking third-party backup apps Windows 11 update KB5083769 is causing software failures with several backup programs. Microsoft hasn't released a fix yet.

    Recently got a M18x R1 off eBay for my daughter but I plan on upgrading to the “max”. From what I understand best cpu is the 2960XM and the best ram would be 32GB(1600mhz) but for the gpu I can’t seem to get an idea on what the best gpu I can put in this is there’s a lot of info here but I can’t exactly find a clear answer as what to get my choices I’m thinking of is a 980m or a rtx 3000 more so leaning the rtx route. Any help is appreciated thank you.

    Which laptop tested with 4080 / 4090 ?

    Hello with a bit of research in this forum, you have this thread which shows what to modify:
  23. ifrit05
    What are all the different upgrade paths for 7710/7720 MXM GPUs and what modifications are needed? I see most cards up to Ada have the same die offset as the stock heatsink but the VRMs and Inductors are different dimensions. A lot of posts say stuff about RTX 3xxx/4xxx but nothing really about how they modified the heatsinks or if needed at all (with the different VRMs/Inductors). Are the X-Vsion GPUs/site reputable/usable? And can MXM-A cards be used on MXM-B heatsinks without much fuss? What are most of you daily driving in your 7710/7720s? Thanks for any info!
  24. JadeRover
    Ok, unfortunately this will only get you so far, usually shorted capacitors/mosfets aren't visible with the naked eye. Darker areas on motherboards can be usual heatspots (around CPU VRM, battery charging circuit, etc). These can be false positives. Nothing stands out from the pictures you gave. Unknown chip is the CPU chipset btw. Ok, that's a bummer, a multimeter is a really usefull tool, even for everyday electronics (making sure wires are connected, etc). I would highy recommend getting one, even 10 dollar/euros multimeters are well worth the price in my opinion. Even with not that much knowledge, you can trace short circuits easily with one and know if your GPU is shorted, CPU vrm shorted, chipser shorted, etc... The next step would be to get the laptop to a repair shop, a good shop should have a motherboard diagonistics fee. Make sure they actually diagnose the motherboard properly, most repair shops just plug it in, say it's dead and recommend a motherboard replacement. You can read reviews/check the websites of repair shops and make sure they actually do real motherboard testing.

    No ZRT VBIOS on these tests. Because the ZRT ones are at 110W max. I don't know how they're able to advertise as a 150W GPU. The performance is worser. @DynamiteZerghas a ZRT 4090 card. I only tested the vbios in a X-Vsion PCB card. I'm waiting for his answer about his ZRT PCB card.

    I want this BAD. How do I get this entire kit in Canada?
  28. Maro97
    4090 with ZRT VBIOS ?

    @zex4, @JadeRover I've removed absolutely all components except the motherboard and tested, no reaction on the plugged charger. I have then completely disassembled the laptop, to investigate the MB in more detail. I noticed a couple of differently coloured spots. Dunno, either it's normal, or it's unnormal, or it's simply caused by the white marshmallow-like cooling pads being stuck to those areas. I've attached the pictures (1: the spot near the power plug, 2: what's on the other side, 3: the other spot, 4, what's on the other side [some unknown chip]). The charger is out of the question, I have both 330W and 230W, and also my friend has an older-gen Clevo. Chargers are alright. I don't have a spare GPU, there's been no need, but anyway, as I removed all components leaving the MB alone, and it still doesn't react to power in any way, GPU is kinda out of the question i guess I don't have a multimeter unfortunately, and nearly zero practical experience in diagnosing micro-electronics

    It's a Quadro RTX 5000, RTX 2080 Max-Q performance. Also someone got the ZRT RTX 4090, it's the same vbios as the X-Vsion one but it's Max-Q. So their datasheet lied about the 150W, the display table orders and the eDP (it's disabled, I tested with regular drivers). Also do you any extra P570WM? 3D or non-3D?
