    I'll put an internal photo with the fans in my mini-review. I use HWiNFO to see a lot of performance data (below is an extract from the long list of values). The PL1 dynamic value changes immediately when I change the fan speed (note that I have not investigated the BIOS settings or installed any other power management tools. What I would like is a slightly lower normal fan speed setting with correspondingly lower power limit but I've not seen any option for fine-tuning fan speed in the advanced BIOS when previously looking at the options.

    For sale some Nvidia Tesla P6 server card from HP HPE. Powerful video card but with some restricts - as with Tesla M6 - will not working any video outputs, like EDP, LVDS, DP, HDMI etc. this card can be used only with intel graphics in optimus mode. but unlike Tesla M6 needs editing register for setup drivers property and manual driver insalling. Working Vbios already flashed. you needs only software editing and of course if needs modify heatsink. Nvidia Tesla P6 16gb GDDR5 MXM 3.0 (similar to Nvidia Quadro P5000, +\- same score in 3dmark) Price - 130$ Location - UKRAINE Shipping - buyer costs + fees and taxex in your country.

    oh didn't even realize, when bought they had 2 in stock, yes i did see the hp variant, has slightly wider card, the card arrived new, would the shunt mod have any impact if i can allow it to use more watts of power ?, it is working if i downclock it slightly it seems the power draw never reaches 80watts which is strange. I may do some digging on different vnios for the card itself

    No I didn't. I only did Clevo and Dell. eDP with newer cards could work in full UEFI but I don't know how to get full UEFI to work, that's why the newer RTX Ampère and Ada don't work. I have a M6700 for sale, with LVDS and eDP 120Hz screen. And the custom RTX heatsink
  8. Vladka76
    This is simply great! It seems that it is better to buy M6700 with LVDS cable and display? Have you ever upgraded our EliteBooks (8560-8570-8670-8770)? 😉
  9. SuperMG
    I got the RTX 4080 in pure-eDP to work on M6800, the only problem is the heatsink for the temps. I don't have any TDP bugs, it's full speed. M6700 can do max RTX 5000 Turing. Everything new won't work on eDP, need to use LVDS for newer cards.... (HDMI out is full performance)
  10. Vladka76
    I guess that the DELL M6700 (with eDP), but not M6800 - is the best one for upgrading video cards? Yes, I've heard that a discrete graphics card without an iGPU (without Optimus) is 15-20% faster. That's comforting — and it motivates to figure out how to help EliteBooks...

    I'm afraid just one cable won't be enough. You're right, a complete DC kit consists of a color depth converter board and two cables: an outgoing eDP cable from the mobo to the converter and a LVDS cable from the converter to the display. I tried searching for the complete kit but couldn't find anything. There are a lot of DC cables, by the way - will be no bidding war here. 😀 I also thought about buying such a cable to start creating my own experimental EDP cable.

    That's totally dishonest. They should take the 15% depreciation off of the current market price or refund 100%. If that user were smart he would provide evidence of the current price and insist that Silicon Power send a replacement kit from that retailer or any other retailer that has it in stock. If they refuse, then take them to small claims court. If the product has a lifetime warranty (which most DRAM does) it would be inappropriate to charge depreciation. If something is guaranteed for life there is no legal basis for depreciation.

    3060 is massively bottlenecked by Intel Optimus and the old mux switch. 3060 has also the weird 40W TDP bug on Haswell based systems that use Intel Optimus. 3060 works great on pure-eDP

    Avoid buy anything from Silicon Power. Greed is god. Silicon Power allegedly deducted 15% from refund after DDR4 memory RMA According to the user, the kit was purchased for $54.97 and Silicon Power’s message listed a refund of $46.72. That difference matches a 15% deduction from the original purchase price. The user also claims the same kit now lists for $140.97, which would make the refund insufficient to buy a...

    Yes, all DELL's similar workstations have iGPU enabled and working - so they can work with newer cards even via LVDS interface (I've read about it, this was not my own experience; I've even heard that MXM 3060 (Ampere!) worked well with LVDS display). But our beloved HP EliteBook's don't have iGPU at all (newer ZBook's already have it)... Yes, I've heard that in DELL's Pascal cards works only with Engineering (early) vBIOS, but Turing cards all works well. Now I can only dream about RTX 3000 (standard MXM 3.0b) working in my 8770w... 😕

    Well maybe it already has the 2026 model fans. You could find out by putting them on a scale or comparing the image to the Korean reviews of the 2026 model. How did you determine the power levels at each fan setting? I still can't find out which setting in bios actually hard locks them and how LG tools mess with it. Mine now stays on same power levels no matter the fan setting. But yeah the 255H Vs the 256/258V is twice the die size so makes sense to give it higher power.

    New Xpac, new central city, same ole performance hit via CPU bottlenecking my 5090 in WoW due to player physics on what is basically still a single threaded engine..... 4k Ultra + RT everything on max. This is before the actual launch. This is early access. When the floodgates open up tomorrow, expect performance to tank even more.... I'm not sure what Blizzard did with the pre-xpac launch patch, but performance suddenly tanked in the previous Xpac in the main city Dornogal and it looks like it will most likely carry over into the new Xpac. RAM memory usage is off the charts now..... ~28GB allocated.... --------------------------------------------------------------------------- MSI Lightning officially listed at my local MC for $5090 https://www.microcenter.com/product/707151/msi-nvidia-geforce-rtx-5090-lightning-z-overclocked-liquid-cooled-32gb-gddr7-pcie-50-graphics-card Or grab yourself an RTX 6000 for $9500..... https://www.microcenter.com/product/694549/pny-nvidia-rtx-pro-6000-blackwell-workstation-edition-dual-fan-96gb-gddr7-pcie-50-graphics-card On a budget?

    Nice find. Most of this forum will have a bidding war lol. Good to see they exist, I was trying to find one for my upgrade. I’d seen an IPS screen too but wasn’t sure if even this cable would work with it. Doesn’t this need an additional DC inverter board too? However as you say @Vladka76 it won’t help us run the newest cards. I think RTX 5000 is the super best we can try with Dc.

    Hello, welcome. Sorry Im not sure from your description. Is the laptop new to you or an old one that suddenly died? What diagnostics have you tried? Clear cmos? Strip the board down. Remove ssd, mxm card, wifi, memory. Try to boot.
  22. SuperMG
    HP and ADLINK aren't the same company. ADLINK doesn't make and provide MXM cards for them. HP is a blue PCB with a different core offset and a different layout for the VRAM. Just search "HP RTX 5000 MXM" on the internet. Yes these are the power resistors, the same I have on my RTX Ada MXM cards. Also why is the 5000 you bought has a black PCB but the one you got is the green PCB with the ADLINK marking? That's sketchy, even though the same is very identical.
  23. SuperMG
    But the Quadro Pascal such as P5000 and P5200 will work on Dreamcolor. I got the RTX 3000 from HP to work with the Dreamcolor in PEG of the M6700 and the P3000 did display in PEG but ACPI error due to the VBIOS.

    Okay good to know, just looking into how long I can get usability out of this machine. I have a 1545m v5 board coming in soon as a replacement, mainly due to the large L4 cache pool, and Iris Pro P580, should help the Optimus pipeline. Trying to prioritize battery life using that. As for the RTX Mxm 3.0/3.1a GPUs what brand in particular are you getting them from? I would assume some 3rd party manufacturers like Adata. And for a 1440p display I see ‘compatable’ 1440p 265hz displays that fit a 40 pin eDP connection, but are there any you guys would recommend? And is there any OLED, QLED, Mini-LED options for display or is standard IPS? Thanks for all awnsers.
  25. Ollie87
    Ok, after doing some more research I believe I have found the shunt resistors marked r005 on the rear side of the board, I will carry on searching to see if these are definitely the ones to check and if so I will look to add extra r005 to each of these, I won't be doing this till I'm definitely sure of what I'm adding to, I will most likely add padding and liquid metal cool the card once this is sorted.

    I recently found something: https://www.ebay.com/itm/145765636591 This cable theoretically (as it seems to me, may be wrong) connects the motherboard and the original display for the DreamColor on 8760w, 8770w - LP173WF3-SLBx ("x" may be 4, 3 or 2). All is perfect (S-IPS, matte, exotic 10-bit color depth), but connection type of this display is 50-pin LVDS. 😀 Moreover, he is relatively old and difficult to find in new condition. The main disadvantage of this option is that installing this display and cable does not improve the laptop's compatibility with fundamentally newer video cards. A much more promising option would be an eDP 30-pin cable (for FHD displays), which respected @GuitarG is working on...

    My 2025 gram 17 Pro (model 17Z90TP-G.AD88A1) won't be going back. It is altogether a much better thermally designed version of the gram 17 than the non-Pro machine which was a disappointment (see my post here) to the extent that I wonder if LG deliberately crippled it in order to encourage people to buy the more expensive version. I also discovered that this model has the 90Whr battery in spite of most specs saying it has a 77Whr battery. The original source of this mininformation is probably this LG global listing which states 77Whr in the summary spec but shows 90Whr in the detailed specs. I will start by providing this table showing the design power limits which programmed into the BIOS (I didn't realise the significance of this information until after I had sent the 17Z90T back so I've only got the power limits for the normal fan setting for that machine). The power limits reflect the designers' estimates of the heat disssipation of a notebook's cooling system for a particular maximum fan speed. However, it seems that some designers have done a better job than others as the 14Z90T out-performs the 17Z90T despite having lower power limits. The difference in the power limits between the 2024 gram Pro (17Z90SP) and the 2025 gram Pro (17Z90TP) is noticeable. The fans look better in the newer model. However, subjectively, I also feel that the newer model is also noisier on the normal and high fan settings although using my phone as a sound meter doesn't reveal a significant difference in sound volume. I think the newer model's fan noise is higher frequency. Where the 17Z90TP really scores, however, is the performance at the low fan setting where overall performance is similar to the 17Z90SP at the normal fan setting and the low fan is barely audible so I'm planning to forego some performance in favour of having a quieter computer. That performance hit depends on what is happening. The difference in the Passmark score is minimal while it's big for the Cinebench 23 multi-core test. Once I've sorted out my test results I'm going to put the details in a separate mini-review thread for the 2025 gram 17 Pro.

    Hi, I just wanted to know, does someone know what thermal pads thickness works best with this heatsink and this GTX1070 MXM I show in these pictures for my Alienware 18 (So the thermal pads make perfect contact with the heatsink and the vrm, vram and the other chips, but not too thick so the gpu doesnt get bent) Thanks!
