Regarding the GPU, it's known that the ZBook 15/17 from G1 to G3 (and definitely the G4 as well) have eDP on DP_C. Therefore, if a graphics card with eDP on DP_D were installed - let's say an RTX 4050, for example - I wouldn't get a display on the internal monitor if the SBIOS were configured in discrete/dedicated graphics mode, correct? But if the option were changed to hybrid graphics, would I be able to use it normally with the video passing through the iGPU? And another question: if the GPU has standard DP on DP_C and I use the backlight cable mod, I would get a display on the internal monitor and could use it in discrete graphics mode, correct? @JadeRover@SuperMG can you guys give me some insight on this please?

He is using the G.SKILL Trident Neo 6000 C26 2*16 1.450V magic sticks. It is unusual to find any others that can do so well, and part of the reason for that is the effort ASUS has put into making them be able to.

I don't blame ya. I'm a 2x24GB+ user now. Sweet spot between 32GB and 64GB of ram and the prices are insane. Priorities first. Scary thing is they're supposed to continue to go up as corporations push for AI centers everywhere to the detriment of the world and citizens as a whole on a local level. I'm trying to see the downsize to the 270k as time rolls on. Yes, X3D in pockets bests it and 13/14th gen pretty handily, but overall? 270k is a price:performance banger across the entire spectrum especially at 4k gaming. I saw this last night. I asked a few questions in PM. Nice fellow. Makes you wonder what his other 9950X3D2 can do......he's on a chiller so you have to figure that in too to some degree. Has a fantastic 1:1 IMC 2200/6600 is super nice Has an above average 2:1 IMC capping out at 8400 Static chiplet testing is.....average. It's an SP118. Then you get samples like Sugi's doing 8800 and 5700+ but everybody has their own levels of "personal use stability." This one *might* have some of that under water and delidded....$980 + S&H + fees = ~$1050. I'm wondering what memory he was running at 2200/6600 with those timings......that's pretty damn good. I'd pick it up for it's IMC primarily at 1:1. That is pure beast mode.

The fact you and the other user reports a manual profile reducing GPU power limits completely solves the issue points to a faulty PSU failing under higher loads or a board level power delivery issue. If you had a wall power meter to see how much is actually pulled, I think you will see your shutdowns are occurring at a certain overall draw level. First thing, and easiest thing to do, is to order a 380w PSU from Amazon with a 30 day return policy and see if that fixes your problem. If it doesn't, at least you can rule out the PSU and move onto a board level power delivery issue somewhere.

That's the problem, isn't it? There isn't really one. Theoretically the Clevo NH57xx series, like the NH57VR with the AM4 5000 series support but soldered 30 series gpu. And also the NH57JNNQ with the LGA 1700 socket and soldered 30 series gpu. Beyond that there's nothing... 😞

I switched out the heatsink on my p775 laptop so I no longer need these. you can find it here https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/117295603313?_skw=p775+tm1g+heatsink&itmmeta=01KXE1FA24JZQ7AQKH6T8G4MFJ&hash=item1b4f5cde71:g:RKYAAeSw4VVqUSKe&itmprp=enc%3AAQALAAAA8GfYFPkwiKCW4ZNSs2u11xA9UrrOJJvfQJLZv8zv%2BaPiNTrHDtf1BoscAGHupPDwzGnbvQX0szVwbwsOjbh0G4haJ1J2KF4i2IovltnojtT%2FWuEQXB%2BTF3wHbdWSFrdpP%2BPPMh996z2AUsVO3rkaRBRlDJoqNSOJ6KLGPJFRVFQP4IjTaVSKT5Q2uwBttPepsbfteTzf3BJcPsXik9sB4d4UzO3vEETqvPnyJjgMuUdwRb16WxcRADKalw84blU3%2FR80HNw%2FQfW43rI8sS73Sn5tffEKZIw6ZX7PI1HFW9Q2g6N0P36P3Yv6iM1shAAang%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR66hvcHrZw

Hi everyone, I'm trying to determine whether this is an issue affecting my specific unit or if other owners of the ASUS ROG Strix G18 G815LW are experiencing the same behavior. System specifications ASUS ROG Strix G18 G815LW-S9076W Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX NVIDIA RTX 5080 Laptop GPU (175 W) 32 GB DDR5 RAM Original ASUS 380 W power adapter Windows 11 24H2 BIOS 338 Latest Intel chipset/ME drivers Latest NVIDIA Game Ready driver Latest Armoury Crate and ASUS updates Problem The laptop performs an instant hard power-off while gaming. There is: no BSOD no application crash no NVIDIA driver reset no WHEA errors no thermal warning Event Viewer only records Kernel-Power Event ID 41 after reboot. The shutdown is identical to pulling the power plug. Games where it happened inZOI Starfield Subnautica 2 Benchmark Space Marine 2 The crashes are completely random and not tied to a specific amount of play time. What I've already tested BIOS updated to 338 Latest NVIDIA driver Latest Windows updates Latest Intel drivers MyASUS hardware diagnostics (no errors) Event Viewer analysis (nothing except Kernel-Power 41) Temperatures appear normal before shutdown. Interesting observation I normally use an Armoury Crate Manual profile with: custom fan curve GPU Core Offset: 0 MHz GPU Memory Offset: +200 MHz CPU PL1: 75 W CPU PL2: 90 W While using this Manual profile I don't remember experiencing any shutdowns. The most recent shutdown happened after an Armoury Crate update. After reboot I noticed Armoury Crate had switched my laptop to Turbo mode, making me suspect the system may have been running Turbo when the shutdown occurred. Another G815LW owner I recently found another owner with the exact same model reporting almost identical symptoms: instant hard power-off no BSOD only Kernel-Power 41 BIOS 338 latest NVIDIA driver original 380 W adapter clean Windows installation normal temperatures, voltages and power readings He can reliably reproduce the shutdown with Hashcat benchmark in Performance mode, while Silent mode passes. He also reports that a Manual profile with reduced GPU power limits completely solves the issue. Interestingly, Prime95 + FurMark together run without problems on his system, suggesting this is not simply a thermal issue. Questions Does anyone else with a G815LW (Core Ultra 9 275HX + RTX 5080) experience similar hard shutdowns? Have you noticed any difference between Silent, Performance, Turbo and Manual profiles? Has anyone identified whether this is related to GPU boost clocks, Dynamic Boost, power delivery or firmware? Has ASUS acknowledged this issue or provided any engineering feedback? Any additional data or experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

@tps3443 did you see this? https://www.overclock.net/posts/29599251/

In 2000 i think went to a summer 2 day festival at Zambujeira d Mar in my country and they were one of the best live acts There were more famous bands but the live energy from them was whole. It just flowed.

It is impressive how close to the same performance the 270K Plus delivers compared with the 9950X with 25% fewer threads to handle the workload. The 270K Plus is actually just a tad better, and it's half the cost. Not to even mention the fact that the 270K Plus is much easier to tune and runs circles around AMD's best where memory overclocking is concerned. 💖

UPDATE #1: The screen was actually working perfectly. I sold it to a friend for pretty much half of what the entire laptop cost me. I also started researching and buying the necessary parts for this project, the first item being a brand new ZBook 15 G4 motherboard with a Xeon E3-1505M v6 (CPW50 LA-E161P 921049-601). Again, I'll be buying most of the parts from China, on sites like Taobao and Xianyu. It was a bit tricky to test the motherboard because I was too lazy to completely disassemble the laptop, and on top of that, I didn't have an AC adapter with the right plug for the ZBook. So, I had to use a 7.4mmx5.0mm to 4.5mmx3.0mm adapter that I got from AliExpress with an HP OMEN AC adapter, but in the end, everything worked out fine. Side note: the screen used for testing was taken from a ZBook 15 G2 that I also acquired. I'll make a separate topic for it in the future. The motherboard is working perfectly and apparently had never been turned on before, according to the "Machine is not in committed state!" message displayed during boot. I still need to do more research on this and how to "fix it", so if anyone knows how and can help me out, I'd appreciate it. During testing, I also took the opportunity to install and test the NVIDIA Quadro K1100M that came in the ZBook 15 G2 I mentioned earlier. The driver installation apparently went fine, but it threw a Code 43 error in Device Manager. I'm not sure if the card itself is faulty or if I messed up the driver modding, since it had been a while since I last used NVCleanstall. Also, during boot, a "cooling fan error" message popped up, and I noticed that the fan behavior was a bit weird, with them revving up and slowing down repeatedly.

Did anyone try the Quadro 5000 yet on m18x r2? I am looking into this upgrade. I currently run two 980 mxm in sli and I am looking to upgrade to gtx 1070. Really great that one of you seems to have upped to rtx 3080. Any info on the 3080 upgrade would be appreciated. Used to be at tech inferno and did the a11 unlocked bios a while back. Any info on above would be appreciated. Thanks

Yes, you need to do the EDID override, you'll lose the DP port on your laptop (DP_B) I don't know if you read the threads or not. But the ZRT VBIOS is like the Max-Q of X-VSION ones. They have the same DCB. So no need to get the zrt one if they don't answer. However I have a RTX 4080 MXM for sale.

absolutely, planning to keep all 5 replacement cables for now. i managed to correct the current imbalance by reseating the original cable i had been using since the 4090. now the current is super even and good timing too! just finished playing black myth wukong and started with resident evil requiem: that game uses the full 800W envelope, absolutely insane! first time ive seen a game push the 5090 that high, also for temps: while im usually around low to mid 60 on avg temp, im now reaching high 60s to low 70s 😅 i think its time to have a look at the hotspot temps via the mods u linked above... yeah really a shame about the match vs. england, was the first world cup match i actually watched this time around 😄 youd think with all that new fancy tech, sensors inside the ball, VAR, etc. the game would be and feel more fair but somehow the opposite is true... 6C in mid july?! wth...i remember my time in trondheim in summer, me fully covered like an inuit while the natives were jumping around half naked at like 12C 😂

I received some additional materials along with the RTX 4090 datasheet. I am sharing that information here, though I am not sure if it will be useful.MxM 3.1_バージョン3.1_Rev.1.0_20120301.pdfMxM 3.1_バージョン3.1_Rev.1.0_20120301.pdf 设计建议-MXM.pdf mxm.pdf

I’m wanting to try another memory kit. But, I want more ram. I’m not exactly content with 2x16GB. I’m wanting 2x24GB or 2x32GB preferably. Maybe even 2x48 but prices are INSANE!!! lol. The Gskill 2x32GB or 2x24GB 6000c26 kit looks great to me. I’m more inclined to go with the 2x32 6000c26 Dual rank kit for PEAK performance. I’m probably going to sell my Xeon system here soon and help fund the next ram kit. I had to buy new tires for my tow vehicle which was an unplanned expense. So unfortunately new ram right now isn’t in the budget. But very very soon! 😃 I’d like to play with some high bin Dual Ranks on Ryzen dual X3D 🎊

I haven't even managed to buy an RTX 4090 from ZRT yet, and now X-vision has gone and released an RTX 5000 series MXM card 😢 Do the RTX 4090 cards from ZRT and X-vision fail to work due to VBIOS issues?

Hello. No, I haven't flashed it yet either. If you flash "P570WM37.PM5" onto a 3D-capable model, I believe brightness adjustment stops working. It seems likely that this BIOS is a modified version of the one intended for LVDS displays. Also, if I do decide to flash it, I’d like to get hold of 16GB DDR3 modules before giving it a try.

Wow, down to just under 60% now. Wonder why it is still so high? Micro$lop deserves to lose another 25-30% market share, but that might not even be enough loss for those idiots to pull their head out.

Please, Save a few for spare. Not only the one you binned. You'll need it. They will fail one after one with time. Another RTX 5090 power connector melted, and even ASRock TempGuard failed to save this one I guess I assumed 5080s are mostly immune... Btw... "The devil is in the details". Disgusting move from Nvidia. They did it on purpose. They did it to stop RMA costs. A helping hand to the AIB partners. Good temperatures doesn't mean a shit when you don't know the real temperature. NVIDIA RTX 50 hotspot sensor is still accessible through internal MODS diagnostic tool The tested Gigabyte GeForce RTX 5070 Ti reported an average GPU temperature of around 67°C to 68°C, while MODS showed the hotspot rising above 100°C. “Someone sees 68°C in Windows and thinks the graphics card is running cool, but the hotspot is already reaching 104°C,” the technicians explained.... We believe NVIDIA should reconsider removing the Hot Spot reading from Windows. If users rely only on the average GPU temperature, they may fail to detect cooling problems in time, which could contribute to premature GPU failures over the coming years. — Sidnelson to VideoCardz.com Thanks. Sadly We failed against England today. Very close, but no cigar😶 Norway believes the ball hit the wire: –⁠ No evidence, says Fifa Jup, the game should be stopped. And the ball should be dropped. And hence the goal should be annulled. https://www.tv2.no/video/sport/se-video-her-treffer-ballen-vaieren/20351319 Mid full summer... Barely 6C in mid July. Can't beat the Norwegain summer. At least it don't rain today. From my Netatmo. Green winters is real. But the temperatures start creeping upwards the next coming days. That is something. Then it goes fast back to the normal again (sub 10 and rain). Jup, the weather here up in the cold and rainy north can be even worse...☹️ The heat waves in Europe: – Could put Norway in the firing line for torrential rain – Increases the risk of torrential rain If Norway is not included in the blocking high pressure, the moist and warm air currents are forced north instead of entering overland in countries like England and France. – Then they hit Norway with full force. The weather systems pull in towards our mountains, and that can trigger very heavy rain and torrential rain, says Hygen, confirming that the heat waves in Europe can thus place Norway directly in the firing line for extreme weather.

That song did seem to be very popular when I was in UK for Y2K bug. I liked it (but I also love Tarantino movies)
