Any difference at 1600p Ultra? Have you tested the 265K with WoW to see if the same holds true? Is this bottleneck usually observable if neither the CPU or GPU are thermal throttling but also not at maxed utilization (or no P-cores at max turbo clocks)? I have seen that happen often on the Legion 9i G10 with memory capped at 5200 CL38.

It took awhile, but I'm back. The E-Port Plus with the blue USB ports came in, and after a number of updates, including Windows and the Dell Display and Peripheral Manager, Display Settings finally shows that I'm at 3840 x 2160 @ 59.997 Hz, which allows it to work with my Precision 7290 and KVM.

I decided to purchase Zbook Fury 15 G7 I7-10850H 32gb ram ddr4 1TB Nvme t2000 max-q 15.6 IPS 400nit 72% NTSC 420€

Hey @GuitarG can you share the pinout for the JST lead? or which pins you picked up +5v & gnd in the machine? I was thinking using USB port to feed (probably a bad idea) I now have a JST GH Extender and another JST GH splitter and a "spare" 8570W heatsink to graft onto my 8770 "MXM-B" plate and sit secondary fan in DVD bay. One thing ive been looking for is the Tach and speed pinout for the Sunon fans we have in HP kit, Datasheets seem to be difficult to find even when i have the part number. Finally got a response back from HP re: CPU fan header, they confirmed my theory and advise not running dual fans of that jst cpu socket, only fan control and tach, but run the 5v feed elsewhere (assume USB +ve rail or DVD pin) so only two pins go to header. Can anyone share what DVD pin I pickup from or where it should be soldered to?

Here’s what the listing photo looked like and the dude was asking 280+40 for shipping. I lowballed and gave him an offer for 100$ and I was actually surprised that he accepted it.

Hi yall, long time no see, I managed to snag a 7550 lately for 100$. No ssd no ram, keyboard ripped out, however i already had the ram and a SSD, so the only thing i had to replace was thankfully the busted keyboard. its an i9 configuration with the T2000 and the dci-P3 calibrated 1080p display which looks amazing. however since before I originally got it I’ve been rolling around the idea of upgrading it to the max spec GPU an RTX 5000 16GB. However between the 7750 and 7550 there’s two different sku’s for each, a 80(90)Watt “MaxQ” version that’s ment for the 7550, and a 110watt version ment for the 7750. I just so happened to snag a cheap rtx 5000 on Friday and it’s the 7750 110W version. Based on overlaying images at various opacities it looks like I may need to trim a little bit of the palm rest in order to add extra cooling to the mosfets since it’s so much longer than a typical card they wouldn’t be in contact with the heatsink. if anyone has done this kind of swap before precision 17” GPU -> 15(16”) please let me know if there’s any other potential incompatibilities I should be aware of like bios locks. But as far as I know the 7550 version (maxQ) also works in the 7750 and they both share the same bios there’s no reason as to why it wouldn’t recognize and boot with the 17” card. also to add I’m switching from the “P” heatsink over to the “E” style heat sink since said heatsink has a much bigger cutout(?) for the larger die of the rtx4000+ gpu’s. attached are some photos of the wonderful thing.

Damn straight

yeah, not understand me wrong, i still use my 8570P with 3840HQ for photoshop n sometimes sm0l video editing so i know why saying "its slow" 😄 n thx, lets make this old machine to a AI PC 😄

Well the CPU had enough cores/threads when it came out and I don't see that things have changed that much with regards to video editing requirements. Unless maybe people insist on editing 4K/8K video. And yes there has been tests done on Windows 10 with an mPCIe form factor Google Coral TPU in the 1/2PP (MC) slot, and an M.2 form factor one with an adapter in the ExpressCard/54 slot. See the newer comments at the post below: https://www.dell.com/community/en/conversations/precision-mobile-workstations/dell-precision-m6800-slot-motherboard-12mc-pp/647f7f3ff4ccf8a8dedb7309

sure is nice to see whats possible, but the CPU is pain in the a.... for video/photo editing bcs not enough threads, for gaming still an option, bcs most games not use more then 8 threads(some does n u will see at the min fps, but for mobile still ok). n maybe u should try 1333MHz mem, maybe the IMC will run with 64GB then. btw. someone tried a NPU in the m6800 yet? seen some modules with mPCIe standard, n some xtra TOPs can be useful in some cases.

Whether there's a need for it or not is kind of irrelevant, as most of the mods here aren't exactly necessary. I thought it was all about just seeing what was possible? And 16GB is not enough for a lot of people who run mobile workstations, heck the M6800 is literally meant for photo and video editing as part of its reason for even existing.

Lately came across 2 Thinkpads at interesting prices, both landed on my table. Nice to have something new to look at, and re-awake my humble skills in os installation \ setup \ tweaking etc, long time not done anything in that dept. Set to replace 2 ageing (10+ years) win 8.1 laptops. E14 gen5, Ryzen 3, 300 nits\45%, 16\250 GB, w11 pro. No power champion but very capable for all light tasks, browsing, streaming, music etc. SH but never used, only 200 usd. P14s gen5, Ryzen 7, 400 nits\100%, 16\1 TB, key light, fingerprint, w10 iot ltsc. Nice machinery for 1000 usd (nearly 50% off, Lenovo webshop). Both: cool & silent (normal \ light use), excellent keyboard, build quality feels good, lightweight, great battery times, fast charging.

I don't have the laptop yet. Still thinking about g6 with 9880h vs G7 10850. G7 is locked for under bolting for sure. If it's still doable with G6 I will swing to G6, but if not I will take G7.

nah n no need for, 16GB is more then enough for everything except vid/photo editing... even when u put a RTX5000 in it n a 4k display n playing maxed out + RT in games, never 16GB will be the limiting part in it(but the CPU will be). more important is mem speed n timing, 1866 should be the minimum, 2133 the optimum... atm i searching for 2133 modules n will give thaiphoon burner a try to set 2400MHz...

best of both worlds late 70's and upto now.

I don't think I've ever seen anyone talk much about RAM upgrades for the M6800. There was a guy on YouTube who said that he was able to upgrade to 64GB with the only requirements being an i7 processor and the latest BIOS update. As you know the official max is 32GB. However, I bought a 64GB kit of RAM that was the exact same specs as my 32GB, just double in capacity, and it just threw up RAM errors. I tried every stick in every slot combination. Has anyone else tried 64GB? It makes sense that it could be possible as many E-series Latitudes of that era have been confirmed by multiple YouTubers to be able to take double the officially stated maximum, with for example, 8GB limits actually taking 16GB.

Hi, I can assist you if you need, the usb method is the only way I think.

Interesting, ok well the programmer has arrived now. I might try and flash it with the clevo bios and see. Nothing to loose really. If I don't get any success then I'll go the shop. I'll be happy if it is the cpu and not the board or gpu which from my searching the Internet so far are nearly impossible to find.

It's 99% problem of CPU or GPU. My reseller told me in most cases is CPU.

You can also attempt this to get unlimited multpliers, requires bios mod to inject the microcode however, not sure if it's been done on m6800 https://www.techinferno.com/index.php?/topic/9636-tutorial-4ghz-overclock-i7-4xxxmqh-to-i7-extreme-conversion-intel-haswell-cpu-microcode-bug-hack/

Yeah so thats more or less identical to mine. Hmmm.... this is frustrating because before seeing your post I was thinking I might need to reflash the bios... but now I'm not so sure. I've just bought a programmer that arrives in the next couple of hours. I might try it anyway and if that fails, take it to the shop to diagnose since I have no way of testing the board, gpu or cpu.

I thought so too initially but having removed it and other components one by one, and from what reading I've done the behaviour should have changed...but it hasn't. I'm thinking its the board now.

Use a tool like CPU-Z to check the RAM specs for the modules that you already have installed. In addition to the speed, you want to match on the CAS latency. But it should be fine to mix manufacturers.

Hello @1610ftw, Did u manage to do the downgrade? I am interested in this topic too

Hi all, having power delivery issues I think, running on max settings for example on dead by daylight 2 with ray tracing enabled I should be getting around 55 FPS, shortly after the drivers crash then causing the GPU to show 0C in hw info. I will look to downclock and reduce the millivolts but MSI afterburner is a bastard to get the controls unlocked. Does anyone have any knowledge to shed on this ? Didn't have as much problems with the Rtx 3000. The heatsink from memory is the one that was on the 660M, I can see the difference between that and a photo of the 100 watt rated version, I have considered ordering a full copper heat sink maybe that would reduce the heat or potentially getting a LLyano V12 laptop cooler, I have just changed drivers to the enterprise drivers and will test. Haven't tried with the edp and 2k panel el yet untill I know the card works ok, don't want to start a new head ache just yet 🤣
