It looks complicated. If you can get the original modder to make an easy english tutorial like my backlight mod cables instructions. Also, why does the Xeon E5-1680 v2 can't be overclocked? I am stuck at 3.8GHz all core and 3.9GHz in single core. It's an unlocked 8 cores CPU. I want to do 4.2GHz one core and 4.1GHz all core. I don't have any thermal throttle. The CPU does max 130W while I set the limits way higher.

Clevo P570WM MXM upgradability forum
segfault-bilibili2 replied to SuperMG's topic in Components & Upgrades
P570WM337.PM5 should be the prema mod for P570WM3, the 3D vision model I think? @Tetsu I can find official BIOS (not prema mod) for both the non-3D-Vision and 3D-Vision model here: https://repo.palkeo.com/clevo-mirror/P570WM/ -

The previous post made by yourself mentioned that P570WM and P570WM3 have different BIOS file names. If you got the file specifically for P570WM3, you must replace IvtQpiandMrcInit module with MMTool. UEFITool might seem to work but according to my experience it failed to boot. -

By the way, BufferMod does not seem to be happy to share the PCIe 3.0 BIOS, I don't know why. -

1. should be the same to prema mod bios. btw i heard from other forums that prema himself no longer wants his work to be publicly shared because some vendors take advantage of his work without permission or reward. 2. you will have to boot into dos environment to fix the 1394 GUID. try google "how to boot into dos". As a Chinese I'm aware of MaxDOS toolbox and grub4dos but I don't know whether these tools fit your need. You may also need a tool like UltraISO/WinImage etc to modify the image file to add files into it. 3. yes such bios should support 64GB RAM. 4. you must use normal SO-DIMM 16GB memory sticks without any ECC feature. - Yesterday

I have already seen it. And Vince aready advertising hard for the BTF connector. Probably the next big thing for next gen 2 dim OC board from Asus. I just love proprietary solutions. Hell; yeah what I hate Dell and cApple. There is also a chance Asus will enter the list of shame. -

Probably a long shot but does anyone have a pair of RTX 3090 or 3090Ti they’d be willing to sell for a good price? wanna play around with nvlink 3090s next lol -

Don’t Use V2 use V3 of ssd nvme adapter However, I believe V3.1 has been released, but I’m not sure what the differences are between it and the V3 I currently have.

HP Elitebook 8570W - is it still good ? Hardware modifications
Daedalus replied to GuitarG's topic in Custom Builds
Had a search on TechPowerUp. Found the unit (i think) VGA Bios Collection | TechPowerUp I totally get your concern on the will X work with Y. I had similar concerns when trying to work out the correct Vbios for my 980M. Turned out KBX on here had already tested stuff, long story short, an MSI / Dell Vbios on an Nvidia card works in an HP. It seems the Dell Vbios are more relaxed and allow more compatibility. I also run a dual boot with my current K1000M and soon to be 980M (once i finish messing around with the cooling solution) dont disagree AMD drivers arent more stable, good choice. The lack of GPU traces on the CPU core sucks as we then have no internal GPU (IntelHD) to fall back on if the flashing didnt work. Im not aware of anyone managing to fix this.- 453 replies

The main question is the real bandwidth speed we gonna have using such adapter !!! looking into picture it's not show any info if it a gen 3 or gen 4 M.2 adapter and isn't new in this forum you found @AXA published it in this discussion below as M.2 adapter not a GPU one i don't now if he test it as one !!!!!

HP Elitebook 8570W - is it still good ? Hardware modifications
Daedalus replied to GuitarG's topic in Custom Builds
i have the final .71ver on my machine, looking at the bios release notes on HP.com, it doesnt call out an whitelist being present, that said some had issues (there was alot of chatter on older forums on it). There was a Coreboot bios floating around 8770W only (however 8570 and 8770W share same .71 version, no O/C option in the .71 bios release for CPU or RAM.....which is a shame. I tried (and failed) a GTX 965M upgrade, might have been a duff card. However now working on my 980M upgrade. No issue going from 62205 to a 7260HMW, just plug an play in win10. Wifi speeds improved, still working on getting BT stack operational as only sees Broadcom (onboard ) not showing Intel chipset.- 453 replies

I think at some point there was a whitelist of sorts, but HP removed it in a later BIOS. I had no issues upgrading my GPU and WiFi card.- 453 replies

Thank you for your reply. I have received the BIOS that supports 64GB of RAM. Could you please confirm if the update procedure for this BIOS is the same as that for Prema Mod? Also, could you please explain how to modify the 1394 ID? Will using this BIOS enable support for 64GB of RAM? Additionally, which memory modules should I use?

Daedalus replied to GuitarG's topic in Custom Builds
Welcome to the Forum and Thread, you will find a number of us have arrived at same desire to modify these machines. Are you set in getting the M5100? i ask as there are a fair few MXM "A" cards you could use above the M5100, otherwise you can go further down the rabbit hole and look at MXM "B" upgrades. Take a look at TechPowerUp, there maybe a Vbios image already there for the m5100 that works. Unfortunately its difficult to load a VBios "in machine" as our CPU socket traces dont exist even though the CPU might have IntelHD on the core. You refer to the whitelist, if i recall this is located on the Mobo and not the GPU card, so your looking at whiletlist editing (a completely seperate to a working VBios image). You may have a perfect Vbios solution but if the mobo says no, you'll only get a black screen. The whitelist appears to have not just GPU restrictions, also Network cards too. sorted a 6250 wifi to a 7260 upgrade and had similar fun, Internet says "it shouldnt work" Pah..... This 8570W now runs a 7260HMW card (so stuff can be done within the apparent restrictions) wether it be HP scare tactics or an actual whitelist they deny exists...... That said its not all doom, if you read through the thread a number of GPU's have been proven to work which arent on HP's "list"- 453 replies

No, there's no need to modify the VBIOS. There are resistor straps on the PCB that are used to set the VRAM size after replacing them with higher capacity memory. There are multiple resistor straps on the PCB, and they are used to modify various parameters on some models, such as TDP, graphics output settings, etc. https://www.google.com/search?q=gpu+resistor+strap&sca_esv=0adcf06bd624d4eb&hl=cs&udm=2&biw=1984&bih=988&sxsrf=APpeQntxCWskxgYSVTVhZkl-licBbMTxXA%3A1791440046190&ei=rjTHasikC5Hj7_UPj72GWA&ved=2ahUKEwjIs9uc4qmXAxWR8bsIHY-eAQsQ4dUDegQIBhAN&uact=5&oq=gpu+resistor+strap&gs_lp=Egtnd3Mtd2l6LWltZyISZ3B1IHJlc2lzdG9yIHN0cmFwSOwwUPkcWMEscAN4AJABAJgBxAGgAbIEqgEDMS4zuAEDyAEA-AEBmAIEoAKvAcICBBAAGB7CAgYQABgIGB7CAggQABgIGB4YCsICChAAGAgYBxgeGAqYAwCIBgGSBwMzLjGgB6QBsgcDMC4xuAejAcIHBTAuMy4xyAcIgAgB&sclient=gws-wiz-img

HP Elitebook 8570W - is it still good ? Hardware modifications
gingerswordsmith replied to GuitarG's topic in Custom Builds
Hello everyone, I am planning a GPU upgrade on my HP EliteBook 8570w and am looking for assistance with a custom VBIOS patch to bypass the HP whitelist and ensure proper display initialization. I am upgrading from a working Nvidia Quadro K2000M to a Dell-sourced AMD FirePro M5100. Using a CH341B hardware programmer and NeoProgrammer, I have successfully extracted and verified a clean dump of the card's factory VBIOS (it is confirmed to have SK Hynix VRAM, and the internal string shows BR46584.001.FGL VENUS). I have attached this raw .bin file to this post, as I understand it is usually safer to custom patch the card's original firmware rather than flashing a generic file. Here are my exact host system specifications: Host System: HP EliteBook 8570w System Board ID: 176B HP System BIOS Version: 68IAV Ver. F.43 Boot Mode: Pure UEFI (Native) Internal Display Panel: Standard FHD 8-bit LVDS Panel (LG Philips LP156WF1 - Non-DreamColor) Target OS Setup: Dual-booting Windows 10 and Debian 12 Could someone please help modify my attached original VBIOS with the proper subsystem IDs and ACPI adjustments to work cleanly with my 176B motherboard and standard LVDS display? Thank you so much for your time and expertise! PS. Though I know my way around basic command lines, I am not a computer expert; that's why I'm here asking for help.

Mr. Fox replied to Mr. Fox's topic in Desktop Hardware
Yes, I have purchased those cheap keys before and they always work fine for me. I have to use a script because I only run LTSC/IoT versions of Windoze 10 and Winduhz 11. I find that much better than starting with a bloated Pro version and having to spend a lot of time and effort butchering it to the point of acceptability. I need to install Linux on the Unify X build, but my stash of spare NVMe SSDs of 1TB and 2TB capacity is running low. I snagged a couple of 2TB NVMe on eBay for less than $150 each, but won't receive them until next week. -

I get this way too with wallpapers. The motherboard is the conduit to all and if it is system themed wallpaper, it has to be to that AIB. I am also open to mash ups...like I'm running an Asus MB but with an MSI GPU...that's worthy of a mash up. -

I had to make a new minimalist wallpaper for the Unify X since using my custom ROG wallpaper with an MSI mobo just feels wrong. Feel free to download if you like. 4K and 5K widescreen. MSI 5120x2160 | MSI 3840x2160 | ROG 5120x2160 | ROG 3840x2160
