Not just an ugly case, but a piece of garbage. Very expensive piece of crap that is an extremely poor value.

Please check the video I sent. The VRAM has been upgraded from 8 GB to 16 GB.

I’m really happy that your system is stable now and you’re able to use it without any issues.

Here's the review of MSI's flagship chassis. Only $700 USD. Quality equal a $35 cheapo box from China. Expect the same for your Gigabyte 5090. They really like to use their famous red arrow stickers everywhere.

Good point. Yes, that’s correct, but there are many different types of redrivers on the market including versions without the MUX function. Perhaps to simplify the explanation, it’s more practical to use a MUX switch and redriver in a single IC for several reasons, such as cost, simpler design, etc... For example:

This is very interesting. I had never thought of modifying the EDID of the panel to ensure compatibility but this is a good idea. Aren't these used to split a DP+/DP++ signal into DP and HDMi or DP and DP ? On all schematics I have seen, DP redrivers are never used for eDP connections, only mux switches between CPU eDP and GPU eDP. A good test would be to flash the EDID of the internal LCD with a standard DP display instead of eDP. I had done such a modification to the EDID of my Dream Color display inside my M6700 to enable 10 bit color depth, without this mod, the display couldn't be set to 10 bit color depth.

Yes, that's right. DisplayPort + pins for controlling the LCD display = eDP (Embedded DisplayPort) The problem is that most older eDP LCD displays (with internal EDID EEPROM memory inside the LCD) only work with (standard or normal) DP. But newer GPU cards, which of course no longer have the settings for connecting to the primary internal display LCD (eDP settings) configured in the VBIOS automatically support newer generations of DP (usually DP++). So due to communication via AUX lines (similar to I2C serial communication) between the LCD and the graphics card, which is part of every DP connection a “black screen” issue occurs after installing the drivers. Newer-generation LCDs (with internal EDID EEPROM memory) (VESA v1.4a) should support DP++, however the laptop manufacturers usually prefer to play it safe and insert a so-called: DP-redriver between the LCD and eDP lines, which can usually be configured using resistors to ensure a wide range of compatibility. However, there is another option. Since LCD displays typically use standard i2c eeprom memory to store EDID data, which as I mentioned communicates via AUX (I²C) bus with the GPU this offers the possibility to experiment directly with the EDID itself (for example by changing its parameters). Various versions of EDID editors are available online some even include a function to generate a new EDID data (which generates new EEPROM content after entering the input parameters). For the purpose of determining these input parameters tools such as the DTD Calculator are useful it is also often included in some of the more sophisticated editors. or There is also the option to experiment using so-called “DisplayPort dongle emulators,” which contain nothing more than the previously mentioned standard 24CXX-type serial EEPROM with modified contents. I’m just trying to point out a possible way to try to rescue one of the disabled (unusable) DP_x GPU outputs. Yes, a long time ago I worked with electronics in cars for example: EDC and Me engine control units including even the very old (non-flashable) ones and many other components used in cars, so I have experience with SMD and even hybrid components sealed in gel that were used in VP fuel injection pumps. But that was really a long time ago. I gained a bit more experience with motherboards during the project to convert my AW M18x R2 from an LVDS to an eDP system. I’ve made a lot of mistakes during my experiments and damaged the motherboard many times and I’ve had to replace a lot of components. But every time I managed to bring it back to life even though it sometimes took a really long time. I agree, resistors, ceramic capacitors, CMOS logic, that’s true I know. Thank you for your support. Any advice is helpful.

The card has arrived. Photos attached. I am going to try installing it now. Hopefully these are the correct steps? - Set bios to UEFI - Run DDU with shut down option - Replace card in mxm slot - Boot into bios and check if detected - If detected, boot into Windows - Install modded driver (since my device is a 17 R1 Ranger) - Test, and benchmark for fun If I have any issues I will reply here. Thank you kind people who still use this forum :).

Yes, that is why a backlight mod will work, eDP = DP + backlight pins + firmware to control the backlight signals Did you manage to repair the M17x r3 motherboard ? It looks to have a lot of liquid damage, nothing impossible to fix, I assume you are already well based in SMD motherboard repairs. Usually water damage kills resistors and it can disable power stages by messing up pull up/down signals which is annoying to diagnose.

BufferMod said he never released the PCIe 3.0 patched BIOS. Only 64GB memory one is shared. I co-authored the PCIe 3.0 part as well however. If someday I could get a P570WM mainboard to experiment maybe I could try it out myself.

This^, same goes with any HX processor, these are technically desktop CPUs in a laptop there are going to run hot especially when they're running at 100w. As a Lenovo Legion 7i pro owner, Its default performance mode sucks, It allows the CPU and GPU to runs to whatever wattage the game or app needs with its fan speeds running at only at 80-90% speeds not at maximum fan speeds even at high temps, I use its custom mode, you can control the CPU wattage to lower the temps without any performance difference and control the fan speeds, You can enable Silent Performance in the BIOS which changes its balance mode to silent performance mode which allows the GPU runs at its maximum wattage which the CPU only runs at 40w+ without any performance lost with lower temps and fan speeds, Great option for most people. Other options to look at is the HP Omen 16 MAX, HP constantly has sales on it. ASUS ROG Strix 16/18 (Non Scar) Sadly there are not many options that uses AMD HX3D CPUs. To answer your display question, OLED screens has the fastest response times by far and perfect for fast paced FPS games and more color accurate than IPS screens but they're glossy and reflective and not good in direct sunlight if you dont mind that, personally the pros outweighs the cons. Try to find last year models if you want to save money as this year gaming laptops and any PC in general are very expensive thanks to AI-induced RAM apocalypse going on. Maybe they'll be good sales during black friday/holiday season but i doubt it

No, DP is the same on both platforms. The only difference is in the DP generation: DP, DP+ and DP++.

DP works in eDP screens. My 3080 has DP on DP_D and 0 eDP line in the VBIOS. Backlight mod works on that. Is there a difference between laptop DP and desktop DP?

Great, thanks for the support.

If you don't want it, I can take it 😄 CPU generation is fine, even on sandy/ivy you can still use it fo rmany use cases. Note, because it is a desktop core, eDP backlight mod won't work either. Desktop cores do not have the eDP wired into the core. It can work as DP or in SG mode unless you do some hardware mod. I think it's a great idea to try this one, once you have finished repairing the R3, let me know and I will send you my updated bios and you can work from there.

No need for retail channels. And many of the 5090's will never be listed for sale in any shops. They are already sold before they leave the factories. The grey market is huge in Asia. Chinese AI companies buy 1 million Nvidia gaming and workstation GPUs in a single year, report claims — export control-compliant chips flood the market to bridge gap in compute demand China is purportedly turning to Nvidia's gaming and workstation processors, which are compliant with U.S. export controls, repurposing them for AI. According to FT, the chips are "mostly" Nvidia's RTX Pro 6000D, RTX Pro 5000, and the RTX 5090, the latter of which is the best graphics card on the market for enthusiast gaming. Prices for 5090 has now exploded upwards here in Norway. Still no problem get one here but you pay $6400 (MSRP) for regardless model. 6 different models ready to ship and buy but they are priced equal whatsoever. Pick your poison. I expect all these will go as workstation cards. No gamer will buy them outside a few rare stupids. Nvidia GPU prices spike in Japan; prices up to 41% higher than Amazon US — RTX 5060 Ti sees the biggest increase among the RTX 50-series stack _________________________________________________________________________________ Hmmm. Intel saved by the big bLLC cache. Nova Lake ain't faster than the current Arrow Lake failure for gaming. That's not a good sign. What with games that don't rely so much on the big cache? Hmmm, not even on level with current gen vanilla Ryzen chips from last year. Nova Lake-S could encounter the same problem: cores waiting for data that ruin gaming performance. Intel Nova Lake would perform similarly to Arrow Lake in games: the bLLC versions would seek to justify the generational leap A new architecture can bring more powerful cores, even higher IPC or frequencies, and still deliver virtually the same FPS. How can this be realistic? It's difficult to square the circle, but that's the possibility that kopite7kimi has just put forward for Intel Nova Lake-S , claiming that its conventional versions would offer gaming performance quite similar to that of Arrow Lake-S

My favorite comment on the video...

New PRICE DROP! Please buy! Backlight mod v2 with PWM control: https://ebay.io/m/6xLqRv

Hello. This card looks like an early sample or ES of the 5060 by looking at the VRMs. They took the B design rather than the A design. Well, anyway I’m pretty surprised that they used a desktop core here. I’ve never seen anything like this not even in a photo. Did you check the VBIOS? To find out the TDP and display settings? It looks like it has a 145+5W TDP, 3xDP, and 1xHDMI. The TDP power slider and fan RPM slider are available here too. Since this is an integrated graphics card, you need to enable the backlight pins and, if possible, add PWM brightness control. That's no problem for me. Is the 5060 model on par with the 4070? Hard to say. I think sliderfra has an eDP R3/R4 cable. Thanks, I already have it. My R4 has an RTX 3080 16 GB card in the PEG slot; there’s no need to upgrade it because of the processor and its lack of support for the latest instructions. So what would you recommend? Is this a waste of time? I’m just pointing out that if the modification is successful, it could then be implemented on other platforms with newer CPUs of course.Maybe this could be useful for the people here looking to the future.

I have now flashed the DSanke ModBios. The new I5-9400F is working fine, but now I can’t install the driver for the original GTX 980. Systems says no compatible device found. Is it now like the old days that I have to mod the NVIDIA driver?

I dropped the core count to 6. I was able to reach 4.0GHz all cores and 4.1GHz single but crashes in TS bench. I raise voltage by +100mV but it still runs at 1.23V... But when I want to go higher than 4GHz, bios doesn't allow and restarts. Is the CPU a bad one? Never got any problems at 3.8GHz all cores Edit: switching from 6 cores mode back to 8 cores, destroyed the CPU! It does lots of error at 3.4GHZ!!! IN TS bench. Wow at least I paid like 30€ back then but wow. Guys, this CPU is dead yes? Or is the motherboard dead?
