Strategy doesn'tmatter if the money running out. But the waste of money on AI could continue if the government continues to subsidize the tech for mass surveillance. Money for AI is running out: OpenAI and Oracle cancel expansion of Texas data center for Artificial Intelligence The billions of dollars that have been put on the table are sometimes not enough. Just a year ago, money for Artificial Intelligence seemed inexhaustible, when tech giants, sovereign wealth funds, and banks...

To take advantage of that 250W CPU limit, I'm afraid even liquid cooling won't be enough. Perhaps LM + liquid cooling would be possible for short/medium duration loads, but the heatsink has aluminum parts, and caution is needed in choosing the solution for its application...

Good luck. "The Land of the Free". Soon almost gone. You always get what you ask for. It's for a reason etc Microsoft want that you only can sign in into your pc with an M$ account. Also why some states will ban Linux as your preferred OS. Forced on you by the current government. Sad! Same also happens from the different US States policy. Freedom will vanish and be something forgotten from the past. And China lead the way.... The free world will just follow after the bell sheep (China). Yupp, AI have its advantage. Government will use it to keep the citizens under their thumb. Exactly as China have done the last two decades. AI company Anthropic sues Trump administration for ban Anthropic is at odds with the Trump administration, which wants to use AI technology for mass surveillance and autonomous weapons systems.

Nothing in red or in purple. The hotspot limit is 105C for the RTX 4080 I have.

I have no idea what that means :-). I actually have a rtx3000 in my primary zbook 17. I think it's Adlink

I will soon get a G1/G2 not sure, blindly bought it for 40 euros, seller had no info at all. On g1 schematic it has eDP on DP_D One day when I have time I while write a complete guide on zbook 15/17 that have MXM slot (g1 -> g6)

u checked hotspot temps? when just one part is in the red area, will throttle... even when average GPU temp still is fine, same for VRMs, when they getting to hot, they cap the powerlimit

It could maybe be a driver issue because I didn't have any thermal throttle on the graph. Because I couldn't even edit anything in the Nvidia control panel, I probably did a bad installation thru NVCLEANSTALL. But anyway this heatsink isn't suitable for the RTX 150W. Even for the 135W ones... But the M6800 heatsink sounds more promising because it has a little bit more of endurance and I have the ones with the bad heatpipes! Edit: Cicichen didn't answer today for the new heatsink, this person told me that the new heatpipes are made and they need to get soldered. Which means the M6800 heatsink will finally fit.

Does the G1 support eDP on DP_D? You can drop an RTX 4000 or RTX 5000 from HP. I dropped an RTX 5000 HP for the Dell precision M6700 eDP 120Hz edition.

I eventually put it in my second zbook 17 g1, which is currently running a crappy K610M. I'll probably drop the M4000M into this one, and maybe sell the 8760w with k3100m inside.

Actually the pinout of 8760w motherboard eDP connector is not compatible with zbook eDP Motherboard connector. 8760w has eDP and LVDS on the same connector wheras Zbook had only eDP on the connector. pluggin zbook display cable on 8760w will short out LVDS and cause no boot at best and motherboard damage at worst. Therefore you can only salvage the display from the Zbook 17 g2. You will need to source the DreamColor cables + board made specifically for the 8760w.

The display is the same : LP173WF3-SLB3 also same as the ones ending in SBL1/SBL2/SBL4. They use an eDP cable going to a converter that converts the 40 pin eDP int 50 pin LVDS that then breaks out into 2 cables that plug into the display. Motherboard eDP connector -> (eDP cable) -> eDP to LVDS converter board -> (2x lcd cables) -> LCD 50 + 10 pin LVDS input What is sure to work is get a non working dreamcolor motherboard cable + board + LCD cable from 8760w and use the lcd you salvaged from the zbook.

The issue sounds like thermal constraints since power fluctuates, if it was a steady 100w on the m6700 you would now that you are power limited by the MXM slot. I'm guessing CPU is around 20-40% utilization so that isn't a bottleneck, same for PCIe speeds, both should be at 16x3.0

Ok thx

The GPU was at 80-90W during heaven in the M6700, with a max of 120W. M6800 was at 115-125W during the heaven benchmark, with a max of 150W.

Interesting, my 2025 Gram Pro has the Ultra 9 285h and the RTX5050. The innards seem very similar except of mine having 4 speakers instead of 2. It has not AI cooling mode, I only have Low, Normal, High and Max. Most of the time I just leave it at Normal and only when on battery and light tasks in Low, which is almost silent.

No, these are just the latest parts and versions! I'm still working on the cables, etc.

shunt mod do excite for our model here one

Tried Bifurcation again today and sadly no dice, system would hang half way through post. Oh well, I'll return the adapters at some point during the week and hang up this goal for a while. Likely going to need that adapter from C_Payne in the UK. Otherwise I want to get more hoseline and make some adjustments to my setup and the benching itch has been working me over for a while now. Maybe I'll start with the EAH4890 and potential Tri-Fire.

When we are done obliterating Iran we need to do the same to China. Evil nations need to be exterminated. There is no place for them.

do u checked with rivatuner the utilization of CPU n GPU during a run?

I think keyboard failure is the most common issue with the Grams now, LG has fixed most of the stuff year after year but keyboard failures continue over different generations. On searching keyboard on such a small subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/LGgram/search?q=keyboard&restrict_sr=on&include_over_18=on&sort=relevance&t=all

Yes, OLED laptops with their PWM issues are a problem for people who use the screen a lot. LG should provide DC dimming option like the Chinese companies do in phones, tablets etc.

Hello my friend, Have you finished the development process?

I've done that before with a P870TM and a 3080 SLI... but it only works for benchmarks, not for gaming!! 😉
