Hello I do have an RTX 4070 MXM with the backlight mod if you're interested to upgrade from your failing 980M. This card worked on my P775TM1, P870DM-G and Dell Precision M4800. You could also upgrade to an i7 8700K 6C or to a Xeon E-2286M 8C mutant CPU by modding the BIOS and blocking some pads on the CPU.

Just removing the cmos battery will not clear your bios. Scroll up and follow Mrfox's guide to clearing it. Changing the cpu should have done it also!?!?...weird.

I have an octane 2 pc specialist laptop that i want to upgrade because the gpu is failling Specs •980m 8gb mxm b(failing) •i5 6600k •32gb ddr4 2133mh •1 tb samgsung 850 evo(failing) •P751DM mobo •15.6 inch screen •battery(fucked) I am mainly trying to replace the gpu, cpu, screen and ram. I know that the i7 7700k is the best cpu i can easily get but i was wondering if their any mods for my mobo that could allow a better cpu

Eban - I'm looking at your comment from 4th October. You mentioned secure boot should be turned off...but I'm confident it has been turned on this whole time 🫪. Surely that alone is not causing my problem? I found the link you shared for creating inf file. Will try that out as a backup. Motherboard is out and replacing CMOS battery now. Thought about upgrading to 32gb RAM while it's opened up but ehhhh 16gb is still enough these days...

I've decided to just disassemble the laptop and take out the CMOS battery and replace it with a new CMOS battery. Hopefully that fully wipes the firmware settings and when I turn the computer on, it will reconfigure and recognise the NVIDIA gpu. I have this feeling that unsuccessfully mucking around with Nvcleaninstall messed it up for me. Does anyone know to how to mod an NVIDIA driver? I will try that instead this time and avoid Nvcleaninstall.

Tux looks like he is going to eat that MSN butterfly.

Right in time to push up the prices before we see 5080@24GB at $3000 at the cheapest. This starting be an sickness. $1470 for xx70Ti class cards is just disgusting. Asus Im looking at you🤮 Sad seeing China still being prioritized. But important if you want highest possible ASP for your products globally. I expect also many of the cards will come from Microcenter (they stopped the sale on some sites but with stocks available that none could buy). Creepy business blessed by Jensen and his partners (AIBs) +retail😒

Hey, How did this work out? I am thinking Zorin 18 will work perfect for this device. I have it on a dell inspiron 3169 touchscreen 2 in 1 device and it works great. Touch and flip works as intended on my system.

Gigabyte and Asus raising prices of the 5080..... Prices on the rise again....Microcenter Edition Cheapest 5060ti 16GB is now $739.99 Cheapest 5070 is now $769.99 Cheapest 5070ti is now $1159.99 Cheapest 5080 is now $1779.99 5090 is vapourware atm but my Microcenter does still have a singular Asus 20th anniversary kit in stock for $11k+ after tax (More below) Microcenter does have the best overall prices on Nvidia cards across the stack compared to PCPP of cards actually in stock.... Asus has the 5090 Astral (all three editions white, black and LC) in stock on their site for $5500, $5600 and $5700 respectively but it's a sham. It is part of a bundle deal you have to order with a slew of their other items coming out to $9107+....at that point, I'd just pony up for the 20th anniversary edition....which means never. After that, cheapest third party 5090 available is $8599.99 on Amazon for the GB Aorus Infinity Edition... ---------- Cheapest 9060xt is $799.99 ($589.99 on PCPP) Cheapest 9070 is $719.99 ($699.99 on PCPP) Cheapest 9070xt is "on sale" Steel Legend for $799.99 (normally $899.99) ($829.99 on PCPP) One of the few rare times MC has the worse pricing across the board for AMD cards for normal pricing.... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ @Papusan look at this 5090 "conversion factory" just sucking up any and all 5090s and converting them for rack AI deployment....can't blame Nvidia for capping that cheaper source of 5090s and funneling that $$$ into their own pocket instead....right? https://videocardz.com/newz/heres-where-the-last-rtx-5090-cards-are-going-massive-ai-conversion-factory-exposed-in-china-founders-edition-included By the new year, if not sooner, I expect them to be offering $6k+ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Galax HOF 5080 with dual 12vhpwr connectors but only one or the other alternative mode? But swarovski crystals and a $3k price makes it perfect?! Ewwww, I'm good.... https://videocardz.com/newz/galax-launches-worlds-first-rtx-5080-with-dual-12v-2x6-connectors-costs-3000 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Like I said, locally buyers will come to your place or meet up locally, have rigs to test your 5090 and hand you a fat stack of $5500 to buy your 5090. They used to do Zelle, but methinks that is a bit too traceable..... One of my Fallout 76 buddies who lives up on the other side of Philly caved and sold his Founders Edition for $5700 locally to someone who actually wanted it for their own use (in theory). I think I mentioned him last year when I got to experience his coil whine first hand. He got in on the VPA program with Nvidia summer of 2025 and snagged it but he needed the $$$ and replaced it with an open box Reaper 9070xt for $679.99 (~$634.99 after MC discount) so when all was said and done he netted a ~$3k profit even after the 9070xt pickup and more importantly the $5k he applied to some bills overall. We were playing and I asked him how was the downgrade on his 9800X3D system and after struggling for a few days at 4k max settings (over chat all I kept hearing was 'sheesh this SUCKS....CHUNKEEEEE!') he admitted defeat and dropped down to 1440p and swapped his 32" 4k display for his secondary 27" 1440p display. In his words, "this sucks, but it is what it is..." 🤣 He has a 2x32GB of G.Skill kit (I think it is F5-6000J2636H48GX2-TZ5NR) I know he picked up before the ramapocalyse that he is going to sell as soon as he can land a "6000 anything 2x16GB kit for sub $300."

You could boot the system blindly from a USB drive and ensure that a boot script will launch the EC flash commands and shutdown the system upon completion. Once you verify that EC has been properly flashed by checking fans with Fn+1, clear CMOS by pressing Fn+D and keeping it pressedd while you press the power on button. EDIT: The EC Flash fw includes EFI commands (in the *.nsh script file), so use EFI shell.

The laptop can’t show data on screen with rtx 3080 if i disable the UEFI mode in Bios so i cant boot up on legacy mode to upgrade the EC BIOS

Finally! 🎉 I managed to repair an RTX 3080 graphics card that was about to end up in the trash, with a total repair cost of less than $80! Two traces between D1 and C0, which connect to the GPU, were broken. I repaired the GPU by performing a reballing, and the card came back to life! Many people told me to throw it away, that the card was dead, and that I should just buy a new one, especially with prices being ridiculously high. I actually bought another card on eBay from the same seller I had purchased the original one from, only to discover that it was faulty too. I ended up returning it to the seller. That experience made me even more determined to stick with my original card, as long as the GPU was still outputting data and the problem was somewhere on the PCB. What I learned from this journey: Never give up! 💪 Make the most of every repair video you watch, learn from every experience, and keep trying. All those graphics card repair videos I watched turned out to be incredibly valuable in bringing this card back to life. Sometimes, a little patience, knowledge, and persistence can save a GPU that everyone else has already given up on! 🔧🔥

I’m not 100% sure, Honestly, I’m not sure you can do much here cuz you should know that the 8970M is basically a rebadged 7970M, which was already one of the best AMD cards for that slot, I mean I had one these bois earlier, so I know that much but I don’t know what you’d even upgrade to. Putting in an Nvidia card sounds like trouble to me, since the BIOS is built around Enduro and I doubt it would even boot but you could try , I mean risk it for the biscuit situation. The cooling is made for the stock card too. For 50 bucks, just get the 2x8GB RAM, a better SSD, a keyboard and a battery. That’s where I’d put the money. you know for the built to be in sync the built should have components that are right against each other , earlier some hardware issue came in my laptop too and I asked gpt everything , then I realized a few things about this , and I remember gpt sugessted me a site too where they had this cool feature to compare parts against each toher , I think the site name was Etech Devices. anyways, I suggest you before buying anything , you should know what you are buying , hop into some review before it and search a query like this for example "Acer gaming laptop 0001 model issues" like that and im sure there will be a reddit page for that .. if there's not you are good to go

Does anyone know how to flash the EC BIOS on P870TM with rtx 3080 and modded dsanke Bios support 9900ks & 128g ram & rtx 30xx gpu

Got a multimeter? Look for a short

Playing with CachyOS on the Workstation atm.

I’ve had the Fury Impact 6400MT/s CL38 XMP 1.35V single-rank kit for a few months now, and I’m able to achieve stability with (only) dGPU mode: ratio: 216 (7200) tCL : 34 tRCD/tRP : 42 tRAS : 54 tCWL : 32 tFAW : 32 tREFI : 49152 tRFC : 400 tRRD : 0 tRTP : 12 tWR : 48 tWTR : 0 tRFCpb : 320 tRFC2 : 400 tRFC4 : 0 tRRD_L : 16 tRRD_S : 8 tWTR_L: 24 tCCD_L : 16 tCCD_L_WR : 32 tWTR_S : 6 NMode : 2 VDD : 1350 VDDQ : 1250 VPP : 1800

Has anyone overclocked the RAM on a Precision 7540/7740? I’m currently using 4x16GB HyperX Impact 2666MT/s CL15 modules, and I’ve tested it with 2x8GB Fury Impact 3200MT/s CL20 modules—it worked at 3200, which means 3200 SPD is supported. I’m looking to find out if anyone knows the specific command for `ru.efi` to make the RAM overclocking options appear in Smokeless... If I’m not mistaken, memory adjustments were possible using Smokeless on older BIOS versions.

Hello news. The Xeon E5-1680 v2 does 4.5GHz all cores in a ASUS RAMPAGE IV Extreme motherboard. So the CPU isn't dead. I got myself an i7 4960X from that motherboard. The CPU can overclock all cores to 4.0GHz and even 4.1GHz. but... The voltage is stuck at 1.281V max. Why? I raised by 100mV but I'm still stuck at 1.281V. It does lots of errors in ThrottleStop but doesn't BSOD. I get a BSOD when applying on Intel XTU Did anyone overclock with Prema BIOS?
