What do you mean by “making it accessible”!? My solution is a kit, so anyone who really wants to can install it themselves.

Yes, that was my plan from the start. The P870xx doesn't have automatic lane detection. Unfortunately, only 8 lanes are routed per MXM port. That's how Clevo designed it. My solution is a modification that allows the desktop graphics card to support all 16 lanes! :-)

In the picture, you can see how the two ports are configured. These ports transmit the DisplayPort signal from the desktop graphics cards to the internal display and an external DisplayPort! Unfortunately, this was the only signal configuration possible because the MXM board could only handle that much! With the cables connecting the desktop graphics card to my board, full integration of the desktop graphics card into the P870xx series is possible!!!

In China the X7 358H/32GB Ram/1TB is sold now for 14500rmb. Not that expensive. But it surely won't be below 2500 Euros or 2500usd with that price. China and Korea are always the cheapest places to buy the gram.

I know everyone is getting excited, but please keep the double posting to a minimum. Curious you are using both MXM connectors?

We need more heroes like the kid that snuffed out this piece of crap. He deserves a medal.

I love this guy's work. Always awesome. His messaging is great and I love his style of heavy metal. Another new truth bomb gem from Brother Tom...

I wonder how many people are going to send me a PM asking for this? https://www.overclock.net/posts/29569587/ I decided not to sell the Strix and 4090 to pay for the new SFF build. No interest on Facepoot Marketplace, just lots of stupid emojis because it was out of nearly everyone's league to trolls there. I gave the entire system to one of my sons that is an avid gamer, took his system that I built a couple of years ago and gave it to my daughter. She developed an addiction to Baldur's Gat 3 and played almost 600 hours in the past 90 days using a system I gave her with an X79 mobo and CPU and RX 580. So both got an upgrade. The system I took from my son and gave to my daughter has a B650 AORUS Elite AX, 7700X CPU and RTX 3060 12GB. So, both of them ended up with nice upgrades. This was the ExtremeHardware review video on the system (case and AIO) I build a couple of years ago that I gave to my daughter today. After cleaning it up, repasting, fresh install of Windoze and adding an extra 2TB NVMe for her Steam library it looks and runs like new. Both kids were thrilled. (They're middle-aged adults but still my "kids" and always will be.)

give me the bios at DM

i think isnt a prob with the CPU bcs of the BCLK... mostly its the SSD which dont like higher clocks(PCIe runs with the same speed at the BCLK, only on some Z boards = desktop u can sperate PCIe clock from the BCLK). on my desktop system(ryzen = PCIe fixed to BCLK) my old samsung PM951 was able to run with 106MHz while my new 990 pro stops working at 102.8MHz 😞 n will try those stuff, hope the "new" mainboard with the xeon e3-1575m v5 has a old bios on it so no bios backflash mod needed 😄 that 2933MHz mem runs is fab, already looking for a 2x16GB hyperX kit, but hard to find, n those 3200 wont boot 😞

Hello, I see you know how to edit some BIOS. I have a laptop and I don't know if it has a whitelist. It's for GPU MXM upgrade, clevo X7200 from 2010.

as the same, i am trying to unlock hidden options for this bios. any update of the same i upload here

COMPAQ C700 F.35 BIOS with unlocked WLAN whitelist! put any WLAN adapter without getting a bootloop and a alert. bios tested in my compaq C770LA. winflash tested in Windows 10 LTSC 21H2. no need to downgrade to Vista to flash. Original file name : sp48079.exe https://www.mediafire.com/file/kt8bs5oj5iq9eh4/sp48079_WLANuLK_by_FrancoTecno.zip/file this is the type of job i make in my freetime. if you like to get an specific BIOS version patched, write me at DM. Enjoy!

BIOS Advanced (D2D / NGU) and XTU (NGU / Ring).

This card will works with M2010 in DVI output. You can use Universal scaler to convert DVI signal to LVDS 8 bit 2 channel.

Not much owners for this amazing DTR. Loading some photos, what you never see in internet if search Dell Quadro FX3600M 512MB video card from dell Precision M6300.

Well no one knows yet. It could be a BIOS/EC issue actually. The M15X works with Fermi cards all the way up to Maxwell cards in LVDS. The X7200 laptop could boot even if it can't detect the GPU's temperature sensor. For example, I tried with an AMD card. It displays and boots. Then, after 10 seconds, the laptop started to beep and went into panic mode. At the end the laptop shutdown because of the temperature sensor of the GPU. The slave slot of the X7200, I had no issues with the EC fan controls for the 970M, 980M and Quadro K3100M, no panic, no beeps, fan works.

There is no whitelist for graphics cards. Older Clevo laptops often have issues running non-native graphics cards due to the address of the graphics card's temperature sensor on the SMBus. Possible solutions include replacing the sensor on the card, connecting an external sensor to the MXM slot's pins, or modifying the laptop's EC controller firmware.

One other question how is the internal screen routed ? I'm assuming it doesn't have to be plugged in differently

That's the way to do it 🙂 hopefully you will make it accessible to others .. this whole thing is neat . Also I have the really heavy full copper vapor chamber on my laptop . I'm assuming it should be able to cool at least a 250 watt GPU since my full 3080ti mobile is a 200 wTt card and never hits above 60c in gaming

hi, please can you tell me where to OC the D2D NGU and cache? i cant find where

The M15X is from 2010, uses the same first gen core i technology (45nm and 32nm) as the X7200 and it's able to use the GTX 980M or Quadro M5000M as the master card without any Intel Optimus. The M15X didn't have UEFI too, it's full LEGACY. So why can't the Clevo X7200 do the same? I'm sure there's a whitelist. A GPU whitelist that was updated when the Kepler 600 series were out. Presumably they added the whitelist because of the newer version from Clevo that was coming out, the P570WM. The P570WM LVDS could allow up to a GTX 980M and the P570WM3 could allow up to an RTX Ada in eDP. Which means that the P570WM doesn't have a whitelist for sure. How can we remove the whitelist? with a BIOS editor?

I've done that a dozen times with various keyboard models, always with good success. Even did it with models with kb backlight and mouse nub. It's pretty straightforward. Just remove the keyboard and completely submerge it in medium-hot water for a an hour or two. Maybe you also want to add some isopropyl alcohol after some time. Then dry it thoroughly with a towel and squish out all the excess water underneath the keys (and use centrifugal force to your advantage 🙂). Then use compressed air (like from a really strong compressor 🙂) to further blow out any remaining droplets until dry. Then put it on a towel and leave it for 24h (yes) on a radiatior to dry out completely. Should be as good as new after this. I was typing all of this on a zbook 17 g1 with a keyboard which had non-responsive keys and lagging input before this procedure.
